The "security forces" seem to be justifying future violent confrontations -- this is like the lead up to the Kent State Massacre with probably the same result -- a repeat of history ...
Only 40% are in support of OWS now but after police violence occurs OWS popularity will only increase -- everyone loses will be the end result of this. Chances of any reconciliatory gestures from the government are very slight. |
OWS could help themselves immensely if they had some kind of a untied vision and statement. If they had a spokesperson that could say, "this is what we stand for and this is the change we want." I think more people would be behind them.
Right now they are just a collective of everyone who is pissed off about something so it is hard for many to grasp what they want. Anger is good, but to effect actual change you need a message and organization.
