OccupyHouston - Topic: Now this is not going to work http://occupyhouston.org/forum/general-discussion/now-this-is-not-going-to-work/ Simple:Press Version 4.5.1 John on Now this is not going to work http://occupyhouston.org/forum/general-discussion/now-this-is-not-going-to-work/#p3373 General Discussion http://occupyhouston.org/forum/general-discussion/now-this-is-not-going-to-work/#p3373 That's a concern, James. But although Occupy can't control who supports the movement–or even who wants to march alongside it–it can control who *it* supports.

There very unions are part if not a large part of out problems in this country. Are they noy aligned with the current President. Do they give Millions to mainly the Democrat  party. But the alignment with other groups will mean they will take over everything the group stands for. Whe the President of a major labor union comes on stage to speek before Obama and say that "we are your army".That we should "Take the son of a biches out". If people march along side other groups you are accepting there vision of America as you own and all there actions will now be your problem.

The movement knows there will be protesters that do not contain themselves. If they can not manage their group and the individuals wisely, then they should not be doing it. When someone YELLS "This is a PEACEFUL PROTEST" or anything else with anger, they are confusing a child, because the child knows yelling like that is not at all peaceful. AND that is downright scary, no matter what their parent tells them. In addition, children can sense when their parent is scared. Protesting in this situation was bad enough, but crowding in on the children like that is horrific.

You would think adults would know that angry yelling is not peaceful….and this is one of the problems I have with this so called peaceful movement. I am not going to defend everything they do. In fact, right now, I am just patiently waiting to see if they can do anything more than go around and yell, scream, use aggressive close body language, and try to intimidate others in doing what they want.

This is NOT an example of a peaceful protest. On the contrast, this is a perfect example of UGLY, SCARY AND MEAN. And that makes me want to simply walk away.

If the leaders are going to shirk their responsibility of not containing their group, that is not admirable. If someone organizes an event that gets out of hand, that is not admirable and NOT EXCUSABLE. The  'blame game' by those that lead or initiate is not acceptable in my social circles. If you can't PEACEFULLY protest, then don't pretend it is something it is not. The label 'PEACEFUL' does not make it so; the ACTIONS  or BEHAVIOR of the movement determine whether or not it is actually peaceful. The 99% are not that stupid.
