If we block them or make another attack on their person, they can see that as a threat. Just to be clear. peaceful assembly does not equal forceful occupation. We are forcefully occupying. And that means, when we break the law, we can get hurt. Be prepared to get hurt when you act outside the law. Be prepared to get hurt when you accost another person in their car. This is the reality. When we take the rights of someone else, they might have the right to take them back.
I'm not going to be part of escalation, and hope that wherever you are occupying, even if you are occupying in spirit, you don't let it happen either.
Actually, I think you may have a point. We are forcefully occupying the public's spaces and creating loss of pay by closing down ports. How is this going to educate 100% of the 99% and get them to join in? They are asleep and we are doing nothing more then creating irritation and anger within them. What is the real purpose for camping out 24 hours a day? Why can't there just be assemblies and a lot of protests and then everyone go home on a daily basis? Why aren't we taking to the streets handing out informational sheets informing people of what is going on in our financial and government bodies?
This should be a lesson for all of those in the movement, a teachable moment if you will. Cars are big metallic objects that, according to physics, can theoretically turn people into puddles of gore at high speeds and knock down people still at low speeds. It is advisable to not be in a car's way.
Need help making a t-shirt. We need to draw a picture of Zooccotti Park with a cage around it. Here are some ideas: Draw a hippie climbing the cage like a monkey and throwing shit.
Draw a hippie rolling in mud and shit like a pig.
Draw a hippies fucking like dogs.
Draw a picture of a hippie eating peanuts like a big fucking elephant. Draw a hippie as a lazy fucking Ape doing nothing.
