Day of Poseurs
The US Day of Rage protest on Wall Street has been largely nonviolent so far, so organizers now appear to be trying to use political theatrics to recruit more activists to their anti-capitalist cause.
They are falsely accusing the New York City Police Department of using violent tactics against them.
The mass demonstration that began September 17 is still in progress. It comes months after ACORN founder Wade Rathke proclaimed an “anti-banking jihad” and SEIU schemer Stephen Lerner vowed to “bring down the stock market” through a campaign of disruption.
According to reports, about 5,000 people showed up initially, well under the 20,000 organizers had expected. Although organizers must be disappointed by the low turnout, they appear to be trying to salvage the event by baiting and taunting police. These radicals know that videos showing angry demonstrators confronting law enforcement are helpful in recruiting new activists.
Snip
Many of the activists in lower Manhattan said they were demonstrating against the impending execution of convicted cop-killer Troy Davis in Georgia. In Washington, D.C., about 200 people led by Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin gathered outside a Columbia Heights shopping center on the evening of September 20 to protest the Davis death sentence. After Davis was sent to his maker the next day, around 500 people protested outside the White House.
Are left wing protests ever coherent?
