"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover," (Democratic Governor of North Carolina) Perdue said. She later added, "You want people who don't worry about the next election."

most of the comments i read against the occupations invoke Unimpeachable Private Property despite a) half the time it's not even private property, like in Boston and b) without the slightest grasp of irony that the fact that major public parks have been privatized and are thus unacceptable protest locations is part of the problem

bev perdue has good reason for wanting to suspend elections, considering she's going to get stomped in her next one

unexpected little data point though:

A survey by Time magazine found that 54% of Americans have a favourable impression of the protests, with 23% reporting a negative impression.

that's surprising

theres sorta this weird implicit thought that liberals seem to have that violence is just bubbling right under the surface in OWS or any other protest and they gotta keep repeating the mantra no violence no violence no violence its a little creepy and revolting tbh

or have you not noticed that every disaffected leftist on this and associated forums has either advocated violence or mocked the protestors for not engaging in violence

of course, just the internet. but the sentiment and resentment is real

The rain, cold, and Bloomberg's "cleaning" seem to have done the job. But if they haven't, I encourage protesters to engage in violence so that public opinion will quickly support aggressive police measures.

uhhhhhhh the way people engage with their own inner drives is mediated by what they believe 'outsiders' perceive them as and desire them to do. so this suppression of 'disaffected leftist violence' is a suppression of their own violent reaction to their situation and place. if it wasnt, they wouldnt focus so much of their anxiety on 'nonviolence'

Occupy Wall Street Cleanup: Russell Simmons Offers To Pay To Avoid Violence

it'll be funny if the mayor is wise enough to take him up on the offer and the protests continue until cold weather hits and people have to disperse around the same time worldwide property bubbles burst and their financial support for heating and thangs collapses (although maybe it may take longer for those property bubbles)
