OCCUPY WALL STREET

i think that it would be so easy for me to get angry.....and to feel justified in that anger...and then i remember that we're all on the same side.
we're burning two ends of the same candle.

...and we have to stop.

Like a thief in the middle of the night. Sad for the OWS.

What really pisses me off is that they are taking all the protestor's things and throwing them away. All these things that have been donated to OWS and things bought with donated money, all destroyed without notice. And this is private property, not public property. So this is illegal. Shame shame.

Flash Bombs!! Those evil motherfuckers!!!

Well, history has taught has that might is right and force is necessary for order.

Right?

greeneyedgrrl · 11-15-2011, 01:25 AM

yes it sucks that their things are being destroyed, but i'm more concerned about what is happening to the people, their bodies, minds and spirits. i'm praying for the safety of all.

i hear the protestors get increasingly violent in their speech... and i know it's difficult not to, i'm not confident i'd do better and i know that this is not going to help their situation or relations with the police.

So the goal is to take personal belongings and with no care whatsoever for what they grab, heap onto to add to the 25000 tons of trash NYC already produces a day.

So now that they've shown protestors how democracy doesn't work, the movement goes underground and becomes more unpredictable, more subversive and more volatile.

This makes me even more frustrated with myself that my agoraphobia keeps me from being in the streets protesting. I am so angry. This is so illegal and the NYPD is a TOOL. They told the protestors they had 10 minutes to get their stuff out of the park. When they tried to get their belongings, the cops pushed them out. The cops told them they could come back later and get their stuff, but now all their things are in a dumpster, and being loaded into trucks to go to the dump. Bullshit.

SoNotHer · 11-15-2011, 01:43 AM

Yeah, they told them they could get their stuff back and then heaved it into a pile like books to a pyre as garbage trucks backed up. Some of the police were laughing at them.

Yeah, this is what democracy looks like.

Per the police scanner the cops are following the people to city hall.
