I’ve never in my lifetime felt closer to a new civil war in this country than I do right now. People are going to start fighting back, and very soon......and it’s going to get really, really ugly.
I can’t stress enough the fact that EVERY public event - be it 2nd amendment, taxes, pro-life - needs to be VIDEOTAPED. In addition ALWAYS carry a camera because you never know what you’ll see.
While I hope that some video will pop up I am quite confident that if a video was made this would go viral. Of course Democrat leaders would claim that these are rabble-rousers that don’t reflect the core of the movement (just like they did in responding to the Oakland Occupiers that burned the flag) but in the end it would still put them on notice for any future thuggery.
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens in Chicago in a few months with the G8 meeting but I guarantee you it will not be pretty...and that’s - in a perverse way - good. As these folks get more and more radical you will see a huge swaying of opinion espoused at water coolers and kitchen tables alike that will not be kind to Occupiers and the stench will stink up the Democrats from the political elite all the way down to the grassroots.
And from RO: I’ve never in my lifetime felt closer to a new civil war in this country than I do right now.
Sadly, I am basically in agreement with these two comments. The OWS movement seems to be morphing into a brownshirt-style of street fighters, not law-abiding dissidents. The potential is certainly there, and the current administration will do nothing to stop them. It's up to local cities to rein them in. And I am not sure they are up to the task.
As is nearly self-evident, when local law enforcement fails, the victims eventually fight back, and fight back hard. Remember the Committees of Vigilance? They were mostly justified, and mostly caught and hung the right scumbags. When will our government, at every level, stand up for public order? Also, when will the MSM begin to cover the worst actions of OWS? Maybe never, or until something world-changing happens. These are truely interesting times.
Won`t happen. Obama`s thugs will pull the mobs back just enough each time to let the rage die off a bit, then send them forward again.
They know exactly what they`re doing. We don`t.

I’ve gotten the same feel from these stories, but have yet to experience or see any of the things described; I’m less than 10 miles west of NYC, one mile northeast of Newark NJ, and without these stories I’d never know this stuff was even happening.
I think you're right on this. I'm working on figuring out who will be in front of my sights and who will be behind them. Watching the comments / links posted by my friends on Facebook is becoming very interesting...hehe....
And if that's what it takes to clean up the country, so be it. They say they want a revolution... go ahead and start one!
