Well yesterday was Mayday which has been a very historic day from the Labor Unions to what it currently focuses on which is Immigration which from time to time resurfaces as being a major issue in our 200+ year history.
So here the General Strike March which was called for by Occupy Oakland which the local Occupy here in Portland ignored.

So what are your thoughts on this?
Is the Occupy Movement going to catch back the energy that it lost in the loss of activity/media attention through the Winter?

I sure as h3ll hope not. You're not concerned about the Occupiers who were going to blow up a bridge in Ohio?
Take a look at the link and see who funding OWS, tell me if you think we should be supporting it too?

The Occupy Movement doesn't have a very clear defined limiter on the people that it attracts. I mean that is like saying that Anonymous is nothing but hackers and thirteen year olds. Which is true for some who are a part of the Collective but it isn't true for everyone in it. Also every Occupy is different from another Occupy they just aren't the same movement from city to city.
The thing is they are decentralized with a some what defined goal but even the focus changes from city to city.
Also even your own link said that one of them had ties doesn't mean that he was within the Government form of Occupy.

In my younger years, I was involved in protesting the war in viet nam. I don't however think that violence and mayhem is the way to effect change. And I also do not believe that the sincertiy of the protesters matters in the whole scheme of things. They are being used in their naivte', their desire for a better world, to bring in the worst tyranny the world has ever known. Take a look at the long list of those who are funding this. Ask yourself why N. Korean communists and Iranian jihadists are BOTH giving money to those who want a better world? I am not questioning the motives of the individuals involved (unless they are violent) but I AM questioning the motives of those who ARE behind the scenes.

I hope so. I just hope all the idiots stay home. You are doing nothing for the cause acting like a fool. Using the the movement to abuse the law is is never going to help things. All you are doing is giving Fox News fuel to keep this corrupt system in place.
