Another "peacefull" protest? The moment they block anyone or anything they are not using 1st amendment rights anymore. Maybe they just want another photo-op of being arrested.

During WW2, people took over western ports and threw every japanese product into the ocean.

China is stealing jobs with the help of US corporations. Then those corporations use that money they make from slave labor in China to buy US politicians to cut their taxes and send even more jobs to China...

Maybe protesters should kick it up a notch and take over western ports and every container from China be dumped into the sea? Boston Tea Party, 2011 style.

Well that would be even less 1st amendment and more towards "gonna get arrested". Wouldn't be very smart.

Can't wait to see a union worker beat some protester ass. Not all of them are for this.

Humanity never stops surprising me. Wow people. Oh noes! Our entire future, including our IMMEDIATE one, is being decided by evil people with no morals, and you absolutely rise against some people trying to speak out against it! Congrats! Everything does get a rise out of people! Oh, except anyone trying to speak out against the Status Quo. Then they should shut up?

You're all doomed. Even if it takes another three months, the current global monetary debt based system is out of control, and set to create a biblical style cataclysm upon everyone.

So yeah, bitch about the protesters. Yeah, don't worry about the true ills. Go write a sold out congressman, write an angry opinion letter to your bought out local paper, and bitch to your neighbors about how it's everyone else's fault! Go you go!

Don't break any laws! Wait until they change the laws flat out. Then what?

What if it was the law to report to a death camp. Would you?

It won't be long until all these individuals will be seen as domestic terrorrist,just like the LSX protestors in London.

Police include Occupy movement on ‘terror’ list

Source

“Intelligence suggests that urban explorers are holding a discussion at the Sun Street squat. This may lead to an increase in urban exploration activity at abandoned or high profile sites in the capital.” The Occupy movement is listed alongside threats posed by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC), Al Qaeda and Belarusian terrorists.

This is going to be quite a day probably even historical. I think come 12/12 we will either see the corporate elite and our government begin to understand that the people will fight back in significant ways and work on some compromise or we will see just how much the corporate elite has our government under control by ordering the lethal force of Law Enforcement. I hope it is the former and not the latter.

Apparently, Occupy did not clear this move with the Longshoremen's union


apparently the anarchy loving Occupy movement didn’t clear all of this with the heads of the unions theey are supposed to be in solidarity with. A Portland Trubune article headlined Unions: We don’t support Occupy port shutdown and subtitled Longshoremen say they will not participate in planned Dec. 12 West Coast protest appears to lay out a case for conflict between Occupy and the ILWU.

“We support the goals of the Occupy protesters but we are not supportive or participating in the shutdown of the West Coast ports,” says Jeff Smith, president of the International Longshoreman and Warehouse Union Local 8. The union represents workers who load and unload ships at the port, and also move freight in and out of it.

And the same article later quotes ILWU Local 8 president Smith saying succinctly…

“This is a third-party strike. We have to go to work,” says Smith.



t seems that the #Occupy movement forgot that the Union likes doing things the way it likes doing things. The Tribune article quotes a statement from ILWU President Robert McEllarth saying…

“Only ILWU members or their elected representatives can authorize job actions on behalf of the union, and any decisions made by groups outside of the union’s democratic process do not hold water, regardless of the intent.”

Should be interesting. If Occupy clashes with the longshoremen.... Oooof! Occupy will lose!!
