Here is a good example. These Occupiers are trespassing on this land and they have formed a ring. The officers have asked them to get off the land or be arrested. Then the officers come in and literally have to tug the protesters apart. Now, think about this. These officers do not know if someone is going to pull a knife or a pistol out on them . It is a scary moment for all involved, but why does it have to be this way...so they can have their youtube moment and say the police purposely beat them up when in reality the police had to tug them apart in order to arrest them.

Police officers are generally good people. These protesters are well trained and know how to push the officer's buttons to make them go into action. If you were these officers and had to arrest these people for trespassing, you would have to get physical. They give you no choice. You would have to grab them, pull them off each other and all this time they are resisting. How could the situation not get violent?

So these are not peaceful protests. They are designed to antagonize the police.

When you have no point, no ideas and are just pissed off at the world, what's left but to act like this? OWS has no structure, no leader, no manifesto and know only what they don't like. They just lash out.

I'll give credit to some of those who started the movement, but they were naive. Without a clear message or mandate, OWS has managed to attract the dregs of society. Their ranks have been infiltratrated by anarchists, radicals, drug addicts and anti-semites. They are now a pitiful mass of humanity. A shame really. I don't like a lot of what is going on in America, but this is not the approach.

Its the approach to failure. I'm angry at your ignorance. Try this.

Too bad you are uninformed. That is the problem with OWS.

Corzine/MF Global ripped off customer funds. II

CNBC broadcasters reported that the CME Group is searching for $600,000,000 that vanished from customer segregated accounts that no one except Corzine had the power to rip off unless Corzine specifically involved other people. CNBC broadcasters actually believe that the $600,000,000 might be hiding someplace and might magically reappear from its hiding place. Also CNBC reported that the Obama appointed commissioner of the CFTC, Gary Gensler recused himself after he spoke with Corzine from his own job.

This will be the same as the NYC Judge and DA who protected Strauss-Kahn from a trial for raping the black hotel maid. They are going to protect ex NJ governor, ex US Senator, ex Goldman Sachs colleague Corzine from being arrested for his crime. If OWS sitting in the park near Wall Street (as if being blocks away from Wall Street gives them some knowledge) had any idea of why they are protesting, they would be screaming about the Corzine $600,000,000 crime and his privileged status by the FBI.

America has become a nation of dolts in a trance. The most powerful American leaders and their shills reporting on TV are ignorant crooks. Go back and read prior SCREWED AGAIN reporting about the CFTC and CME Group as it concerns the PIMCO fraud. The OWS protest actually believe that sitting and freezing on the ground in the park will magically force a happy ending for the misery of 50,000,000 Americans whose work is now being done by Chinese slaves. The 50,000,000 Americans have been told by the privileged to go back to school and learn a new occupation so they can return to the middle class life they had enjoyed.
