Chris Hedges: The Crime of Peaceful Protest

[sabrina 1]

29. Did you think this was the first OWS member to run for office? He is not fyi. Of course it is

interesting now to see more focus on those who are entering that phase of the movement. But he is NOT the first. Nadin, eg, reported on this over a year ago airc, but most Occupy supporters and members stopped writing and discussing the movement here on DU. Shamefully, this forum is no longer a place to discuss these important and exciting issues. There are far better places for that, most people involved in this Social Justice movement, Hedges eg, among many other well known Americans, are busy DOING things and are not interested in wasting time, as I am now doing, even talking to people who oppose Social Justice movements such as this one. That may be why those here who always opposed it, are unaware of all that has been going for the past couple of years.

Until the issues that created the need for this now Global movement are resolved, the movement will continue to grow, but not on forums like this. The social media has been very useful for the continuation of the growth of the movement, definitely not here which is a shame, but that is the way it is.
