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.
In addition to your concealed piece? These people get violent, it seems it's all they understand.
Conservatives are now at a point that they must realize they will be physically assaulted for their beliefs.
Tea Party/other groups need to bring videocameras to all events.
There was the case of the woman badly injured in Washington, DC a while back by being pushed steps by thugs...
Your point on videotaping is well taken.
I think most of these ‘events’ haven’t really occured, that they’re really a figment of someones imagination, or there would be video of them.
