The leader of the Occupy Denver movement has quit her post and says she can no longer endorse or support the city’s Marxist movement. Apparently the freaks became too freaky even for her. More specifically, she refused to take part in violent plans. Yes, really.

Infighting, backbiting and people she viewed as violent opportunists led one of Occupy Denver’s most visible participants to quit the local movement after the peaceful protest turned violent Saturday.

Rebecca “Becca” Chavez, 29, announced on Twitter on Sunday afternoon, “I support Occupy Wall Street whole-heartedly but I cannot, at present, support, endorse, or be a part of Occupy Denver.”

Why? Because, see, she believes in non-violent protest in order to win over hearts and minds. That’s evidently no longer welcome in the Occupy Denver movement.

“Becca was a part of a contingency that thinks if we completely let them (the police) bash our skulls in, then we’ll win,” said Corey Donahue, 28, a self-identified anarchist who helps in the Occupy Denver kitchen. “That kind of ‘militant nonviolence’ won’t work.“

Which means…what? The only way you can achieve your political objectives now is through violence? Let’s take a gander at the definition of terrorism.

the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.

And let’s look at the U.S. law pertaining to the definition of terrorism:

the term “terrorism” means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents;

Something tells me police officers and public officials engaging in lawful enforcement of local, state, and federal laws don’t qualify as “combatants”, which must mean they’re noncombatants. Waging politically-motivated and premeditated violence against them is, by definition, terrorism.

In related news, a man has been found dead at the Occupy Oklahoma City encampment, and a protester who intentionally knocked a police officer off his motorcycle in Denver has been charged with second-degree felony assault on an officer.
