The window of this bank were broken from the INSIDE as you can easily see the glass on the sidewalk and the blinds bent outward.

It's painfully obvious, and probably doesn't need to be said, but I'll say it: those guys are there to try and incite some violence and start a riot. Their faces are covered, and they're clearly trying to instigate something, whether that is a fight, some looting, or whatever.

I wonder what union they belong to. The black outfits are a typical tactic of theirs.

This is where it begins to get ugly.

It is very predictable that people are only going to sit around in tents for so long...as the world just keeps on operating as before...before people begin to get frustrated and turn to violence of one kind or another. And/or take it up another notch to begin to actually impede economic activity in some way (like, I don't know, blocking a seaport).

Ultimately they will not be satisfied sitting around in little chatter circles, passing meaningless resolutions, and issuing manifestos that have no effect. The trigger is when the media starts to move onto the next story...

These people will want "action". They will still want people to pay attention.

Heads will get cracked...things will be set on fire...men in riot gear will show up.

The beginning of the end is neigh for this "movement."

Well, if the reporter is to be believed, this damage was caused by "a small group" of protesters.

So, even if your hypothesis is true, as to the direction of the force used to break these windows...what is your point?

I think it is probably an even more serious matter, if the protesters actually entered this place of business before starting to smash things...

How come every time something goes wrong or gets violent, OWS always finds a way to blame it on others? Government inflitrators, police brutality, media bias etc. You really don't think people can just get violent on their own? You are the 99%, that's alot of people, with alot of differing behavior and views. Maybe you all are really the violent 21%, the peaceful 39%, and the "not sure why I'm here" other 39%.

Not so sure about that
