I completely agree that violence is sometimes necessary to achieve a desired result. Hell, doesn't this country use violence every signal day to enforce its policies; both foreign and domestic? The ones in power don’t really give a crap about the average Joe on the street and they sure as hell can careless about our futures or the future of our children. WE ARE SLAVES! So if we have to take to the streets and fight fire with fire, so be it. We need to wake up and reclaim or souls.

There actually was no permit obtained...it never would've been issued for a protest like this in the first place. That being said, the protest was tolerated much longer than I thought it would be, but you're right that the crackdown was inevitable, with or without permits/violent troublemakers.

Force is needed for it to get through to these mindless cops. I can't stand being on the west coast and seeing this. I'd be all up their face with their tyranical laws. Here is a video that shows how oblivious cops are at the orders of their masters affect on citizens. They need some cattle prods and rope for those police in Wall St.

Cops tried to take our stuff for no reason. As always NO media coverage.

Here's my motto: if you're gonna challenge the militia make sure you have your inhaler. STOP WHINING WHEN YOU GET ARRESTED!!! Stoicism has its virtue.

People just can't set up and camp out wherever they please, for however long they please. Society wouldn't work very well for very long with that going on just so kids can feel special and get some TV time.

If certain groups of people pulled the stick out of their ass, it certainly could.

Maybe this was all a test run to check the reactions.

I'm going to assume that this demonstration had a legal permit, or this would've happened much earlier. I am further guessing that the permit expired last night, or this morning.

I really didn't see any police violence, no tasers, doesn't mean it didn't happen. It reminded me of the peacefull sit-ins of the '60 and '70, that did result in real violence. But this wasn't anything like those days.

Actually the Mayor of New York gave the O.K. for protests:

Mayor Bloomberg gives "O.K." to Anonymous protesters

“People have a right to protest, and if they want to protest, we’ll be happy to make sure they have locations to do it,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sept. 15 at a press conference. “As long as they do it where other people’s rights are respected, this is the place where people can speak their minds, and that’s what makes New York New York.”

ETA: Apparently the police didn't get the memo.

Actually the path should be...

1. Ask to change their ways.
2. civil disobedience.
3. crack their skulls.

That's how we founded the U.S.A. And we're obligated to do the same according to the Declaration of Independence... to throw of the despotic shackles and the like:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
