Nate, your post appears to me to contain some fairly partisan political views. Then again, maybe I'm not reading it correctly.

But the Southern Poverty Law Centre does now call the Nation of Islam & New Black Panther Party as far-right hate groups. so there are a few groups that would be willing to go from just trying to be peaceful and respectful protests and jump right into armed conflicts with both feet.

I'm glad to hear that many far right organisations in the US are actually just touchy-feely groups of civic-minded veterans and senior citizens whose main concern is keeping their protest spaces clean. Oh, but not the African-American or Islamic groups. They're the bad ones. Is that about right?

And here I was thinking that rapists cause rapes, but you're saying that the Occupy movement is responsible for rapes too? I've read a number of articles about rapes that have occurred at Occupy protests. I've also read about rapes occurring at large gatherings of people of all kinds. As far as I know the Occupy movement as a whole is against sexual assault (I do understand though that the Occupy movement has tried to distance itself from rapes that have occurred at its protests and that is a pretty crappy tactic).

The cases of bomb plots seem to involve anarchist groups that have aligned themselves with the Occupy movement. I have strong doubts that the mainstream Occupy movement condones terrorist attacks. Perhaps I need to do more research on this.
