Anyone advocating for Black Bloc techniques at Occupy, a word of advice:

[FarLeftFist]

STOP!

To the rest of the Occupy movements, keep your eyes on the prize and the cause in your hearts. You will change the world.

Black Bloc is the polar opposite of Occupy protests. Stay on message. Keep winning hearts and minds.

1. Say NO to right-wing militants!

[Drew Richards]

2. I have a different suggestion for them.

GO Fuck Yourselves! You are hurting the movement.

Or maybe that is your intention.

[Voice for Peace]

4. I have no doubt that's the intention.

[avaistheone1]

10. I think so too.

[PETRUS]

3. What you said - eyes on the prize. nt

[Starry Messenger]

5. k&r

6. The black bloc are agent provocateurs

The black bloc are agent provocateurs, and have been exposed as such on numerous occasions, in Canada there was even one case where the prime minister had to apologize in parliament for police being dressed as anarchists threatening riot police with rocks during a peaceful union protest.

8. Gotta say it over and over and over again, no matter how well documented it is

[kestrel91316]

7. OWS is PEACEFUL civil disobedience. PERIOD. Violence is

not part of OWS and the violent people need to be pointed out, shamed, and SHUNNED.

Time for our inner Amish to come out.

9. k&r n/t

11. Exactly, and back far away from anyone who's trying to start trouble

Back as far away as you can. Isolate them completely, right out in the open, and film the whole thing if you can.

So far, OWS has been amazingly disciplined. I was terribly impressed when they didn't follow that right wing putz into the Air & Space Museum.

Eventually, there might be a time for things to turn violent. It's not here yet. Far from it.

My guess is that they're not Black Bloc guys. They're right wing pricks from some university conservative "student" club.
