(62,325 posts)it or your sources, as I have pointed out before, are extremely bad sources. This comment is false.
OWS was harassed from the minute they went out to protest in NYC.
In fact, thankfully, it was the vicious reaction to them by the corrupt NYPD that sky-rocketed them to national attention.
The abuses of peaceful people protesting shocked people across the country in the VERY FIRST FEW DAYS.
Their initial goal was to spend, at the most, TWO weeks in Zuccotti Sq rather than just one day of protests.
Instead, thanks to the attacks on them that occurred IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS, causing people across the country to, at first, consider coming to NY, instead started their own Occupations. Thank YOU NYPD.
And just as soon as others started their protests, they two were attacked. Then it spread across the globe, and the same thing happened. It was hard to know which country you were looking at with the Robo Cops all looking the same and acting the same.
OWS exceeded its goals thanks to the vicious, brutal attempt to squash them.
And it started on the FIRST DAY. Because just FYI, they had been very open about their plans and the cops were ready and waiting.
At least stick to the facts. You can oppose this Social Justice movement if you like, but you can't do with false statements, someone is going to correct them.
