Forum Post: How can we force a confrontation so we can get some decent footage of us getting the crap beat out of us?

We just looked like assholes at the DC thing. I think the best bet is New York. Nobody really gives a shit about Oakland or Boston or Houston or any of that flyover shit, it has to be the Big Apple, preferably on Wall Street.

Wouldn't it be perfect if some NYSE trader was caught on vid wailing on Ketchup or one of those defenseless looking other female bodied white kids?

Forcing confrontation damages your credibility and only makes you look like a bunch of angry people. Civilized people are non-confrontational. You don't protest to start fights.

This post is the very reason the occupy movement is doomed.

Any attempts at such stagecraft will serve to destroy credibility.

If the movement continues to evolve, hunger strikes have proven to focus media attention and get results via non-violence. And it's a sad irony that so many already can't afford proper nutrition.

Note that foreverleft is intentionally antagonizing you.

You can do a basic "context check" for any poster via Google. Just hit up Google and type in:

site:occupywallst.org "foreverleft"

(Or put someone else's username in the quotes)

If you want anarchy - you will lose the support of the people who will make this movement successful.
