| It doesn't matter if you agree with these protests or not, You have to think something is fundamentally wrong with shooting a veteran Marine in the head with a rubber bullet and then firing tear gas at the people who try to help them. |

| Should I be? Should the police go and check whether each protester is a veteran before trying to suppress violent riots? |

I find it hard to believe a marine is protesting the government he fought for.
Let me paraphrase a few comments I have seen on news sites:
"Any soldiers who protests the government he served should be ashamed and stripped of his/her medals" |

He realized that America is not a democracy, it is a Plutocracy, and he got angry. So he protested. |

If you understood Occupy, you would realize that one of the fundamental things is to remain peaceful. The man who was accused of throwing a bottle at Occupy Oakland spoke up on the internet to say that he was innocent, and I believe him. Occupy protesters have even reported violent protesters to the police before. |

The rich own most of the US' money, and they are constantly foreclosing on American homes. |

| We all have the right to protest our government. No one is denying that. But these protests have gotten out of hand. |

Do you know why banks foreclose?
Its because bums who think the enlivenment owes them everything do not pay their bills.
Guess what? When you buy a house, the banks GIVE you money, and you pay them back over the years. Guess what happens when YOU dont pay? THEY lose money, and they give you extended time, but after a while they foreclose, because they need to make SOME money off of the massive loan they gave you.
Banks are a business. Businesses don't like losing money. |

I already addressed that. Occupy DISCOURAGES violence. Just because one stupid MAY have thrown something, A crapton of tear gas and rubber bullets isn't justified, especially when someone was shot in the head with a rubber bullet and is in a coma. |

Stopped reading here. They cannot AFFORD to pay their bills because they went to college and are now in debt by several thousands of dollars. Some people work 2 jobs but can barely scrape by, even after going through college. |

And on the same site another link can be found wondering why there has been no justice for Scott Olsen yet. Just because one fragment of Occupy is run by morons doesn't mean the whole thing is. |

Statistics or it didn't happen. And either way, even if only 30% was protesting, We are still the common man, But in that case only 30% has woken up |

I think the other 70% of the country is content with fair Capitalism.
I don't think anyone but the protesters are content with a socialist state bound to become a failed state in less than 3 decades. |
