re: #130 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

So is it your view that OWS protests are inherently violent or inevitably end as such?

Not all the protests are violent but I do think there is an inherent violence that comes from the combination of peaceful hippies and violent anarchists. Much has been nade of the Kent State-type moment. Wingnuts have talked about it but the lefties are also guilty. They want an iconic image of police brutality are are perfectly willing to manufacture or incite it. The old lady was tear gassed because she was standing near black clock anarchists who were the targets. Then there was the guy who kept trying to stuff himself under a police scooter pretending to be run over. The protesters want a Kent State moment just as much, if not more, than anyone else.
