Former Newsviner gets lit up by Right-Wing Watch

Violent American police state actions against OWS bring visions of Kent State

  A disheartening but not unsurprising development surrounding the Occupy movement has been the emergence of people who support the kind of brutality and excessive force against innocents that is the signature of a police state.

After ordering unprovoked and violent NYPD raid against OWS, Bloomberg now ignoring lawful court order to allow protestors back inside Zuccotti Park.

Not more than a few weeks ago, I openly wondered how long it would be until the unprovoked police violence against Americans protesting income inequality and unrestrained law breaking by political and financial elites would turn into deaths.

It was expected and simply understood that most of the country's elites (politicians, professional media, corporate barons, official party machines, and whoever was in the White House regardless of party, etc) would side with Bank of America, Citi, AIG, and the ghosts Lehman Bro …
