It was only a matter of time before the Wall Street protesters turn violent. The leftist protesters always do resort to violence whether they’re protesting the G8 or the World Bank they always resort to violence while giving lip service to peace.
Gubenyasha who posted the video titled it This is What a Police State Looks Like, however, it appears to me that the protesters surrounded NYPD’s finest and they had no choice but to defend themselves. You be the judge…

“Paging governor Rhodes. Paging Ohio governor James Rhodes...”
When idiots have no valid argument or explanation for their actions, violence is their only alternative. Read Ann Coutlers’s “Demonic”. She explains mob violence very cleaarly.
Both Sean Hannity and Michael Medved attempted to interview these idiots on the radio today. Happily, Sean far outstripped the “intellectual” Medved in getting to the point and revealing these kids’ stupidity. The well-educated Medved kept plodding along trying to “understand them.”
A difference in talent in radio and the virtual lack of importance in education and, maybe, I.Q. points.
The obama-hoffa commie uprisings of 2010.
There is a huge difference between the Middle Class gathring for patriotic purposes, and brainwashed mobs trying to stir up trouble.
Puts a whole new meaning to the term “flash mob” (ie all of the cameras).
do you have a link for Hannity. I can’t stomach Medved anymore....
Medved is radio tapioca.
A snippet from WIKI re “lumpen proletariat” that is most informative:
“The influential nineteenth century anarchist activist and theorist Mikhail Bakunin had a view almost opposite of Marx’s on the revolutionary potential of the lumpenproletariat vs. the proletariat[3] Bakunin, according to Nicholas Thoburn, “considers workers’ integration in capital as destructive of more primary revolutionary forces. For Bakunin, the revolutionary archetype is found in a peasant milieu (which is presented as having longstanding insurrectionary traditions, as well as a communist archetype in its current social form – the peasant commune) and amongst educated unemployed youth, assorted marginals from all classes, brigands, robbers, the impoverished masses, and those on the margins of society who have escaped, been excluded from, or not yet subsumed in the discipline of emerging industrial work ... in short, all those whom Marx sought to include in the category of the lumpenproletariat.”[4]
However in some societies, individual members of this class of people without formal employment have, on occasion, taken the lead in issuing a progressive challenge to society. One example is Abahlali baseMjondolo in the KwaZulu region of contemporary South Africa[citation needed].
The Young Lords, once a Latino street gang, believed that revolutionary change would become a reality only via a coalition between workers and the lumpenproletariat[citation needed].
In the late 1960s, Huey P. Newton and the Black Panther Party came to believe that the lumpenproletariat could have a progressive role. Newton argued that the economic and social system of his time was fundamentally different from that which Marx based his analysis on, saying, “As the ruling circle continue to build their technocracy, more and more of the proletariat will become unemployable, become lumpen, until they have become the popular class, the revolutionary class.”[5] This is the class the Black Panther Party sought to organize, he said. Some disregard Newton’s interpretation, saying he applied the term to, and sought to organize, the temporarily unemployed, rather than the true lumpen. However, a careful reading of his writings reveals repeated references to the “unemployed” and “unemployable” as those with revolutionary potential.
Frantz Fanon also argued in The Wretched of the Earth (1961) that revolutionary movements in colonized countries could not exclude the lumpenproletariat, as it constitutes both a counterrevolutionary and a revolutionary potential. He described the lumpenproletariat as “one of the most spontaneous and the most radically revolutionary forces of a colonized people.” However, it is an ignorant and desperate class, particularly susceptible to being co-opted by counterrevolutionary forces. Therefore, he claimed, education of the dispossessed masses should be central to revolutionary strategy[citation needed].
The Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) included the participation of Calcutta’s criminal elements in the early 1970s. The Party saw this segment of Calcutta, largely consisting of people from marginalized upbringings, as capable of revolutionary violence. Members of this social stratum would then ideally reform themselves and become conventional revolutionaries, leaving behind anti-social activities.”
Please note in particular the paragraph:
“The Young Lords, once a Latino street gang, believed that revolutionary change would become a reality only via a coalition between workers and the lumpenproletariat.”
Then note how the unions (SEIU and others) have now joined with the lumpen proletariat on the front lines of these protests in New York and other cities. It’s all part of the revolutionary master plan to overthrow our way of life, with the professional troublemakers and organizers (like a certain community organizer we now know of as our Prez)instigating the useful idiots to achieve their revolutionary ends. Insidious.
Is Todd Kinsey one of the anarchists?
Medved IS an idiot. All I can say is that it was in the middle of Sean’s radio show - around 3:30 - 4:30 est. It was on WABC, 770am. Sorry I can’t be more specific.
I’m shocked...really... (sarc)
Green: Police Purple: Unclear Blue: Protestors Light blue: Police Barricade Yellow: Seemingly clear path Still, video is too short to really know what happened, they were obviously behaving justly if they'd been physically attacked just before the video. Saying they were merely "surrounded" seems quite false to me though.
