Remember Sgt Shamar Thomas shouting down 25 NYPD? Sgt Thomas appeared on Countdown and RT, and now Marine Veterans, non active duty Marines have taken a stand with the 99%. And Police have started a new group Occupy Police.
I'm giddy.
We all know the OWS movement is growing, if you haven't noticed, its expanding its horizons. When I first found the U Tube of Sgt Thomas, I was stunned, and wrote it up here.
Hoo Rah Sgt. Thomas ! When I first saw this video it had just over 100k views, now its over 2.3 million. Viral by definition. Then Sgt. Thomas appeared on Countdown.
And Sgt Thomas appeared on Russia Today:
Furthermore, from Addicting info:
What began as the gathering of just a few US Marines has now become a major organized movement to get Marines and military personnell of all branches to Occupy America nationwide. You can thank Marine Sgt. Shamar Thomas for that. His actions last week have inspired service men and women across the country to take a stand for the American people and join the Occupy protests.
Hoo Rah Occupy Marines ! and a Hoo Rah for Occupy Police ! Heres all the info:

A very prescient Gil Scott Heron:
The revolution will not be right back after a message
about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.
The revolution will not be televised, but do not worry, we are living it live and it is in our hearts. I wish that Gil Scott Heron had lived to see this.
I am cautiously giddy.
