Do you respect the occupy protesters as they attack the economy and shipping ports?

Maybe if they would occupy a quiet landfill somewhere...

Update:

You are correct Lady, I am a Georgia Goober. Thanks for noticing. Yes I do recognize they are attacking my economy and the question is to who's benefit?

Update 2:

And by the way, wouldn't attacking shipping ports have an effect on the global economy?

    At this point they are -- in fact -- domestic terrorists.

    I don't condone violence and destruction, but I still believe in what the Occupants are doing. This may be considered an attack on corporations and shipping companies, but really, which party was the first to strike? Big corporations have made a sport out of screwing over the vast majority of American workers for far too long. It's good that people are finally fighting back.

    As sensible as torching an SUV in environmental protest. Much feel grand to release all those toxins a burning SUV emits?

    Locking ports down tearing things up and interfering with young children on the way to school. Screaming threats and bile. They lose all credibility and become nothing but anarchists. Burn Macy's indeed.

    Proper punishment would seem a good dose of their own desires. Shackle them in stocks and let the children toss rotten cabbages at them. Shame them. Make them clean their own filth up with toothbrushes and salt.

    Yes, I side with the rabble over the British East Indies Company types.

    i remember back when asserting your constitutionally given rights was considered patriotic... or does that just apply to the second amendment and not the first?

    Nope. It's time for the firehoses and tear gas. They are a mob...nothing more.
