The Blaze Reports From Inside the ‘Comrade’s’ Ranks: ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Day of Rage

By the time I arrived at the Wall Street Day of Rage around 2:00 PM, the NYPD had Wall Street on total lockdown, with barriers at both ends, uniformed NYPD officers standing shoulder-to-shoulder, and plastic flexcuffs hanging in bundles from their belts. Clearly, the NYPD was not messing around. So the anti-capitalists and comrades and anarchists had to move their march south.
The leftist smorgasbord of a few hundred gathered on the nearby front steps of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. It was here that the Day of Rage protest hit full swing.
While its “Occupy Wall Street” concept was thwarted by the fact that they couldn’t even walk on Wall Street, the protestors remained enthusiastic about their plan to camp out for months, and their cause.
But what that cause is remains anyone’s guess. The Days of Rage protest was sort of a leftist outcry a la carte, a mishmash of grievances vaguely anti-capitalist, and anti-government. The main rallying cry was anti-banker, and there was much talk of ‘fat cats.’ After that, the message was unified only in its hatred for our current government, and the promise that we would all be better off if the system collapsed.
I spoke with many of the Day of Rage protestors. They were clearly fired up, but there was widespread insistence that this event remain non-violent. Whenever a protestor took a bullhorn out and tried to get the crowd fired up, the speech tended to drift into shapeless platitudes about ‘banksters,’ corportate greed, and references to socialism. A few secondary characters yelled out about stopping the “Tea Party,” but this passed without much noise from the crowd.
In the single most enthusiastic crowd moment, one of the organizers took the bullhorn and summarized the message of the whole event: ”The system is going to collapse,” he said, “we are here to make it collapse faster.”
There were many Guy Fawkes masks in the crows, and some more bizarre, homemade costumes milling about. The anarchists were mingling freely with the socialists. The anti-war group “Code Pink” sent a small delegation (in pink, of course). They all agreed our government should crumble, but nobody seemed to wonder if that happened, who would take the reins? Doesn’t somebody have to implement socialism?
There were a few Ron Paul fans in the crowd holding up signs that mostly supported the Congressman‘s ’end the wars’ stance. A deceptively well-groomed Larouchite handed me a flyer with “Seven Necessary Steps” outlined for America that focused on economic reform and forcing Barack Obama to resign.
Around 3:00 PM, The protest moved north up Broadway to the Chase Manhattan Plaza, not far from the site of Ground Zero.
The same organizers took to the bullhorn and repeated their slogans for a while. People started to look tired, bored, and hungry.
Primetime Brass
Then, in perhaps the most surprising turn of events all day, a counter-protest erupted from the other side of the Plaza. A full brass band, Primetime Brass, bellowed out patriotic tunes, including “The Marine Corps Hymn.” This clearly stole the protestors’ thunder for a while. The best they could do in response was yell at the band “play the Internationale!”
A little after 4PM, the protestors broke up into discussion groups. They sat crossed-legged on the ground. A few turned into drum circles. In others, the more vocal members of the crowd lectured others on socialism, and Wall Street greed, and the need to ‘do something,’
The few hundred participants in the protest already appeared to be losing steam at that point. As organizers began to bring in food, one of them asked me to help him distribute sandwiches. I had avoided shaving for the better part of a week, and felt my scruffy look was validated by this. I politely declined.
I concluded that the moment the Skippy peanut butter runs out, most of these self-styled radicals will hop a bus back to campus, or their parents’ suburban basements.
This was not a Tahrir moment. Not even close.
But it is worth asking why. This was supposed to be a 20,00 person occupation to shut down Wall Street. They meant to show the world that the ‘banksters’ can be brought down, and with it the entire system of U.S. governance.
This crowd looked more like Ben and Jerry’s hippies than communist storm troopers.
From what I saw, the NYPD played no small role in keeping things in check.
When it comes to crowd control, the NYPD is widely considered the most capable police force in the country. After the U.K riots burned down whole neighborhoods, it was a former NYPD Commissioner they brought over to consult on new tactics and procedures.
The NYPD may have been the main reason the ‘Day of Rage’ protest appeared much more like a college sit-in for Earth Day, or Free Palestine, or whatever the grievance du jour might be, than a surging Madrid or Cairo riot.
Every interaction with protestors was courteous but firm. The robust NYPD presence was essentially a promise to the protestors: as long as they obeyed the city’s rules, they could yell and shout and rail against capitalism to their hearts’ content. And they did.
With my experience in both the intelligence community and law enforcement, it was obvious to me that if someone had picked up a bottle or started a fight, they would have been flex-cuffed within seconds. It was clear at all times who was in charge. The NYPD made sure even anarchists played by the rules.
That in itself may provide a critical example to other cities. The Day of Rage protests are supposed to occur in across the country, and go on for months. Politicians and police forces in other cities would be well-served to take a look at how the NYPD handled the Day of Rage as a blueprint for their own law and order efforts.
And remember– this was just a first ‘Day of Rage,’ as the protestors themselves said. “This is just a practice,” they yelled from the steps, over and over. They plan to continue these ‘direct action’ events. Perhaps next time, more radical groups will join. All it takes is a city with less police resources that fails to pay attention, or overreacts. We already have seen, in Madrid, London, and Cairo, what is possible.
The protestors say they will sleep on the streets for months. Based on what I saw, I doubt it. Maybe a core group will make it a week.
But among the signs and chants, there was real anger. And as the United States and the global economy stare at the possibility of a second recession in the months ahead, these ‘Day of Rage’ protests will probably get bigger, and their participants more brazen.

