The Occupy Movement Was The Response To Inequality. Look How Brutally It Was Put Down.

19. "Homeland Security Kept Tabs on Occupy Wall Street"

It’s never a good thing to see a government agency talk in secret about the need to “control protestors” – especially when that agency is charged with protecting the homeland against terrorists, not nonviolent demonstrators exercising their First Amendment rights to peaceable dissent.

What’s more, there have been reports that Homeland Security played an active role in coordinating the nationwide crackdown on the Occupy movement last November – putting the federal government in the position of targeting its own citizens in the name of national security. There is not much of a bureaucratic leap, if history is any guide, between a seemingly benign call for "continuous situational awareness" and the onset of a covert and illegal campaign of domestic surveillance.

Treated like terrorists?
Absolutely.

Hunted like terrorists?
Probably. It is not THAT much of a stretch.

The best way to "hunt" terrorists is with surveillance.
It is easily believable that anyone Homeland Security identified as being involved with the organizational aspects of OWS has a current file that is being added to daily with NSA surveillance of digital communications.

I would call that "being hunted like a terrorist."
