if this happened at a Tea Party Rally and a Marine was injured as bad as the one from Oakland...oh boy, we'd be in for it.

Yep.

Pisses me off how they don't lift a finger against armed tea party rallies but will spray rubber bullets and flash grenades at unarmed OWS protesters

what is worrying me, is if there was some sort of violent action on the part of the protesters, because then people will not take this seriously, at all. and they need to.

mte, I'm terrified of these protests becoming more violent than they already are. It's RIDICULOUS that the Teabaggers waved around guns at events where Obama was appearing and yet the pigs are macing unarmed protesters.

Regrettably, in Oakland at any rate, it's looking like violent action did take place.

They'd been teargassed once already.

So did the violence break out after they'd already been teargassed that first time? Was it in response to it? I am asking because if the cops had already reacted to minor disagreements with tear gas, then it was not unprovoked violent action.
