Yeah I agree that peaceful protests are about useless these days, it just goes on unnoticed and nothing gets done...
As JFK once said, those who make peaceful revoltuion impossible, make violent revolution innevitable.

This is not about Americans rising up against wall street. It's about public unions decrying the fact that they might have to pay a portion of their health care and bemoaning the fact that there $100K salary + benefit packages are being scrutinized by the public. The demonstration you are seeing was orchestrated by the unions and does not represnt mainstream America at all. It is not "spontaneous." It was ordeered by the union bosses.
the "Great Awakening" is the fact that mainstream Americans are finally realizing how screwed they have been by the public unions in the first place. It's about time that ordinary citizens rose up and informed public servants that they are our employees and we are not their servants.

Clearly Russia has got it wrong.LOL Those are protests from the union laws implemented in WI. To even suggest people were protesting against wall street and the banks just shows how far RT will go in twisting the news. They are just like every other news channel in the US. Corrupt and spineless. The people protesting would have spent their energy better by protesting against CNNNBCCBSNYTIMES and the dozens of others who only report half truths and fluff news.
You are kidding me right? You have to do more than just state they twisted the facts. I don't see how it was twisted..... What they said goes against what every other MSM has said, so -- for them to be in "cahoots" with them is a bit of a stretch... no?
I however do agree, if people protest MSM it would have more importance, this is not to say that what they were protesting is useless....
Or maybe I missed something somewhere??????
If I did, could you explain it for me in a civil manner?

There was nothing in my previous post to suggest I was being uncivil. The footage in original OP was not about Wall Street. The footage shown was from LA protests supporting the Union protests in WI. RT today lied when they said it was not reported any where else. Check the link in my previous post and you will see ABC covered the protest. RT said the protest was about Americans rising up against wall street. The protesters were protesting the WI law concerning the Union in WI.
