Well, we always knew the Empire was going to strike back

[villager]

Hardly matters if the Sith lords are wearing their "Republican" suits or their "Democratic" ones.

If tonight's the night, what happens next?

[Amonester]

1. What happens next: the occupations will continue.

That's what happens next.

[leveymg]

3. The occupations will move iinside, and the arrests will increase.

[Lionessa]

12. You think so? How do they remain if the police forcibly remove them.

Do you honestly think average, scared of the cops or being arrested or hurt NYers are going to come out from front of their TV screens to aid and support the OWS crowd.

I mean we can hope, but ... we did that in 2008 and look where we are.

[Amonester]

14. I honestly think we all live in a very different 'eRa' than we were in 08.

They will remain, or return after being released.

What more will they have to lose? Not much.

What less will they hope to win? A much better future?

[Lionessa]

16. You're right, but unfortunately until

those that have something left to lose start being active in these protests, nothing will happen, will it? So they're just a bunch of poor, nothing-left-to-lose losers, huh?

I really hope you didn't mean your post the way I'm interpreting it.

[Amonester]

17. You're right, I didn't mean it that way.

This is 2011, the Arab Spring was nowhere to be seen in 2008.

That's more what I was thinking about.

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. Yes, any violence and conniving on their part only strengthens the movement!

[Amonester]

4. Yep. Already at the "Then they fight you" stage.

The "Then they laugh at you" stage has been quite "short" hasn't it? :hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. However, I do not condone the use of Ewoks in this standoff.

[villager]

6. I, however, openly advocate the use of Wookies.

7. I suggest a new strategy, Bloomberg. Let the Wookie win.

[lbrtbell]

8. Light sabers up their asses would be appropriate

:patriot:

[flamingdem]

9. rec. dang I made a bet with someone that Bloomberg wouldn't do it

I can't see him risking looking that bad. We'll soon see.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Some rich don't care how they look, they only care about control and themselves.

[Lionessa]

11. Exactly! I had an idea but no one likes it. So let's figure something even better.

[yodermon]

13. Listen to Professor Xavier:
