No, they'd love it.
All the good little sheeple relying on Big Brother to provide everything. Health care, Jobs, Education ad infinitum. All being corralled towards what they produce and market.
A real captuive audience.
No It means we the people must band together once more, rewrite the Declaration of Independence, and write the Articles of Treason Act.
Now if martial law is enacted, you must realize what that will mean for peoples rights, it all goes down the toilet.

Finally took to my advice on shields. What they need to do is make a wall with shields and to have staffs/ unsharpened spears. This will make a nearly impenetrable defense, and won't seriously injure police officers. Also, mobile protesters armed with NON spiked clubs on motorcycles, scooters, and bikes would allow for flanking.
If only I were in command. We would be sitting on the White House lawn.

The fact that people take the time to star this comment shows that this site is slowly swirling down a goddamn toilet drain.
Thanks for contributing to it, goofball.
P.S- That's still a hell of a cool avatar. The Pope creeps me out.

OWS and it's supporters love to spout off that there is no leadership. Which basically means ANYTHING goes. Now if a small vocal minority within the group deems it necessary to become violent who's to stop them from within?
Will OWS be held accountable?
After all, it would be carried out in their name.

"We tired of illegal wars blah blah blah" and will throw everything including the kitchen sink to justify their precious little cause saying they need to use VIOLENCE!

I hear ya. Maybe the remedy is just like the mid-east terrorists (again not supporting, just a good comparison in my mind) --- and that is to have a whole chain of command, that is hidden, so if one leader goes down, another pops up in another city, and on and on and on.

A cheap shot and you know it, Marine. We can cherry pick our OWS photos all day, but there is defining difference between the two parties, socialism and communism, and you are willingly ignoring it.

My point is that socialism is not some political ideology; it is policy to revive and maintain a country afflicted with extreme socio-economic disparity.
In many cases socialism leads to equal suffering of the entire population living under it. By created widespread dependency coupled with government profligacy on these programs and you wind up with MORE economic disparity across the nation. Greece is a VERY good recent example of this. Same with France and Italy, same with Spain. They are all socialist basket cases.
You mean like Venezuela? Where Chavez is constantly trying to usurp supra-constitutional powers? It seems a common theme for South American socialists to do such things.
