A day that is expected to be filled with anti-establishment protests all around the globe began early last night with a roving band of "anarchists" smashing car windows and store fronts in San Francisco's Mission District. The mini-riot (which was technically on April 30, but still) may have started as a "ruckus street party" organized by Occupy Oakland protesters who invaded their sister city last night, but whoever was responsible appeared to show little regard for the property of either the 1% or the other 99.
The fact that OWS has partnered, not only with unions but MoveOn.org, indicates that, yes, they have been co-opted and are being purposefully driven to commit acts of "civil disobedience" - i.e., destroying the property of those who are "the 99-per-centers". No matter how peaceful they insist that they are, the ones hiding behind them with the weapons hidden in their signs and the incendiary devices in their clothing - even planning to harm the police departments' horses to take down the cops - are anarchists and violent lawbreakers who will use the 'peaceful protests' as springboards for their viciousness. Don't believe it? Watch. You're liable to see citizens arming themselves just like the Koreans did in the Rodney King riots, and shooting all comers.
But, of course, this is exactly what the unions and MoveOn want to happen. The Occupiers are about to find out the real cost of partnering with felons. They are lying down with dogs - and if they rise up at all, it will be with the fleas of purposeful destruction, murder, and violence attached to them - and the rage of the people whom they claim they represent, whose jobs and possessions they disrupt or destroy, fully aligned against them.
Fools.
