...These people are peacefully protesting, as is their American right...
from what we can see. From what EVERYONE can see, Phil. MSNBC isn't the only camera there. ALL the videos on YouTube show the events from multiple angles. So, if anyone wanted to see if the protestors "deserved" being corralled and maced like animals for simply standing on a sidewalk, there is a full, unedited, unbiased opportunity to do so. It's all there, free to anyone that wants to look.
So, no, I disagree. We can see everything. No bottles being thrown. No one getting violent. No fights. Nothing, except NYPD thuggery attacking those who dare question their Wall Street masters. Oh, and there is one video you should definitely look up. It's Wall Street bankers, sitting on their marble balconies above the protests, drinking champagne as a "fuck you" to the protestors. Yeah, that's real nice. Very American. Very fair.
I think this is what it looked like right before the French Revolution....
