"For a long time, there have been those that have warned
that economic riots are coming to this nation. Anger and frustration with the
economy and with our financial system have grown to unprecedented levels, and
this has fueled the rise of the various protest movements that we have seen over
the last couple of years. People are fed up and they want solutions.
Unfortunately, anger and frustration can express themselves in dangerous and
unpredictable ways. What we have seen in Oakland, in Seattle and in other major
U.S. cities this week is only just the beginning of the massive economic riots
that are coming to this country. Yes, "anarchists" were responsible for quite a
bit of the violence that we have seen this week, but they were not the only ones
involved. Some protesters were getting violent too, and there has also been
quite a bit of police brutality. Of course the vast majority of Occupy Wall
Street protesters do not want anything to do with violence and they recognize
that violence is not the answer. But that is the thing with anger and
frustration. It is hard to contain them in neat, self-disciplined packages. As
the economy continues to get worse, the protests will grow and unfortunately so
will the violence. You can preach the benefits of non-violence all day long to
some people but they just will not get it. America has reached a turning point,
and what we are seeing now is only just the beginning of the madness. In the
years ahead we are going to see rioting that is going to be absolutely
unprecedented..."
