Huh. Violence arrives with the unions.

  Again, mysteriously, violence occurs with the arrival of the unions. This time, it's the Wall Street protest:
(NEW YORK) -- Unions on Wednesday helped the group Occupy Wall Street occupy lower Manhattan.
But what began as a peaceful rally turned ugly as the night wore on. A small group of protesters tried to rush a police barricade, leading to 20 and 30 arrests. Some people were hit with batons and pepper-sprayed.
  Now, of course, the police will be blamed for all violence, not the protesters. In fact, the protesters assume the police will be violent. One of the questions at the OccupyToledo FAQ page asks how BAD the brutality is, not if it exists:
Are there cops all over the square? How bad has the police brutality been? If I came there, what are the risks?
There are so many obvious inconsistencies in this whole "protest" movement which has admittedly been generated by anarchists:
Q: I hear that Adbusters organized Occupy Wall Street? Or Anonymous? Or US Day of Rage? Just who put this together anyway?A: All of the above, and more. Adbusters made the initial call in mid-July, and also produced a very sexy poster with a ballerina posed atop the Charging Bull statue and riot police in the background. US Day of Rage, the mainly internet-based creation of IT strategist Alexa O’Brien, got involved too and did a lot of the early legwork and tweeting. Anonymous—in its various and multiform visages—joined in late August. On the ground in New York, though, most of the planning was done by people involved in the NYC General Assembly, a collection of activists, artists and students first convened by folks who had been involved in New Yorkers Against Budget Cuts. That coalition of students and union workers had just finished a three-week occupation near City Hall called Bloombergville protesting the mayor’s plans for budget cuts and layoffs. They had learned from the experience and were itching to do it again, this time with the hope of having a bigger impact. But no one person or group is running the Wall Street occupation entirely.   
 So who are adbusters and what are their goals? They simply want to wreck the economy and this country.
“We will wreck this world,” Kalle Lasn declares in his book Culture Jam: How to Reverse America's Suicidal Consumer Binge -- and Why We Must. That, quite simply, is the goal of the Vancouver-based organization he founded and runs. A self-described group of “anarchists” and “neo-Luddites,” Adbusters are not merely environmentalists, animal-rights activists, anti-technology activists, or neo-Prohibitionists. They are all these things and more.
  They are "united in hate. "
