As were seeing now with the NYC/Chicago/Oakland CA protests its turning into Riots etc.

Not so here in Indianapolis so far since our protest began only 1 arrest back in October.
Do you think this peace will contiune until the movement dies out?
Curious to see your opinion
Also http://www.wthr.com/story/16070532/o...eep-small-camp points out to how the Occupy Indy protestors will remove the big bulky tents and just keep sleeping bags etc without incident.
But also this interesting article could explain this somewhat. http://www.wthr.com/story/16068578/o...shes-elsewhere

No these are the same protests just different people.
same idea however ya its pathetic that somehow NYC will turn into riots but yet were a major city and we don't have the turnout.
I have a hunch its due to wall street being located in NYC people are getting jealous.

Do you even read to at least half of the things you type? Do you even read the original posts because it seems as though common sense things just completely escape you.

This movement won't likely "die out" If anything it'll be taken over by "special interest groups" like the Tea Party. The only reason the protest are bigger in New York is 1. new york is 10x bigger than indy will ever be 2. New York is the cultural capital of the entire country, not just the state, unlike indy.

I find if funny how freebird just generalizes Millions of individuals with many different hardships, and many different opinions as "socialist" It must be a defense mechanism when all you watch is Fox News, I guess it's just easier to blame all of societies problems on the poor and working class.

before you go bashing the Tea Party just be aware they have been protesting for what 3 years now. Looked it up and no arrest/no disturbing the peace citations or fines and if they caused damages they paid for it themselves and didn't rely on ACORN like groups to do it.
OWS can't say that.

Which is why I am glad the crap is over there in NYC and not here. Riots divide a city and achieve nothing more than destruction. Let's come after the companies so we can shut them completely down and lay off more people...brilliant!
