London Style Riots Planned for New York.?

It has been revealed that a coalition of organizations, are planning a coordinated "Day of Rage" in major cities across the USA. With an incendiary name like that, people are envisioning London style anarchy.

The main target of this event is New York City, with protests planned to spread across the nation. Ground zero will be Wall Street and it's symbol, capitalism. Seems the aim of this "protest" will be to disrupt Wall street, AKA: Heartbeat of the financial activity of the nation....The planned date for this event is September 17.

I just checked the calendar and this date happens to fall on a Saturday. Uh, hate to break this to you, but Wall Street is closed on the weekends. But why worry about minor details!

Maybe the intent is for a long term "happening" as advertisers are telling participants to "bring their own tents" and plan on having an old fashioned sort of "tent city" in downtown Manhattan. This sounds interesting, I wonder if "smore's" will be on the menu, cooked over what sort of campfire?

"Day of Rage" is a borrowed term from the original event planners,1960's domestic terrorists Bernadine Dohrn & Bill Ayers. Close advisers/friends of President Obama over the years, Bill and Bernadine have not yet replied to their RSPV's to this modern version of their event.

Some of the organizers behind this are the SEIU and elements of ACORN. Other than to disrupt capitalism/Wall street, US Day of Rage website is not specific about the purpose of the "Day" other than calling for "integrity" to be "restored to our elections."...Uh I thought ACORN had already taken care of that? They also accuse corporations of using "money to act as the voices of millions, while individual citizens, the legitimate voters, are silenced and demoralized by the farce." Of course they don't say that they themselves are corporations.

They are advising participants on ways to best practice "civil disobedience", how to resist police arrest and disrupt court hearings.

However this turns out, lets hope it is peaceful. This is America where it is the right of every American citizen to peacefully assemble and protest. But it is not the right of a few to shut down the nations financial system to make their point and New York City, unlike London will not stand idly by if anarchy starts to rule the streets....Especially just a few days after the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.

Please Lad! "Browbeat poor charlie"...This crook has been in office 40 years doing his mischief and talking his way out of it. You are gullible to think that whatever he displays is not staged.

Funny Lad, I saw that same interview and saw an interviewer try to get a straight answer out of a greazy politician who tried to denigrate her. She outwitted him, which is something rare for Congrssman Rangel, who should be in prison rather than still be in congress.

Mman I watched Ingraham bully (as she does)Rangle refusing to allow him to answer her questions. Ingraham,Hannity,O'Reilly are well schooled in the art of denigrating and bullying their interviewees.This style of interviewing is a "structural" modus operandi of the fox channel which is a part of the discredited murdoch media empire empire

Lad your use of colorful inflammatory language to attempt a point, of course, does not make your premise true, but it does SOUND plausible. After all that is the most important thing....that it sounds believable. I listened to Charlie rangel yesterday, a master of saying nothing and ignoring the elephant in the living room=him. In congress 40 yrs. as crookd as a dogs hind leg, will lv. office horizontally I am sure, his corrupt voter base will never turn him out.

It will be their last hurrah. This demostration hurt more then help. Remember the demostration a few years back for Amnesty. The protester carried Mexican Flags in Washington DC. Did they get Amnesty? NO. These things are media events, but do not influence voters. Flash Riots will help the tea party in 2012.

Another urban legend that fits the right wings's pre-occupation with being the victim of plots and attacks - remember their "War on Christmas"

LOL Scrivner, yes NYC should have extra med personnel on stand by in case the geriatric days of ragers show up.

Bill Ayers and Bernadorhn (as she was known back in the day) coming out for a Day of Rage? Be sure to have a gurney and defribulator handy, they're 40 years older now. Also they are both busy poisoning young minds, he at Univ of Chicago and she at Northwestern Univ. I'm sure that they won't want to miss the faculty parties that weekend.

I think they intentionally planned this demonstration on a Saturday, since the construction workers won't be in full force at the nearby "Ground Zero" (aka The Former World Trade Center)site. If they were, I don't think the police would be needed, except to protect the Dohrn-Ayers inspired anarchists who are fomenting this "protest," even though it's partially sponsored by another union, SEIU.

If this is for real, I hope they are as smart and skillful as the protestors in Egypt were and keep it peaceful. I am not sure if the London riots were supposed to carry a message to the government there or not but if there was one, it was lost with the first Molotov Cocktail thrown. Gandi and King proved that peaceful disobedience can change nations but it is impossible for voters to identify with looters and thugs. The instigators of the London riots are facing a long 4 years behind bars. Had they been older and wiser, they might have learned from history that it is impossible to control a mob once it is released. Just like shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, the freedom of speech does not apply when the obvious end of your rhetoric will be violence.
