"Tear gas, sound cannons, concussion grenades?" Heard some reports about using beanbag bullets, too. Seems like a police riot.

I think the whole OWS scene all over the country is making THE MAN very nervous! I'm sure they assumed it would be dead by now, instead of picking up steam! If you haven't done it yet, don't forget Bank Transfer Day, November 5th! en.wikipedia.org The ONLY place you can kick these guys where they'll FEEL it is in the profits!

Wharfy and I saw all of that in the 60's. I was gassed many times for protesting the Vietnam war. I was in many marches in San Francisco. I was in the national guard at the time (to get out of the war) and at san Jose State and got into so much trouble protesting the war they tried to send me to Vietnam. I had already made up my mind I would not fight that war and was ready to go to Canada if need be. But congressman Baldwin got me out of the guard on a medical. This may be another repeat of the 60's. If congress will not fight the robber barrons we will need to make them. As FDR said: "make me do it". Guess that is what we are doing.
