As city governments are becoming less tolerant to the Occupations within their cities, more and more confrontations with police will be expected. So far though outside of breaking windows and throwing bottles at police officers, damage has been limited (besides the destruction of the parks) but this appears to be the first attempted attack using potentially lethal means .. a petrol bomb.

I highly doubt that this was a OWS sanctioned incident, or that the "government" of OWS was involved. Inside the camp, at least here in Ptown there are a lot of "anarchist street kids" mentally ill homeless and criminals. But regardless, if someone is living in an OWS camp and attacks someone, say, shoots or throws a petrol bomb on someone .. OWS in the end gets the blame as an organization.
