Zucotti Park is surrounded by cops, I mean literally surrounded by platoons of cops 24/7 so any extra-legal "raids" by gun-totin' militia aren't gonna get very far before police intervene.

They also have one of those creepy portable gun tower things from Homeland Security across the street:

(unless that's been moved, I haven't been to the park in almost 2 weeks.)

I'm not sure I'd want to be up in that thing if it got hairy. Looks kinda shaky. lol

[-] 1 points by thebeastchasingitstail (1912) 13 years ago

lol, right? I thought so too. I think it has cameras in it and is unmanned most of the time.

Yeah, the John Birch Society too, man this is like the French Revolution, it could get nasty. Course, these youngsters are idealists, but there are some wiser among them, perhaps older. Could be the Canadians will join our side. It's going to be a free-for-all at some point if there is no real organization or deep understanding.

[-] 0 points by Thrasymaque (-2138) 13 years ago

You think Canadians will join your side? The brains behind OWS are a bunch of French Canadians, some are the admins on this very forum. I'm a French Canadian. I know.

Here's the thing. This is a world-wide phenomenon. younger people, some savvy tech people (for communication) and the strength and power and creativity of our ideas. Course, it is going to go on for a while. A Collapse of the financial system could trigger really serious problems. It is nice to have some system of communication as long as it lasts. At some point, govt. will shut it down as something threatening to the Power Structure, depends on how exactly it is used. The courts would have to support this type of free speech as long as it does not advocate serious attempts at rebellion, meaning violence. So got to watch for provocateurs who can manipulate crowds or segments of crowds to do stuff. There clearly are some anarchist groups out there. For me, it is good to know that. This movement is attracting a lot of different sorts of people. We are united about one thing. Justice. Pure & Simple. We can spell out what that means: Unfairness.

"We are united about one thing. Justice. Pure & Simple. We can spell out what that means: Unfairness."

Justice means unfairness?

[-] 1 points by Sanchez (76) 13 years ago

The Call for Justice is because of Unfairness, or inequities within the system. Many people have already detailed some of these obvious inequities of our social and economic or financial structures here many times. I am sure you are aware of that. All Americans understand the word Unfairness (better than Injustice which has revolutionary overtones). Unfairness implies the need for Reforms. We are not in a time for revolution, in fact a rather long way from that. Certainly isn't in consciousness except amongst the young who are naive and idealistic. (I dig it since I was once too and we need that push).

You heard wrong. It's the Nets that are returning to New York. They'll be playing in Brooklyn.

Cool... They're really coming? Maybe we could salute them on arrival using a good old fashioned militia salute!,

[-] 1 points by Teacher (469) 13 years ago

Why wouldn't the militia support us? Enemy of my enemy and all that

SPJ- you might want to rethink that whole "support" thing.

"Rivalry (Moore, OK) 0 points 46 minutes ago

OWS did not ask for our presence. We are not there for them. We will be coming from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, California, Oregon, Washington Idaho, Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri and Michigan.

Black Bloc wants to play big boy games, we'll see how they like playing with men. Many of which are ex special ops."

"Rivalry (Moore, OK) -1 points 1 hour ago

They are targeting Black Bloc. They are not coming to help OWS other than clear the anarchist scum. And yes, it's credible."

[-] 1 points by SirPoeticJustice (628) from New York, NY 13 years ago

Dude, who is going to stop all the white collar crime if the cops are busy deling with OWS??? That is a BIG concern. Shit, I didn't think about that until now... That is a big issue.

[-] 0 points by IChowderDown (110) from Dallas, TX 13 years ago

They hired 100,000 plus people at the Pentagon in the last 3-4 years. Maybe they can do something

[-] 1 points by SirPoeticJustice (628) from New York, NY 13 years ago

Why are they obsessed with black bloc???

[-] 1 points by sudoname (1001) from Berkeley, CA 13 years ago

Because Black Bloc tactics are violent. They are intended to cause chaos. And the militia will not stand for lawless stupidity. If OWS will not force them out, and the police's hands are tied, then real life American Patriots WILL step forward to defend the innocent and their property.

Do you get that? This isn't a school yard scuffle between the bullies and the nerds. This is real life. Real lawlessness. And it carries REAL consequences whether OWS wants to believe that or not.

OWS has the right to demonstrate all they want to. They can march and carry signs and camp out for as long as their little hearts wish to. BUT neither OWS nor black bloc has the right to destroy property, goad the police relentlessly, bring tension and chaos to society or pose a threat (real or imaginary) to innocent citizens and/or their property.

"Qui tacet consentit" (silence implies consent) OWS total silence on the Oakland riot could be taken to mean that OWS agrees with Black Bloc. Even if they don't, since OWS refuses to take a stand against these people, then someone else will.

[-] 1 points by sudoname (1001) from Berkeley, CA 13 years ago

Maybe the protesters should just disperse from the black bloc people and try not to get involved with them.

[-] 2 points by SirPoeticJustice (628) from New York, NY 13 years ago

what force can stop a river of people who know their course???

Anyway it is bleeding obvious the black bloc are government plants to make the movement lose credibility.

[-] 1 points by sudoname (1001) from Berkeley, CA 13 years ago

I think someone had a picture of a cop dressed as a protester. I'm not sure what happened of that.

[-] 1 points by SirPoeticJustice (628) from New York, NY 13 years ago

I am honestly worried this will turn to civil war. What about all the white collar lawlessness. I am concerned this is going to escalate.

[-] 0 points by justhefacts (1275) 13 years ago

Well there you go. We've been trying to tell you that for weeks. And no one at OWS has been bothered to listen-or cares to because civil war is what they're going for.

If the black blocs are government plants, the militia will discover that during their removal won't they? And if they aren't, we'll know that too.

What force can stop a river of people who know their course? Lead + velocity.

[-] 1 points by SirPoeticJustice (628) from New York, NY 13 years ago

I finally see your point. Start passing out vests.

That was a funny video, thanks for the laughs. Americans really are gun ho. The overly dramatic music sounded as if it had been ripped right out of World of Warcraft.

Don't worry they are well regulated, being necessary to the security of a free State.

That said, given your nick and your post, as a guy-type guy I'm not taking any chances and I'm just gonna back away nice and slow.

The city can clear out a few hippies , particularly the pussy types in NYC, with just the cops.

[-] 1 points by SirPoeticJustice (628) from New York, NY 13 years ago

I would like to see them try to clear the hippies out of the park!!!

The cops would be in for a rude awakening.

They would have to use a swat team and that would be a blood bath.

To be honest, I don't think NYC cops get paid enough.

They know it's easy to kick pussy hippy ass once they are given free rein

I wish that were true but I know different. I saw one kid with a sonic pulse emitter.

[-] 1 points by thebeastchasingitstail (1912) 13 years ago

The NYPD is very well armed. And very well staffed. Since we are considered a prime target for terrorism, there is Homeland Security level attention to this protest and any big event.

Yes, the police could totally wipe out this protest and bust major ass if they chose to.

I'm not a cheerleader for that, it's just a fact.

[-] 1 points by SirPoeticJustice (628) from New York, NY 13 years ago

Do you know what a sonic pulse emitter can do??? Think tear gas times 1000.

I am considering going upstate for the weekend.
