Kelly says that there are groups of protesters who?ve tried to charge police barricades, which caused officers to have to respond in force.
?They locked their arms. They counted down ? 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. Then they decided to charge the police. That is going to be met with some physical force,? Kelly said.
Marching to <insert rich guy's name here>'s home seems to me to cross the line.
Also, interviews with demonstrators revealed that many would support violence to advance their agenda. A position I suspect Trogdor, a wanna-be occupy participant, and supporter of war with our federal government would give thumbs up to.

Painting the movement with this broad brush is simply wrong. The overwhelming majority of participants in the United States have demonstrated themselves to be peaceful.
What about my Tea Party question?