Posted on September 17, 2011 at 9:59pmI am confused. Biden told us the tea party is like a terrorist organization. Gore told us they were racist, black panther party calls them the enemy and need to be killed, Max Waters and the congressional black caucus want to destroy them, James Carville tells us that tea party folks want mass death, MSNBC calles them foul names like baggers…..
If you go to google images, and type “tea party movement” no one is wearing a mask, the signs they hold up are not foul or degrading, they wave American flags, wear patriotic buttons, there are no gas masks, anti american slogans…. When they finish their rally or meeting the place is clean and in tact.
When libs meet, you have weird masks, gas masks, busted store front windows, violence, destruction, fighting, riots, foul messages with anti american slogans and anti christian rhetoric….
One day America is going to wake up and see reality.

Once at Century City, my father and I were trampled by an obese woman trying to get on the tram…she had to have two seats for her enormous you know what…and again at Disney World. I discovered how skilled Germans can be at jumping in line. I watched a German woman and her brood hop her way in front of everyone behind me and just as she tried it with me she ran into my elbow. I successfully stopped her forward march and received a standing ovation. She retreated, at least for a while.

I’m not the smartest guy in the crowd, but I’ve certainly graded a few papers in my day. Sorry man, but this is a case of go home and do it again. In Christian America we expect our children to at least learn to read, write, do basic math, and learn a little bit of history (none of which can be, or should be associated with public education mind you). I’m as far right wing as they come, a certified Constitutional Moderate, The Blood of Jesus believing saved by Grace on individual merit of having received Him as Savior. Jesus said, “I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life. No man cometh to the Father BUT BY ME! I believe His word, so are you telling me that you don’t?

Posted on September 18, 2011 at 9:54amIs there any further proof needed that our society–under the stewardship of the Socialist-Liberals for the last 50 years–is ill and needs a radical fix? Ayn Rand approached this subject in Atlas Shrugged, but did not point to a fix. Glenn Beck Rush and even Dr. Savage are all town cryers pointing at the snake and crying out ‘There is a snake!’ Yes, we know there is danger, but what America needs is what Wil Adams does in his new political best-selling e-book on Amazon (How to Reform the Political System…). He not only points out the dangers–some of which even the most avid Glenn Beck GBTV viewer has not even thought of yet–and then he gives clear ideas on what Society should consider doing to rescue itself from those dangers. It is a real clear road map for success. I urge you all to read it.

Probably not one of their spelling words yet, everyone wanted someone else to look up the definition…
“He Joe, what does anarchy mean?” Well Refus, My mamma told me a guy named Noah built an archy, to float his animals cross some river.”

It reminds me of a mural I saw on the wall at a SAC base I was at years (many) ago. It was the metal gauntlet glove but instead of holding lightning bolts, it was holding a bloody a pair of bloody testicles. The words around it said: “To error is human. To forgive is not SAC policy” I loved that!

Was pleased to hear the police actually did cordon them . Will see what happens tonight during the darkness which emboldens Anarchists and their Molotov’s. And then, what happens on Monday morning when the little brainwashed Lefties plan to disrupt the evil, capitalistic Wall Street.

Posted on September 17, 2011 at 8:21pmWell, the part about “so-called Christians” would just about nail all the fakers in the current administration as well as the clinton and carter administrations. As to REAL CHRISTIANS, AMERICA IS still here because of us and because GOD LOVES HIS KIDS.
Instead of working today or in doing something productive and good for AMERICA, you lazy bums were out in costumes (afraid someone will know who you are?) with incompetence leading the way.
The best thing you all can do is, are you ready for this? STUDY THE TRUTH and stop believing the lies. Get off the drugs you are on, clean up your acts and get your lazy butts to work. You’ll be amazed how good you will feel and how happy you become.
We’ll be happy to welcome you back.

Posted on September 17, 2011 at 8:19pmWhat is there cause?
A. To draw attention unto themselves and by their activities divert attention away from other events going on in DC and via the unions, anarchists and the like.
B. Get people accustomed to their “passive protests” that amount to nothing and yet show a strong “police enforcer mentality” that “threatens our rights of free speech, free protest and freedom of movement.” (They want to enslave the country and dare to complain about not having freedoms…)
C. When the time comes, or the need arises, they have the “useful idiots” section, stirred up by the true “professional rabble rousers” stir up trouble directed at one or more targets, and using the social media (which they are claiming has been deliberatly blocked) to coordinate their efforts and monitor their “enemies movements.”
D. This also is an experiment to test the resolve of the NYPD, the administration of NYC and Obama.
E. It is a practice run to work out any holes and kinks in their way of communication, coordination, and command from the leaders (and yes there have to be some), who help to strategically use these situations for larger games being carried out.
Thankfully, and I will admit openly to being, I was wrong when I figured this would descend into a total melee and blood bath of violence. Hopefully that will not come, yet we still have the big DC protest set for next month to occur, if I recall my dates right.

Posted on September 17, 2011 at 9:34pmThose of us 50-somethings remember, though vaguely, the riots during the Dem Party convention in Chicago… and that bit of anarchy during the Rep convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul in 2008 for that matter. The potential is ALWAYS there. I’m sure the organizers wanted more today; they may succeed in making a scene on Monday as Wall Streeters go back to work. As good “warriors,” I’m sure that the organizers are probing for weaknesses. They may regroup and try again in their power-bases: college towns or cities near colleges. NYC may be just too big a nut to crack on the first assault. More to come, I’m afraid.

Posted on September 17, 2011 at 9:29pmThe people who were out on the streets in the 60′s were over privileged students basically who did not support the war, the government, thought Europe socialism was “cool”. I had just graduated from high school and knew then that many of them did not support the war because they were AFRAID to go. Privileged children, never tested, too much of parents‘ money are really not too impressive now and they weren’t then.
