BBC: Occupy Wall Street: Grievances without violence

[KurtNYC]

There is something endearing about a protester who camps out on Wall Street carrying a sign that reads "I love humanity, let's figure this s**t out together".

It's hard to imagine, for example, the hooded youths of the London riots pausing between rock throwing and shop-looting to utter poetic affection for their fellow human beings.
...
It took Americans a long time to jump on the European protest wagon and now they've finally done so, it's with exemplary order and calm. Given how rough the American economy is, that's quite surprising.

Interesting comparisons to UK and Europe. Makes us seem almost Canadian in our civility. And nice to hear some comparisons and analysis on OWS that doesn't reference the Tea Party.

1. But Mayor Bloomberg wants to insert a little burr in the saddles

of the protestors just to see if he can elicit a little violence.

He is an idiot.

2. Beyond that:

>>>He is an idiot.>>>

3. She DOES reference the Tea Party

"That other political protest movement of recent times, the Tea Party, might get fired up by their deeply held convictions, but they certainly don't riot."
