I Don't Think OWS Is A Harbinger of Violence

The Big Lie - The Daily Beast: "But it won’t just end with taxes. When the great day comes, Wall Street will pray for another Pecora, because compared with the rough beast now beginning to strain at the leash, Pecora will look like Phil Gramm. Humiliation and ridicule, even financial penalties, will be the least of the Street’s tribulations. There will be prosecutions and show trials. There will be violence, mark my words. Houses burnt, property defaced. I just hope that this time the mob targets the right people in Wall Street and in Washington. (How does a right-thinking Christian go about asking Santa for Mitch McConnell’s head under the Christmas tree?) There will be kleptocrats who threaten to take themselves elsewhere if their demands on jurisdictions and tax breaks aren’t met, and I say let ’em go!"

What seems to me the wave tends more to incremental demands that both educate the 99 and force visible changes. I do think that a rigged election of 2012 paid for by the Koch brothers and validated by the Supreme Court woould produce a violent reaction. And that OWS would be well advised to flag the most likely source of violence - criminal and official suppression efforts designed to discredit the movement.
