AFL-CIO Tells “Occupy” Protesters To Get Violent Like Arab Spring, Pledges Lawyers, “Resources.” Considering the previous post it reminds us of the words to a Warren Zevon song – Send lawyers, guns and money,The shit has hit the fan (or as the case may be, the cop car).

I would love to see the end result of all of the "Wall Street sucks & should die" movement we are seeing be those banks move their banking operations out of NYC & take their taxmoney with them. Vegas might be the place to go, no income tax, the stock market is gambling anyway, so it could become a 1 stop shop thing, with better weather, & no Bloomberg.
Bloomberg has already foreseen that possiblitilty and is ragging on the protestors about th epossibility of wall street and banking moving, as well as the protests trashing tourism. Their economy would tank.
I guess these protestors don't realize that the AFL-CIO has more money than GOD. And takes the money from their members. Isn't that what they are complaining corporations do? Not to mention their ongoing support of said corproations by use of their products!
Or they will just abandon them like the US usually does to its helpers who create "change."
So, any damages caused by these protestors...seems to me the bills for repair should be immediately sent to the AFL-CIO for payment. Nuff said.
Any damages done to anything of mine will be paid with a broken face.
Won't happen. Look at how they occupied Madison for months - spent millions of dollars in public services, clean up, police, etc. And the taxpayers of Wisconsin are paying. Unions operate with no repercussions for their words or actions. And then the union members wonder why they are so unpopular in Wisconsin.
Can we shoot back??
I would, in a heartbeat. God bless America and the great state of New Mexico, where we can carry a pistol legally, and use it to protect ourselves without fear of reprecussions.
I've noticed their hasn't been a lot of protests there, all mostly in the liberal bastions in the "give me free shit" states. Me thinks you guys are on to something.
There was one protest in Austin, Texas. But then Austin has never really been Texas. Its Austin.
Let em get violent. I react to anything brought to me triple, won't mind bashing some heads if they start it.
Well,you know the Tea party is a bunch of rich,racist thugs
funded by the Koch brothers.(sarc)
ummm. not sure I heard the 'violent' part there ...
He sstated that peaceful protest ws not going to get them what they wanted. He also stated the portest were modeled after ArabSprng, which has involve very violent protests. I think that was what the headline was stating.
I'm embarassed that my union, I.U.O.E., is a part of the AFL/CIO.
What happened to all the lefties clamoring to bring back the sedition laws? Guess that only applied to the peaceful, reasonable, rational protests of the Tea Parties.
