Re: Occupy Retailers!
I'm sure the rich will be boycotting such retailers as Gucci, Neiman Marcus and Dolce Gabbana, who will, no doubt have record sales this year.

That will get them arrested for sure.Some demonstrators are planning to occupy retailers on Black Friday to protest "the business that are in the pockets of Wall Street."
Organizers are encouraging consumers to either occupy or boycott retailers that are publicly traded, according to the Stop Black Friday website.
The goal of the movement is to impact the profits of major corporations this holiday season.
Arrested?
Murdered by insane Black Friday shoppers more likely. Once shoppers figure out the protesters are there to purposely disrupt things, the fun will start.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

You've never been at Walmart for Black Friday before
Line cutters are likely to be well, cut with a knife. Don't underestimate people there for something virtually free (door busters) with lazy hippies that want something for free.

Not very bright. One of the Black Bloc kiddie "anarchists" probably came up with that as a good way to punish Mommy and Daddy for not getting them that Power Ranger when they were six.Coito ergo sum wrote:http://www.cnbc.com/id/45402815

If the protesters are hippies, then I agree. Are they? If so, not sure what's worse fat lazy shoppers or fucking hippies.Tyrannical wrote:Don't underestimate people there for something virtually free (door busters) with lazy hippies that want something for free.

Seems to me the protesters could get the public on their side if they got dressed up like Santa and elves, sang carols, opened a Grotto with Santa asking the kids what they want but saying he can't provide it because he had to let all his elves go because of Goldman Sachs.
They could even go the full pig and do what King Mob did.
