Well I guess we will see in time...so far it sure doesn't look like the police state pigs are looking to let up.
"Mass Arrests On Brooklyn Bridge 4:35 PM"
Can only imagine how this scene would have played out with a patrol of Devil Dawgs standing in between the police state thugs and the "protesters" (a word that just doesn't sit well with me because look at what they are "protesting"? Our rights? Our Constitution? The fact that our country was stolen out right out from under us in a blatant attempt to destroy us and our REPUBLIC FOR WHICH WE STAND...WE ARE NOT A FREAKING DEMOCRACY!!
Nah....all of the things that are currently being "protested" against should have NEVER HAD HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE!! Lets hope that these battle lines get quickly drawn because I have had it with the attack that has been perpetrated against the country, MY country that I took and oath to serve and protect against ALL enemies BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC I can only hope that I have Americas best right there alongside of me...and after seeing reports like this, I now have renewed hope that they will be there.edit on 1-10-2011 by Newbomb Turk because: (no reason given)

That is an extremely gray area though.
Destroying private property is fairly obvious, but what about disrupting commerce? Blocking traffic? Breaking other laws? Unlawful protest because they aren't permitted? Jaywalking? Resisting arrest? Failing to Obey a Lawful Order?
So many things these days are illegal, that it isn't clear what is a real protest and what crosses the line. The protestors are already breaking the law, even though they have a Constitutional right to protest, the city says they need a permit, and the city isn't going to permit them indefinitely, or for busy times, or allow them to disrupt commerce and travel.
So, when do the Marines defend the protestors and when do they consider it crossing the line?
In my mind, there is no such thing as "peaceful" protest. If they want things to change, they are going to have to make it happen one way or another.

Right, this is what I was getting at. The Marines are going to be putting themselves into a very tight and ugly spot. What will the protesters do to the Marines if this goes south and the Marines decide the protesters have crossed the line?

I googled occupy wall street webcam and came up with this site. It's supposed to be live streaming, but is not.

What is even more curious is that the viewer counter is running backwards. When I first logged on, it was 14414 viewers. About a minute later it was 14327! And it just keeps going backwards!!!!
