    Good luck, those Police are pretty big people. The protesters, not so much(except the Marines).

    It looks like Occupy America is even in small towns such as Occupy Tucson. Sadly Occupy Tucson is shit, and the only party backing it is the Greens. The Greens in Tucson are basically socialists (at least what Americans would call socialist) for all intensive purposes.

    Occupation has failed to occupy pretty much everything. In fact, I didn't know an occupation was going on before I read it on their website.

    Only fox news loves the teaparty, look up teaparty on MSNBC or wait for Olberman to do a segment on them and feel the hate wash over you. A station's political agenda is going to affect it's journalism no matter how "objective" it wants to be.

    I'm starting to think people are 'occupying' everywhere, even in this small town I used to live at one of my friends on facebook who lives there is part of the movement to occupy an tiny and irrelevant city, Imma smellin' a Rebellion.

    Unlike the Americans, these people are a lot more clear in their message, and they're presenting it in a much more powerful (as opposed to just disruptive) way. If I'm in the area, I might check it out. The Israeli political system is fucked up beyond belief, far worse than the US, so I could get behind this cause, especially since it doesn't have the "fight the power" air that the Occupy Wall Street movement does.

    I've always considered the riot police in America to be frightening with their extra built body armor and batons, but flash grenades is going too far.

    What the fuck was going on in that video? Was that tear gas illuminated by the lights? Or was their a fire somewhere?
    Also, what the hell were the protesters throwing? Couldn't have been gas, but it looked somewhat like it.
