   I have an idead rathe bugging people that work at these locations, why don't guys go occupy city hall, state capitol buildings, US Congress, etc. They actucally make laws thse locations and you probably could make a bigger difference there. Also, I hear the police are hundred times more fun when people that are really in power and really don't want to see us common folk on their door step all day get involved.

   Occupy Black Friday says, "ON NOV. 25th: OCCUPY LARGE CHAINS AND PUBLICLY TRADED RETAIL."

   Apple is a LARGE CHAIN AND PUBLICLY TRADED RETAIL with many stores, wealthy management and stockholders.

   Should we OCCUPY APPLE?

     These people are idiots. They are out to get handouts and destroy the economy. How do you boycott McDonalds, Wendys, Dollar Store, Walmart and everyone else they want to boycott. These people that work there are part of the so called 99%. Their jobs pay bills. You want to put them out of work??? OWS have no idea what they are doing or what they want except as I said desotry the country, the economy and just gets handouts. They should all move to Greece and Italy and see what they want has done to the countries and the people.

     I was hoping a member of the OWS movement would reply. My guess is that you aren't.

   We should at least boycott the stores that are opening Thursday night, including Walmart, ToysRUs, Kmart, Target, BestBuy, Macys, Kohls. Just by not showing up at these stores until Friday after daybreak you will be sending an important message that says: "Enough is enough!" We must stop this out-of-control consumerism. I used to work at Circuit City and have seen this coming for years. Protect the workers who want to enjoy the Holiday by not giving these companies your business, at least until daybreak on Friday. You can be sure that the top exec's of these companies are not going in on Thursday.

     Who are you to tell a business what hours they can operate? Who are you to tell a worker they shouldn't work certain days?

   I urge people to consider donating to their local food banks over this holiday season if it's possible. It's amazing what they can do with cash contributions and do they ever need it. America First!

     I think the Deadbeeats (=OWS) are against food banks too because it has the word bank in it.

   Clearly the Occupy people are limousine liberals with trust funds. Nice work advocating a boycott of retailers that employ thousands of fellow Americans. Never mind the sales tax, payroll tax, and corporate income tax that is generated from economic activity such as Black Friday. So yes, please encourage a boycott. I am sure those out of work would prefer the economy sputter along. My suggestion is direct your efforts at both political parties and get our leaders focused on making sound decisions. Beating up on corporate America and making capitalism out to be bad is a losing strategy for all of us.

   This is possibly the most short-sighted, ill-concieved "plan" I've ever heard of. If you want to sleep out in a park or stand and protest peacefully, I fully support your right to protest if not your message. Once you start impacting others by "occupying" a retailer, you have now stepped over th eline. Interrupting holiday shopping isn't going to win over any public favor or help the economy.

   At least it will be fun to watch the real 99% run over the OWS "99%" on their way to the limited offers. Don't get between the American shopper and a sale.

    Shoppers bring your guns, your mace, your tasers, your peeper spray, your baseball bats, knives, whatever you need to defend yourselves against these creepy people. Do not be agfraid to defend yourselves. Cops it is time to start locking these people up for 6months with real criminals. They obviously are not getting the message.

    You see this is all very simple. All our intelligence service (SVR) has to do is penetrate – er assist this occupy movement, and help further it along. Soon we will have method of creating civil war, uh, I mean a civil discourse in the USA that will lead to greater equality and freedom for the American peoples. Any of you involved in the Occupy Movement, please visit your local Russian Consulate and we will gladly turn you into our agent for...uh, a very noble cause in your homeland.

    I think they should protest all these stores! Less business for them, more for the smaller stores. That's what creates jobs, not these huge conglomerates. Im so fed up with these huge companies calling themselves job creators. What a crock! They destroy jobs or send them over seas is what they do!

    BOYCOTT BLACK FRIDAY!

      Small stores for the most part sell the same stuff at higher prices. Most of it is made overseas. Start living in the 21st century people. If you can't handle the modern world start a commune and live like the Amish!

      Sorry but that is the dumbest thing I've ever read – they destroy jobs and small business creates them. a small business isn't going to employee 30, 40, 50, 60 ,70k seasonal employees, are they? Didn't think so. So, since these Occupy people want to cause issues for the larger retailers simply because they are large what you all are really doing is counter productive to the message you are trying to send. Good lord, our own self stupidity will be the undoing to the U.S.
