press release

'Occupy' Movement Threat Level Elevated to 'High' for November 5th Weekend
ListenLogic Threat Advisory Warns of Heightened Risk of Violence According to Social Media Data

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The ListenLogic Social Listening Intelligence Center (SLIC) today elevated the 'Occupy' threat advisory level for large U.S. corporations to "High" for the upcoming November 5th weekend. Ongoing ListenLogic analysis of several million online posts has identified a significant increase in support for key Occupy events during the November 5th weekend, as well as increases in:

Threats made by protesters, with a 25% increase during the past week alone; of the threats, nearly 70% target police. The other most commonly targeted groups include: politicians (10%), corporate executives (8%), and reporters (3%).

Interest in online Occupy videos depicting acts of violence, destruction, and/or arrest activity. Over 80% of Occupy-related videos viewed on YouTube for the 30-day period ending November 4th include such acts.

Posts 'by' protestors who have been actively involved in marches stating that they will avoid weekend activity because of the potential for violence or harm.

1. Looks like they still don't get it. The occupy movement isn't about violence.

2. Their evaluations are a little comical.
All those videos show overwhelmingly POLICE violence, for example.
