Given the massive amount of OWS grassroot organizing, why not switch to flash mobs?
   
Rather than hunkering down into what is ostensbily trench warfare, why not switch to guerilla war tactics?

Anyone remember the video of people standing up in the mall at Christmastime and breaking out into the Alleuia chorus? Within hours that video went viral. Would not short well orchestrated flash mobs be effective in conveying to the powers that be that the 99% are not going away and are demanding change?

It seems to me that the camps have lit a fire, they not only have brought people together but they have also forced the powers that be to show their hand, to admit their riled. Given these successes why not save psyhic energy and decamp then come back with a different tactic?

Mole......

I think the OWS people are enjoying this too much, they are going to turn on Obama soon. He isn't moving fast enough for them.

Hitler's brown-shirts thought they were useful too. They had no idea how expendable they were.

After watching Beck this evening, I'm afraid for Obama's life. He pointed out some things that make me feel like Obama is in over his head. I'm not talking about his ability to be president, I'm talking about the associations he has with marxist type people. People who will turn on you in a heart beat.

And it would be blamed on conservatives and start race riots and a near civil war in this country.  Hm, that seems to be something the left has always agitated for.

I think tomorrow, Thursday November 17th Day of Action!, is going to be the downfall of the occupy movement.  They will do stupid shit that will result in multiple arrests, tasings, pepper spray, misc police uses of force, and lots of fun video for the normal people to enjoy.

Flash mob? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Admit it Dummies... OWS is dead in the water. In NYC, the locals are really upset with you. I imagine it is that way all over. You are viewed as what you really are.... spoiled little ****ing brats.

Well, I for one will be mildly disappointed.

It would be tough to work up any more empathy than I'd have for the untimely demise of a crazed loner who kept tigers or grizzlies and then looked too much like steak for the beasts to resist one unlucky day.
