THANK YOU for that, "the rising". I AM surprised indeed, if not shocked!

It seems that in barely over a month, OWS has begun to CHANGE THE DISCOURSE even in the MSM!!!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah is right. Now we just need:

  • this Iraq War veteran to fully recover from his horrible injuries
  • to remain non-violent and active
  • to hope that the police at the behest of the 1% don't attack any more non-violent protesters
  • to remember that we can't prevent provocaateurs from entering marches and protests but we can choose our reaction when they attempt to incite violence (sit down, point at them and say calmly and clearly "We are non violent. This person is not with our group.". That way the nightly news clip is of this lone provocateur failing in his effort.

I AGREE with you 100%. And I do hope and pray that you, "therising", have the ear of OWS organizers. If not, you SHOULD! Your clear thinking and wisdom are NEEDED at this critical stage.

Just watching cnbc TV news. It seems there may be policy changes in Oakland PD's handling of the protests,
