Occupy's Message?

I’ve wondered about this for a week or two. And I haven’t known quite what to make of it or how to express it. It didn’t start with this pepper spray incident at UC Davis. But that sort of crystallized it further in my mind: the core message about economic inequality is being overwhelmed by a distinct story about (depending on your perspective) street violence and police brutality or excessive militarization of crowd control.

I think Josh Marshall is way off the mark here. Perhaps he’s too far up the economic ladder to catch it, but I don’t believe the core message of the Occupy movement is economic inequality. It’s judicial inequality (Why are the banksters not paying for what they did to the entire country when poor people rot in jail for possessing pot? E.g.) and lack of voice in government, which is simply highlighted by the government goon squads brutally attempting to shut them down.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
