FBI Investigated Occupy Wall St. as Domestic Terrorists

... when you are in business, is there anything else that matters more?

Human rights? Social responsibility? Democratic principles?

Don't mean much if ya go belly up, do they?

Don't mean much if ya go belly up, do they?

Not being belly-up don’t mean much if you’re surrounded by anarchy, suffering and chaos, have to live in a concrete shelter behind electric razor fences and can’t go anywhere without an armed guard. Wait a second, I should clarify because I suppose there are actually some people who could care less if they did. But we digress (I think).

The "homeless" wanted to join in because the "occupiers" had better shelters and more food than they had. They were also instrumental in assisting in the demise of the protest by bringing in their drugs and over-doing them, thereby bringing a bad reflection upon all others. the protesters could not even police themselves well enough to provide protection for their own female participants.

I don't know, could you please give us some stats and links to your sources?

To start with.

Okay, I have reviewed all of the provided links and fail to see where there is any mention of the FBI, investigation, terrorism.
Perhaps the protesters were "roughed-up" some. I wasn't there to give my personal evidence/experience of everything that lead up to these moments that the press have chosen to write about or for you to offer as evidence.
Druggies had overdosed, women were sexually assaulted and there were no signs of sanitary human waste disposal at the camp-outs. BUT there were no signs of terrorism or impediment from the FBI.

I think the gay-rights issue is a bit different somehow ... were they camped on his doorstep and using the streets for their toilets? Were they a public safety issue or a health hazard?

...because the FBI regularly looks into or has a mandate to look into loitering and drunk people peeing in alleys after the bars let out ( or sober people in a park ).

You said that a business is just in feeling threatened from domestic terrorists who are bringing public awareness to their (sometimes shameful or illegal) business practices. Therefore when Chick-A-Fil knew that massive groups of domestic terrorists were planning on camping out and possibly preventing people from shopping at the fabric of their livelihoods, the FBI should have been all over that.

By justifying the use of the FBI to investigate OWS protesters under the cloak of "economic terrorism", surely the almost comical nature of the topic point that the crimes committed by the people who actually did ruin peoples lives, savings accounts, retirement funds are justly overshadowed by loitering and public urination becomes overwhelming to you.

The people who ruined the economy should get special extra FBI help to thwart democratically protected protestors from possibly hurting their business a little.

The FBI was looking into protesters before they were protesting, but a few thousand people wanted to be extra greedy and ruined the world economy for their own greed and put a few million people out of their homes were investigated - lightly - a year or so after the "bomb" went off.

Domestic terrorism indeed. Suits with suicide vests - and they actually do get to live in paradise afterwards with virgins (and whatever else they want)

While Chick-fil-A protests were harmless as well, they did have police presence too - just in case things go wrong. I don't see any outrage about it

FBI investigating domestic terrorism is not like a cruiser from a local PD being on standby for a protest.

Bunch of rainbow lovers showing up at a local restaurant is not like a giant movement that includes dozens of locations and thousands of people.

The Chick-A-Fil protest was nationwide.

DHS has named returned veterans as the number one terrorist threat in the US followed by the Tea party and Occupy.
You know you live in a sick corrupt country when your veterans and people using their 1st amendment are perceived to be terrorists.
RIP USA.
None of this is new though July 16 1932

I have read about this before. It was called the Bonus Army. The American government promised bonus checks for
WW 1 Veterans. Retired Marine Commandant General Smedley Butler even went to there camps to encouraged the men. Also General Patton was going to use tanks against the protesting Veterans. I have read one of General George S. Patton's Bibliography and this event isn't even mentioned in the book.

Okay, I will bite first. WHO were "shunned". Students needed to be taught where to go pottie? Just how old were these students? 3, 4,5 years old? What are you trying to say?
