Posted this in GD with the thread title:

Cop strongly implies Occupy presence means increased terrorism threat; Federal agents at parade

This is from a story on the SoCal Occupy Fights Foreclosures march at the end of the Rose Parade this week. Deserves its own thread and consideration. Especially since Wells Fargo sponsored last years' parade (I do not yet know who did this one).

A 15-foot-high float, with "Mr. Monopoly" riding a red wagon, will wheel its way down the 5.5-mile route at the conclusion of the parade, organizers said. The board game character, intended to represent bankers, will have strings attached to participants who are on the verge of losing their homes or have lost their homes to foreclosure.

There will be an increased law enforcement presence, including federal agents, at the 2013 parade because of the Occupy demonstration, Sanchez said.

"The big thing we'd like to get out there is that if someone sees something, they should say something," Sanchez said. "It's the best way we can prevent something from occurring."

(Look at those last two paragraphs, which compress into: "There will be an increased LE presence including Federal agents...because of...Occupy. It's the best way we can prevent something from occurring." Meaning they expect Occupy to do terrorist acts, or at minimum, want to make people scared of Occupy doing terrorist acts.)

(More at the link. For those who do not believe there is Federal level monitoring and "concern" regarding Occupy. For those who do not believe they consider us terrorists or potential terrorists. For those who do not understand that this is the neocon victory of post 9/11 power grabs via the TERROR hotbutton, that Americans are now "terrorists" so that they can continue shoving their fingers ever more deeply into our government and enforcement systems. "See something, say something" is DHS paranoia, fear, uncertainty, doubt engineering. FUCK YOU PETER KING, Where's my democracy?)
