@eyestepback I agree with just about everything you said, the only thing is they have created a virtual wall for themselves and they think that it is the wall. Also to your newer comment, they WERE popular, but they can't grow again, they have prevented themselves by doing so by the way they functioned to handle situations.

@Evenwas616 the violence give the media a good way to cover up the people who have a legitimat reason to protest. the wide spectrum of people allows a large possibility of bias reporting and if you look on the news you mostly hear from the stupid ass people who don't know anything, but never the informed concerned american. Hate to say it but this is just the beginning because things will continue to get worse until the exponential growth and pyramid system is changed.

@Evenwas616 but the fact that its happening and the extremely wide variety of people attending protests shows that we have a message and they don't want to hear it. Part of the problem is these people don't know anything about why they're protesting and that could be because of the intentional desire to keep the american populace ignorant to what is actually going on. Its coming back to bite them in the ass but at the same time is giving them a reason to dismiss what they are saying...

@Evenwas616 I agree with you mostly but this is the one instance throughout america where it is getting violent. The fact that people do protest peacfully and get aggressed by the police shows that they don't want to listen just defend against it. This got violent yes but it is also a more poor area with violent people. violence is shown to come out in times of poverty. Like if you back a dog up into a corner he's going to get aggressive. Same idea. I don't agree with the violence necessarily..

@eyestepback Will get creamed by the police, their use of communication is that one site, it could just get shut down so that it will be Anarchy for the protestors and overpower them anyway, even though the police could perform it many different ways in which the protest loses.

@eyestepback Since people in the movement are believing that and some of the other people's intentions are different, they hit a blockade that if they are peaceful, they must run peacefully (they still haven't anyway but they call it peaceful) and the people that wanted it to be violent cause problems to the protest because they can claim they are part of the protest, if it goes the other way, if they go violent, then the people that don't want it violent will leave and the remaining few...

@eyestepback Some people in the movement blame it currently on the weather for the reason why there weren't as many protestors in which again is wrong because most people weren't devoted to it or switched back, some people left from weather but the cold climate is gone now and this is all there is left, the protest doesn't have an army to fight for them and they are growing less popular buy the day. The other problem is that there are people that still say the protest is peaceful.

@eyestepback I could go on quotes for a while but i don't want to go too long on it, the protest could have been peaceful the whole time but decided that one of their main goals happened to break laws, they could have avoided it, but they decided not to, when the movement began there were a lot of people, as it progressed, people weren't entirely devoted to it or switched sides when they started getting stupid, they had the Unions for a moment, but then they blocked the ports, losing the Unions.

@eyestepback War isn't for profit, War is Profit.

@Evenwas616 we fight in wars for profit not anything for the people or the people we're invading. especially not for peace. The Iranian people don't want us there and havn't. And yet people in america are convinced that we are doing good in those countries because our news casters say so. That and to protect us against terrorism. they're just cover ups. War is for profit. Vietnam and wwII as well."Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable" - JFK
The world is watching, I hope they stay strong.
