OWS Letter To The Editor In USAToday: If Necessary, We'll Resort To Our Second Amendment Rights And Storm Wall Street and the Nation's Capitals With Guns

Vowing a coup.

A mostly peaceful coup, as JWF might say.

Quote:

"USA TODAY’s editorial is right to say that Occupy might lack clear goals on how to move forward, but the movement has accomplished its main original goal: to protest these injustices, not by simply holding a rally and going home, but by keeping the rally going to underscore the seriousness of this problem. Your piece accuses the protesters of sitting around and doing nothing. So maybe they should take up their Second Amendment-sanctioned guns and storm Wall Street and our nation’s capitals. If our country doesn’t change, it could very well come to that one day."

Ben Shapiro notes that this threatening letter is welcomed by USAToday without a single tut (nevermind the more popular tandem variety). He invites you to imagine if the author had not been a member of Occupy, but rather a member of the Tea Party.
