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.
These people are organised and financed by someone.
Who is telling them where to go and who is paying their bills to get there?
If they want to go around jostling people they need to get jostled back—hard.
