We have been discussing the negative aspects of OWS and until now we have only had minor crimes like rape, property destruction, taking over police stations, and defecation. However, now with the attempted bridge bombing in Cleveland http://news.yahoo.com/ows-tactics-turn-violent-attempted-cleveland-bridge-bombing-210700652.html, we are beginning to see what will be occurring this summer around the country. We hate to be negative but it is perfectly clear where OWS is going and it is not pretty.
We expect to see major riots in large and secondary cities around the country as well as major attacks on the infrastructure (bridges, tunnels) and against commercial office buildings housing national and international companies. We think there will be attempts to close down car, train, internet and possibly air traffic. There also will be attempts to take over company as well as government offices in these same cities.
Police response will be very measured and only when there is demonstrable (not potential) property damage or fear of or actual physical harm to individuals will they become involved. Arrests will be limited to only the most outrageous participants. Law enforcement will take this low key approach in an attempt to not encourage more over the top activity.
We expect there will be loss of life, substantial property damage and many injuries. The last time we saw this much trouble was in the late 60's. This time it will be worse.
Of course, we are just guessing what these domestic terrorists will have up their sleeves. It might be much more terrible. We pray that we are wrong but with the damage on April 30 in San Francisco and the attempted bridge bombing, we believe we are in for a bad summer and fall.
