Occupy Wall Street: The Movement Grows

The disconnect comes from thinking that 80% of OWS protesters means 80% of everyone.

The reality is, the OWS protest movement itself is very small. Probably smaller now than it was on its first day when the public was not sickened and disgusted by them.
The average approval rating for congress over the last two weeks is around 12%.

If you're choosing to side with Wall Street and the 1% over a level economic playing field, you will be very disappointed this time next year.

There is no connection between congress and the OWS movement. To you, the less popular congress is, the more popular OWS is. That's not true.
 
They still doing that ?

The Ocupoo morons are planning to shit on the Rose parade.

Occupy The Rose Parade (Mon, Jan 2, 2012)

Should they do so, I expect they will be publicly beaten by the 99% who aren't going to put up with their shit.

According to the local news, the protesters weren't given a permit to assemble in violation of the parade's permit and right to assemble. The protesters have been given permission to follow the parade after the parade has completely passed. They will be in competition with people trying to get out of there.
 
Nothing is going to happen at the Rose Parade except that the cameras will pack up as television shifts programming to football and people will be leaving.

What I wonder is, after the parade, the floats are put on display. I can see OWS trying to destroy the floats because so many of them have corporate sponsorship. Then there might be a problem.

Of greater danger of some sort of conflict is in Iowa where OWS plans on disrupting the vote and groups of citizens are planning to disrupt THEM.

So they were given a permit to assemble, just not at the same time as another event. That is not a violation at all. It sounds like good safety management as traffic and other concerns needed to be addressed.

No they weren't given a permit at all. They are being allowed to follow the parade without a permit. It was a compromise. The orignal OWS plan was to rush the floats along the parade route doing as much damage as they could and to scare the horses into the crowd. So they are being allowed to follow the parade if they behave themselves.

This is silliness. There is no one to agree to any compromise. There is no leadership. There will still be those who choose to exercise their freedom as protesters by rushing the floats or horses. The only thing to stop that would be the fact of being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people intent on stopping them. The same way OWS was stopped from disrupting black friday. They saw those shoppers trampling one another and knew they had no chance.
 
So the anarchists wish to commit violence again. Why would they be issued a permit to do that?
 
Ask the Gracchis:

"When the Gracchi brothers and their followers tried to reform the credit laws in 133 BC, the dominant Senatorial class acted with violence, killing them and inaugurating a century of Social War, resolved by the ascension of Augustus as emperor in 29 BC...

"Among Rome’s leading historians, Livy, Plutarch and Diodorus blamed the fall of the Republic on creditor intransigence in waging the century-long Social War marked by political murder from 133 to 29 BC.

"Populist leaders sought to gain a following by advocating debt cancellations (e.g., the Catiline conspiracy in 63-62 BC). They were killed. By the second century AD about a quarter of the population was reduced to bondage. By the fifth century Rome’s economy collapsed, stripped of money.

"Subsistence life reverted to the countryside."

Creditors and debtors...which side are you choosing?
