Violence Breaks Out During ‘Occupy Wall Street’ March Toward New York Stock Exchange

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Just a few hours after protesters learned they’d be able to stay in Zuccotti Park indefinitely, violence broke out as a group marched away from it.

Protesters, apparently jubilant over being able to stay in the park after their furious cleanup efforts, took their brooms, flags and signs and started fanning out at around 7:30 a.m.

1010 WINS’ Steve Sandberg reported the protesters were saying things to the effect that now that they’d cleaned up the park, they were going to clean up Wall Street.

A group of protesters headed south on Broadway toward the New York Stock Exchange, carrying their brooms. Police were taken off-guard, Sandberg reported. The group swelled quickly and wound up in a confrontation with police as they tried to gain access to Wall Street. The standoff occurred near Bowling Green as they turned left on Beaver Street.

Police urged protesters to stay out of the street and stay on the sidewalk.

Exclusive: Bill Ayers Talks About Election Night in Grant Park

From NBC Chicago, Jan 21, 2009:

Bill Ayers was "overflowing with happiness, relief, love" when he and his wife went to Grant Park with tens of thousands of Chicagoans to celebrate the election of President Barack Obama.

Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, spoke exclusively with NBC Chicago's Dick Johnson about why they joined the Election Night celebration in the park, where 40 years before they helped stage the Days of Rage riots.

The couple said they got last-minute tickets from a friend to be in Grant Park that night.

"I couldn't stop crying a couple of times. I found the exact spot where I was beaten 40 years ago," Ayers said. "But I've never been in a crowd that large that wasn't edged with either anger or drunkenness or gluttony, and it was really an extraordinary feeling."

Showing any civility to the scum is always a mistake. The only they understand and respect is a baton upside the head.

That dress makes Mooshelle look like a Black Widow spider. Her bite on America has been deadly too.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Amazing they should be so hostile to the police, since without a really strong police state, none of their demands will ever come to fruition.

Glenn Beck just reported on his radio show that these “protestors” were throwing bottles at the police.

[cuban leaf]

“One man lost his balance and was run over by a police motorcycle” no mention about the half dozen photographers standing in a semicircle around him snapping shots as he delivered his perfoprmance.”

That picture cracked me up too. It’s like something out of a Leslie Nielson movie.

Somebody must have gotten the pMSNBC memo about needing a Kent State Moment (KSM).

Glenn Beck just reported....

Oh come on, you can't believe anything Glenn says! Don't you know he's nuts!/S/

[Wilderness Conservative]

All modesty aside, I sounded the alarm on September 17th when people were laughing at this development. I dare say smirks and smiles are fading and most people are starting to take this serious.

[cuban leaf]

I commend the photographer that took that photo. He’s the one with a real “eye”. This is, though on a much smaller scale, in the same vein as the famous Sailor Kissing Nurse photo after WWII.

It is one of those pictures that really IS worth a thousand words.

[ETL]

they are apparently saddened, that they might have lost their Kent-State moment, and are scrambling to reconstruct one...

Here's a link to an excellent detailed analysis of what really happened at Kent State...

(sample)

"the purpose of all this agitation at Kent State was to recruit as much cannon fodder as possible, and then to provoke a "major confrontation." When it came, it would be neither accidental nor spontaneous. It would be exactly what the revolutionaries wanted.

On April 8, 1969, S.D.S. toughs marched through various campus buildings, disrupting classes as planned, chanting "Ho, Ho, Ho chi Minh," and striking campus police officers. One of these hoodlums pleaded nolo contendere to a charge of assault and battery, and drew a fine and jail sentence. The university scheduled a disciplinary hearing for two others on April sixteenth, at which time about one hundred revolutionaries smashed into the Music and Speech building where the hearing was being held, destroyed property, and again attacked police officers. Of the fifty-eight demonstrators arrested, ten were not even students at the school. At the rally preceding the march on the disciplinary hearing, non-student Jim Mellen told the audience as follows: "We're no longer asking you to come and help us make a revolution. We're telling you that the revolution has begun, and the only choice you have to make is which side you're on. And we're also telling you that if you get in the way of the revolution, it's going to run right over you." Mr. Mellen's remarks were included in a liberally distributed S.D.S. pamphlet, which began with a quotation from Mao Tse-tung and the following warning: "The war is on at Kent State University ...."

At a meeting in Williams Hall on April 28, 1969, revolutionary Communist Bernardine Dohrn said that people fighting "oppression" would have to carry weapons for "self defense." On May sixth, at another campus rally, Joyce Cecora called for armed rebellion: "They used guns at Cornell and they got what they wanted. It will come to that here!" And at still another rally on campus on May twenty-second, S.D.S. member Rick Skirvin said this: "We'll start blowing up buildings, we'll start buying guns, we'll do anything to bring this motherf***er down."

Michener quotes a student named Ken Tennant as follows: "With me it goes back to the music festival they held at Fred Fuller Park in September, 1969. Four Weathermen came down from Chicago, with insignia on their bib overalls. They were selling their organization newspaper, and I said, 'I'll buy a copy if you'll tell me what your outfit stands for.' They said, 'We're going to destroy this corrupt American society and build a better.' I asked how, and they explained, 'We've decided to close down schools all over the nation. We're going to start in Chicago. But we have our eye on Kent State, too. It could be ripe.' "

Bear in mind that we have room here to cite only a few examples of the inflammatory agitation and propaganda on the campus at Kent State for almost two years. The evidence establishes—in the words of the revolutionaries—that the goal of S.D.S. was to provoke a violent confrontation in which somebody would be hurt, or even worse.

