(62,325 posts)I have to say that one of the most important achievements of OWS has been the revelations of exactly where people stand politically. I am proud to be a huge supporter due mainly to the list of credible people, Democrats mostly of course, Republicans would never support a Social Justice movment, like John Lewis, Alan Grayson among others, and so proud of the elected Democratic officials who were mistreated by the NYPD. Proud of the lawsuits now being filed relating to those crimes, and of the so far, multiple victories in court by OWS, now joined by journalists and others who were also brutally abused by 'Bloomberg's Army'.
But aside from all that, interesting and revealing though it has been, OWS is stronger and bigger and growing, globally, by the day, joining and joined by Social Justice movements everywhere and the very fact that it is so feared and despised by some, simply proves its huge success.
How do you feel about brutally beating protesters nearly to death in this country? Regardless of their politics? How do you feel about Wall St. corruption btw? About the lack of prosecutions so far?
