When will that happen (because you know it will)?

2. Yes, you're right, but I meant enough violence for wall-to-wall teevee coverage.
I was thinking bombs and such. They're certainly not above doing that.

4. I doubt it would be televised...
gotta keep that narrative pristine. Ugly reality wouldn't play well.

5. Yeah, but if they spin it as if the protesters were the ones instigating the violence,

6. Well there is some size at which they can not control it, they will not let it go that far.
What they've done so far is just petty harassment compared to the Police State that will come down on the protesters if it looks like its going to grow.

7. "poverty is the worst form of violence" -Gandhi
I guess Wall Street was hip to the Bush doctrine LOOOOONG ago... Their "preemptive war" started when?

10. As soon as they can find a way to make it look like the protesters do something violent
They'll plant some thugs who will do something violent and then they'll be justified in retaliating. Then maybe they'll call in the National Guard.

12. They can shut down cell service. That will do it.
Take out most of the citizen media and panic people.
