The Occupy Wall Streeters are about to create chaos for 99 percent of the city.

In one of the largest demonstrations in recent city history, the anti-greed rabble plans to swarm the subways, take over the Brooklyn Bridge and shut down the stock exchange today.

Truly they are Obama's Army. He is their CIC and is calling the shots

...Which is why I believe this is a dry run for the REAL deal: disrupting voting on Election Day in 2012. Remember the flash mobs that preceded all this?

Mob action is a tool long used by the Left to intimidate others and reach its goals.

I prefer, "the anti-greed rabble greedily plans to swarm the subway and inconvenience the lives and finances of millions to highlight their personal beliefs at the expense of others. The said rabble saw nothing hypocritical about this."

sounds like the height of the rally will occur at 3:00 p.m

Amazing, hunh.

If they wanted to screw things up, they'd start with morning rush hour and let the casade effect goof up the entire day.

But, 7:30am is tooooo eaaaarly. Esp after you've been on a bender the night before.

The mild-mannered people of New York won’t mind one bit.

This will momentarily piss off New Yorkers, but it'll all be forgotten by October 2012.

*I think it should read “the GREEDY, anti-success rabble...at the very least (and I’m being nice)*

So, let me get this straight.

The people who sacrificed by taking difficult classes in school, worked hard jobs, denied themselves to save money so that they could take a risk and start a business are the greedy ones, but a bum who wants a handout or a Communist that wants to make everyone poor (so that things will be “equal”) is somehow virtuous?

I wonder who will profit from the sale when Soros orders them to wear brown shirts for the next riot.

I wonder if they will balk when he tells them that they can't wear their tye-dye anymore.

I bet they’re a lot less popular tomorrow than they were yesterday. New Yorkers were able to tolerate them as long as they only had to see them on the news. When they start causing personal hardship for all the commuters they’re going to incur the wrath of the populace and the mayor will be forced to do something.

Yahoo Finance is reporting "About 500" protesters.

So, that means maybe a subway car or two's worth.

NYC might not even notice. What if they held a protest, and no one cared?

It's telling that the only people paying attention to this, is the MSM.

It’ll take the unions that long to bus the thugs in.

I only hope those who get arrested get a prison record, so employers who are looking for workers can look at that record and say “UP yours” I dont hire criminals.

LOL! 500 people, how pathetic is that?! Black Friday at the East Kalamazoo Wal Mart will draw a bigger crowd.

So far just hundreds. The MSM has always inflated the numbers. This “movement” is more a creation of the media and the Dems. Its astroturfed demonstrations are represent the very fringes of our society.

And probably 100 of the 500 are MSM reporters and cameramen.

If I had to pass through these creeps, none of them would stand in MY way. They would no longer be standing.

...Which is why I believe this is a dry run for the REAL deal: disrupting voting on Election Day in 2012. Remember the flash mobs that preceded all this?

There are over 12,000 voting precincts in PA and the vast majority are in rural areas or small towns.

There are over 1,000,000 hunters in PA and it's a right to carry state and at the last TEA party I attended I'd estimate that 10% were carrying.

How well do you think this scum would do trying to disrupt voting in this environment?

I have been and will continue to be a poll watcher and I volunteer for the "bad boy demonRAT cheating" precincts and I always carry two pistols, a cell phone, hunting knife, two cameras and I wear steel toed high top boots.

There have been words but its never gone past that stage, usually the video-camera running is enough deterrent to prevent any escalation.

I hate union thugs, demonRATS and lawyers and not necessarily in that order.
