Ukrainians have gone to their most important offices with pitchforks and hoes to oust a regime that has screwed them !
They did not just sit outside and scream , but rather took it into their own hands !
To occupy means to do just that, !
So many say ; peaceable occupy ; while the real thing is to take back !
The only way to take back and occupy is by forcible means !
Is this a war to take back or is this a pacifist means of saying we are what you really want ?
This is what you really want means nothing to most if there is no action !
So far, peaceable interactions have resulted in media discounts and the populous wondering !
History has shown that ; even wrong as it may have been ; force was the answer !
Look at what is going on around the world now !
I , as all , don't want war, but I think that fantasy has past and we are at war !!!
Stop asking , and do the actions that need to be taken !!!
P.S. I'm sorry if I seem to be too pronounced , but all I see is talk here in the U.S. and action in the rest of the world !
CBS reports this evening that in Congress a bill to ban insider trading by members of Congress or their staff now has 138 co-signers.
This is evidence that we are making a difference - not that this movement, in and of itself made this happen - we did not. But with public anger, our movement, a 60 Minutes report focusing on this one issue - with all of these things coming together, a difference is being made.
Violence at this time is not necessary.
The Occupy Movement cannot advocate violence.
Wisdom does not take a knife to a gunfight. I suggest you learn just how powerful non-violent protest can be when 99% of the people of a nation use its tactics. Here is information from the world's expert Gene Sharp. The nations of the Arab Spring know his work well.

Is this yet another call for violence from an OWS protester?
no ows protesters , know that the system is deathly afraid of non violence- they want us to become violent- that they can control.
