"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

While perhaps violating some NYC ordinances (which is up to NYC to deal with), and conveying a message many disagree with, OWS appears to be simply exercising their 1st Amendment Right. Nothing deserving of "...getting rowdy with the M’er F’ers" at this time, IMHO.

Ahh. I see the problem now...

I failed to make clear that I was not talking about getting rowdy at the freak-show. That would be pointless. fun... but ultimately pointless.

To regain our freedom we are going to have to remove ourselves from the death grip that the socialists have on us. ALL OF THEM... The obvious ones in DC and almost every level of government, the weak minded masses that vote them into office and the freaks who are on display in NYC.

You, and many other clueless seem to have an elastic grasp of the word "peaceably," or tend to ignore it altogether.

To me, that word demands neither interfering with non-participants, nor with others exercising the same right with an opposing voice.

Violence has many shapes and degrees. Intimidation is not a right.
