The Boston and Atlanta OWS protests got hit late tonight.\u00a0 How handy for it all to go down at midnight while the rest of the nation is asleep.\u00a0 All the better to keep it off of live TV my dear.<\/font><\/p>\n

I watched Boston go down on a live stream.\u00a0 It started with a link on Reddit to a twitter entry.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

There are a lot of veterans involved with the OWS movement.\u00a0 Which is kinda funny considering how the Republicans are aggressively trashing anyone involved with OWS.\u00a0 I guess we know how they REALLY feel about our troops after all.<\/font><\/p>\n

I’m sure they’ll be jumping with joy over the news that they got a beat-down at the hands of the riot police last night.<\/font><\/p>\n

So then I found another link to the live feed.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

By the time everyone was cleared out, anything left behind in the chaos was being tossed into trash trucks, never to be seen again.<\/font><\/p>\n

For a recapped timeline of how it went down and who got beat, check this out<\/a>.

Imagine how many cameras, phones, laptops, and textbooks got lost.\u00a0 That type of stuff isn’t easily replaced by 99%’ers.\u00a0 I guess the best way to shut down poor people is to hit them in their pocketbooks.\u00a0 It’s worked so far.<\/font><\/p>\n

The sad thing is, the protesters in Boston had their protest O.K’ed<\/a>.\u00a0 This should have never happened.
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

So far tonight, I’ve seen they’ve shut down protests in Boston, St. Louis, and Atlanta.\u00a0 I’ve seen mention of a possible raid in San Francisco tonight.\u00a0 As I write this, they’re trying to figure out if they’re actually going to raid the park in Seattle.<\/font><\/p>\n

I’ve seen a lot of these show up on live feeds tonight.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

Something tells me, the more they shut these protests down, the more new protesters will be joining the cause.<\/font><\/p>\n

Every corporate shill this side of the pond is frothing mad at the OWS movement.\u00a0 But for every one of them, it’s looking like there are more than a handful of OWS supporters.\u00a0 Even Fox News is shaking in it’s boots over this.<\/font><\/p>\n

It’s clear now that OWS isn’t going to be another town hall meeting that can be shouted into submission.\u00a0 The 99% will not go lightly into that good night.
