In other words it would seriously damage the cause of the radical left. Anyone who thinks the US public at large is ready to support political violence and blood in the streets is truly delusional. The leftist violence of 1968 led to the election of Nixon.

Or you could end up with a break off group of people not disimilar to the IRA. Wonder if this will spread to other occupy groups having armed "gaurds" to try and stop the police from moving them.
