- Go to OCCUPY PROTESTS PLAGUED BY REPORTS OF SEX ATTACKS, VIOLENT CRIME
It is amazing to me Justi, how many media outlets do not report such things, or show the swastikas painted on buildings, or the hatred openly expressed towards the Jewish faith. They also fail to report on what many of the occupy movement openly want and that is to destroy capitalism.

Protesters need to do something constructive like street cleaning or....
be banned and sent home from whichever area they are in, at any given time.

Re: Re: *Terrorism*....Does this worry you too?
I agree, Justi, no erasure. Another worry is how the legislative branch can turn such a deaf ear to the suffering of the people and instead focus heavily on defeating this president, no matter what.
My point about the differences between the criminal activity in some of the Occupy movements is that the majority of the Occupy folks are progressives and liberals - political stripes known to shun violence - anti war protesters, etc. - in comparison, this militia and similar others across the country (I'm not saying all of them) have an avowed and clear agenda to start a civil war, striving to overthrow a democratically elected government through acts of terrorism.
The Occupy movement's agenda is economic justice and true democracy, to remove the corporate and endless monied influences out of elections, to return to the 99 per cent of the citizenry a voice and a more level working and standard of living field in their own country.
I am concerned about the things going on at these movements too. If I were in NYC right now I doubt I would feel safe "occupying." The people doing those things should be arrested and/or stay away. But murder and barbarism are not the goals of Occupy.
Thank you for the opportunity to express my view here.

Re: *Terrorism*....Does this worry you too?
Yes this does bother me, just as the fact that a doctor American born Muslim shot 31 and killed several of the men stationed with him in the military.
Yes it bothers me as does the fact that both Holder and the director of homeland security as well as top officials set up gun give aways to drug cartel that is to a forign country, in an area where many of our own citizens have been killed.
It also bothers me the way our top officials snub their noses at Israel.
There is a lot to worry me. One does not erase the other. I do not see how my objection to the filth in the park has an association to the case you mention. They are totally different issues, by totally different factions and for totally different reasons. If you are in need of more debate we can discuss each of these and a multitude of others.

*Terrorism*....Does this worry you too?
"Four suspected members of a Georgia militia charged with plotting attacks with toxins and explosives against government officials pleaded not guilty at a hearing Wednesday, as prosecutors said for the first time that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was one of the officials they talked of targeting.
Assistant U.S. attorney Robert McBurney said the men took concrete steps toward carrying out the plot, including casing federal buildings in Atlanta, trying to buy explosives, attempting to make the toxin ricin and amassing the weapons cache.
The four allegedly boasted of a "bucket list" of government officials who needed to be "taken out"; talked about scattering ricin from a plane or a car speeding down a highway past major U.S. cities; and scouted IRS and ATF offices, with one man saying, "We'd have to blow the whole building like Timothy McVeigh," a reference to the man executed for bombing a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995."

It is because there is no real cause...just a hotchpotch that could grow
across our societies into real civil unrest....real war. So much to worry about that I sit here instead sending love and hugs to my friends and give thanks for my day.

They do not have a cause. They have a purpose and that is to get sex, drugs & money from some who have a political cause. The political cause is to get the present president reelected. That is a sad commentary on our country. Be blessed and reject all not sanctioned by the Lord, this is not.

I just read where a woman died of an drug overdose! I think this cause is not unified in what they want to accomplish and their behavior supports my thought!
