Appears definitely so. Some promoting violence of the worse kind. Hope as some of these people so put it, they never need a pig ever to protect them.

The TP didn't need VIOLENCE and THREATS to effect change, did they? Two words - 2010 election.

The OWS scum NEED violence, drama and manufactured incidents that bring media attention because their "message" is NOT resonating with Americans, especially their tactics.

The tents were the problem, which you'd know if you read the report.

That cop should be in the hospital. You don't just drive a vehicle THROUGH people like that without any regard for their well-being.

Let me tell you something though. I'm a big supporter of police. For instance, a few months ago I was gassing up. There was this rather large homeless guy harassing people for money as they walked into the store to pay. Yes, he was definitely trying to intimidate people, because he didn't say a word to me.

So this cop shows up. The PO was maybe 5' 6" tall and a buck-40 soaking wet. I mean I've got a LEG as big has this guy.

I kept an eye on them while I was filling up my truck, to make sure the PO was safe. Then when I finished filling up I leaned against my tailgate with my arms folded, watching. As soon as backup arrived, I waved, he waved back, and I left. That's how much I support police.

Those turds in Denver? They deserve whatever the crowd does to them.

Yes, in this instance I promote physical violence. "The State" believes itself to have a monopoly upon the use of violence. The OWS protest will not accomplish their agenda if they show that they are unwilling to use violence to achieve their ends.

And what exactly will they accomplish by getting violent with local law enforcement ? Not like the cops are going to pay off their loans and give them jobs.

EVERY incident of violence was started by the protesters. Every single one.

You don't need a permit to enter a park, but participating in an organized protest involving hundreds of people is a large-scale event and it requires some degree of security detail.

I criticized the tea party movement for what it was, and I'm criticizing this symphony of idiocy for what it is, too. I sympathize with the protesters' anger at Wall St. -- frequent critic of these institutions in fact. But most of these morons who attend these events don't have the first idea about what the problems are, let alone how to solve them.

To quote a very famous line from a very famous but not altogether well done movie "They drew first blood".

The crowd should've creamed'em.
