OWS has given me hope that our country might be pulled into a new awakening. I have checked the news and this site multiple times everyday, eager to see these changes happen.
There are rumors and whispers and articles everywhere that Occupy camps are going to be disbanded very, very soon.
I appreciate nonviolence. But if you aren't going to FIGHT you aren't going to STAY. Do you really expect a bunch of armed men to stand down because you chanted at them?
If you won't fight, you can save face by leaving now. Surely there must be another way to protest that is just as effective. Boycotts? Petitions? Letters? I would love for the Occupiers to succeed, but pacifism won't keep you in the parks next week.

Yes, get violent people! Arm yourselves!
We are committed to a peaceful demonstration. It is our right. If they will evict us by force, then truly America as a nation is no longer a democracy.
your peaceful demonstration is infringing on others rights and also poses a health risk for the area.
They can just become nomadic and move around.
