One cold hard fact. Bank Transfer Day and the Dump BOA sub-movements were spawned by OWS. In the end BOA dropped its $5 debit card fee, and global banks lost an estimated 700,000 accounts. That's a cause and effect in my book, and real change.

I hope these "occupations" will remain peaceful. Let's not be like other countries, hurting one another in the streets. Keep it rational. Can't we "rise above"?

Just a quick thought thrown into the internet wind. It seems many ATSers are calling for violence to change things. Are we willing to kill people in order to spread money around? Is the goal worth the cost? Or is there another goal that is less discussed, almost hidden?
I dunno, if it was organised, the people outnumber the police 100-1, even more. And I know for a fact that i'd rather die shooting a pig in the face than letting one beat me to death. And at the end of the day, these will be the options. The police are making damn sure of that. But the filth don't know the difference between right and wrong, so this doesn't supprise me.

Probably not the best plan.
Having seen the OWS crew, they'd last about 4 minutes in an armed conflict with the citizenry of oh, say, any Texas town. Probably less in the mountains of West Virginia, Colorado, Wyoming etc.
The rest of the country ain't L.A. Meaning: we'll shoot back.

Guys I havent heard anything on the news about the OWS or on the online media? It just seems that after thanksgiving they stopped reporting on them? This seems highly unsual...did they do that to cover up something more sinister?
