Isn't irony great?

That sucks for them.

They only wanted to redistribute everyone else's wealth not their own.

How greedy of them to want to keep their own material processions.

The "thieves" that took the items and money were just demonstrating the full ramifications of redistribution.

Namely you have it I want it so I take it.

Maybe the useful idiots will learn from this...

Of course we all know they won't

Stolen? It's obvious that someone needed that stuff more than them. They just redistributed without involving the government. That's efficiency in action right there.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Its hard to run a revolution on a shoestring. Even the wear and tear on the drums is hard to bear. How ya gonna run a revolution with damaged drums?

Tensions grow at Occupy Wall Street as money and power struggles fester behind-the-scenes - NYPOST.com

In the 20th Century, several would-be USA "revolutionary groups" of all political stripe, commie, anti-commie, and everywhere in-between, eventually turned to bank robbery or armored car hijacking just trying to pay the bills. I guess that is a rather obvious strategy for so many previous groups to have thunk up the same strategy?

Seems to take a few years to get to the bank robbery stage. The early 1960's Minutemen anti-commie group didn't seem to go down that road til the later 1960's.

The commie Weathermen also seemed to take several years to arrive at the bank robbery stage.

Maybe they start out kinda idealistic then as time goes on become disenchanted and increasingly frustrated, peed-off, and desperate? Wonder if modern young idealists will take several years to get to the armored car hijacking stage?

Perhaps the statistics are similar to other deviant behaviors-- Lots of people dabble in drugs but then lose interest, leaving a smaller residue who are hooked for life. Of the people who dabble in revolution, perhaps most of them lose interest before it gets them in too much trouble?

Maybe effective revolutionaries would have to work for a living so they can afford to buy their own drums or bullets? Without having to wait for inadequate slow disbursements from the finance arm of the organizing committee?

To assure proper funding, maybe Occupy Wall Street should form a corporation and sell public stock? Gotta keep those drums in proper working order!
