From the article. I did a search and didn't find it. Mods, I'm conflicted as to post this in Alternative news or this forum. Do your thing if need
be.
It started as a gathering of furious youngsters, protesting about the supposed lack of opportunities for the average American.
But then the freeloaders came along.
As the Occupy Wall Street protest continued in full strength in Manhattan this weekend, the atmosphere in New York's financial district became
increasingly debauched.
Conspicuously living among the politically active in the makeshift village in Zuccotti Park are opportunistic junkies and homeless people - making the
most of the free food on offer.
Also present and infuriating the hard core of activists are a number of teens looking to turn the gathering into an urban rave.
I have personally seen the homeless, who were mostly ignored at the OWS rally here in Cleveland. I believe that I even saw a guy who had tried to rob
me a few years back. (Kept my eye on him).
As long as this continues, people won’t remember why there were protests other than the trash, public sex and vagrants. It will effectively kill the
movement.
Well, so will the lack of a cohesive message.
It is good that they are trying to police themselves though and that says alot. Maybe they could use the union members as security?
But I really don’t see much good coming from that idea as the Rolling Stones found out that using the Hell’s Angels as security didn’t work out
to well did it?
Any ideas , thoughts?
