There will be blood.

There will be a martyr for OWS...NYPD seesm to be working toward this goal sooner rather than later.

Then what?

1. I feel more positive than you do. Things will happen but basically
all will be okay.

2. I hope not. There is no "leader" so its hard for them to take down a leader to stop the movement.
They are not even sure how to stop the movement. Smartest thing that was done.. No leaders. Look at what happened when they took out JFK, RFK, and MLK.. it helped to put a hold on the people's power.

3. There would be a huge outcry against the NYPD. They're of course hoping #OWS would be violent
but they've been very good about that. People can see through NYPD's dirty tricks. I mean, they're really making an issue out of how much they disapprove of Anthony Bologna's actions, aren't they?

4. Actually, I believe the first martyr was the young man in Tunisia that
had his cart taken away... He doused himself in gas, and lit himself on fire. No hope, no future and his only expression was a fiery demise... And it awakened the beginning of the idea that things aren't fair and their needs to be justice and fairness in this modern world.

16. Yes, he certainly fueled a movement.
Sad that for most of us, he remains nameless.

9. Then we Mourn and go back to OWS
Look how much the Syrians have suffered without breaking ranks. We should strive to do as well.