And the most incredible such example took place on April 10, 1970, when Jerry Rubin spoke on the campus at Kent State. Jerry Rubin is a Communist, of course. We can be absolutely sure of that because he has said so repeatedly. In fact he said he was a Communist when your reporter asked him about it at the Democrat National Convention in Miami in 1972. At that Convention Rubin also said that, when he and his Comrades take over, your reporter will be gassed. At Kent State, Communist Jerry Rubin said this: "The first part of the Yippie program is to kill your parents. And I mean that quite literally, because until you're prepared to kill your parents, you're not ready to change this country. Our parents are our first oppressors."

Your first reaction on reading a thing like this, of course, is that maybe I have taken it out of context. You refuse to believe that anybody would say this. But Rubin really told the students what you just read. It is important to remember that, at the time, Jerry Rubin was a convicted criminal—he had been convicted for leading the turmoil at the 1968 Democrat National Convention in Chicago, where terrorists attacked the police—which raises the question of how such a man could be permitted to address students on a university campus in Ohio.**

Rubin also told the Kent State students to burn down the suburbs. "The American school system will be ended in two years," he explained. "We are going to bring it down. Quit being students. Become criminals. We have to disrupt every institution and break every law. We should have more laws so we can break them, too. Everybody should have their own law to break." As for the campus itself, Comrade Rubin told the students to ignore their professors, and to "burn all the books. It's quiet here now but things are going to start again."

The campus was now ready. Almost two years of intensive Communist propaganda had their effect. A sufficient number of students was willing to serve as cannon fodder for the revolutionary "cause." The Communists needed only an excuse to provoke their "major confrontation." Three weeks later they got their excuse.

"...it is important to quote at length from the state grand jury report on the affair: "Fifty-eight Guardsmen were injured by rocks and other objects hurled at them as they moved across the 'Commons' to Taylor Hall Hill and down to the practice football field, and were then forced to retreat .... it is clear that from the time the Guard reached the practice football field, they were on the defensive and had every reason to be concerned for their own welfare .... The circumstances present at that time indicate that 74 men surrounded by several hundred hostile rioters were forced to retreat back up the hill toward Taylor Hall under a constant barrage of rocks and other flying objects, accompanied by a constant flow of obscenities and chants such as 'Kill, Kill, Kill.' Photographic evidence has established, beyond any doubt, that as the National Guardsmen approached the top of the hill adjacent to Taylor Hall, a large segment of the crowd surged up the hill, led by smaller groups of agitators approaching to within short distances of the rear ranks of the Guardsmen.

"The testimony of the students and Guardsmen is clear that several members of the Guard were knocked to the ground or to their knees by the force of the objects thrown at them. ..."

I’m with you. I’ve been waiting for a Critical Mass moment for about two years. This OWS thing could be it, though something is going to have to “pop” somewhere to be more than another million man march fiasco. So far, they just look stupid. pMSNBC is kinda right when they say it needs a KSM. At least for their ratings, if nothing else.

[Sudetenland]

The vapid youth of the left--useful idiots for those who wish nothing less than the complete deconstruction of our society so they can replace it with their tired, old, universally failed, mythical socialist Utopia.

This is nothing more than a faint echo of what occurred in the 60's. The MSM is attempting to build it into the next great revolution, but it is nothing more than a small group of bored, disgruntled, naive, ignorant college students being led around by their nose rings by their Marxist professors and union bosses.

What occurred in the 60's was at least two magnitudes larger in numbers and after all the hype and yelling, they achieved very little. Nixon won the election, McCarthy disappeared into obscurity and all of those bored college students went back to school and became lawyers, accountants, and board members of the very corporations they were protesting--they became part of the very "system" they were decrying.

Barack Obama on Bill Ayers: “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know...”

> “One man lost his balance and was run over by a police motorcycle”

Bolshevik theater from bolshevik rabble.

Bolshevik means “majority” in Russian, and these rabble are proclaiming themselves as such.

May as well use the proper term: Bolshevik.

By the way, “Menshevik” means “minority” in Russian, and that’s what they claim we are.

These rabble are trying a repeat of the October takeover of the Russian government by the Bolsheviks. The month is no coincidence. What’s missing, as far as I can tell, is a secret deal between the Bolsheviks and the Army’s generals to get them out of an unpopular war.

What the modern U.S. bolsheviks do have is complicity in the highest places of U.S. government, including its presidency.

I expect things to get more violent.

Yep these Fleabaggers are just like the Tea Party no doubt about it see the similarities.....

Pelosi, Reid, and Obama applaud the new civility.....

Where is the outrage from the media? From the Left? They sympathize with the Wall Street Fleabags.....

What happened? Did Bloomberg back down and not order them out so the park could be cleaned up? Did that private company which owns this park back down?

I think somebody, somewhere, brought pressures to cancel the clean out order. It was all set to go, now all of a sudden it’s not happening???

And the protesters show their gratitude by becoming more aggressive. This backing down could backfire.
