All you rightward thinking types couldn't get over yourselves laughing and calling them names even supporting the cops whom beat them up.

I never thought they were protesting the govt. at all.
They were protesting Wall Street and "income inequality".
I'm talking about citizens standing up against the federal govt.
I did think the Occupy movement was interesting...at first. And then they started turning it into a circus. (I guess that probably happens no matter what).
Do I think that "Occupy" was on the same level as the college students at Kent State back in 1970? Hell no.
The federal govt. has become the biggest thing in the world. It's bigger than Wall Street. It's bigger than all the big corporations put together.
And as we learn something new seemingly every week (now the NSA and the "heartbleed" virus)...it's pretty apparent that the feds are pulling shady shit constantly.
Think about it a second...our federal govt. is spying on us, torturing people around the world, holding people prisoner with no trial for YEARS, killing people in other sovereign nations with drones...and that's just the stuff we know about!
If you changed "USA" to "Soviet Union during the 1970's" it would read the exact same way.
