Yes, it was ironic, wasn't it? I wonder if my generalization could possibly have been done on purpose? Surely not.

Um as for your videos .. I see an idiot who brought his kid to a protest.
And people cursing at police.
The first offends me.. the second amuses me.
Put your comment back or not.. your pettiness has been noted.
You define yourself.. have at it.

Even if a small handful of protesters did this, how could you categorize an ENTIRE movement that consists of thousands of people?
Not that it would dismiss the actions of INDIVIDUALS, but blaming an entire group? Come on.
Hmmm-you mean like what was done to the Tea Party just a few short months ago on this very site??
The hypocrisy is nauseating...........
You seem to be lumping it all into one pile by defending it,I was commenting on one situation that involved the OWS movement.

I dont know what type of person would do that as IT IS "rude" but.... and this is a big but.. that doesn't mean this is "MY" movement OR derail the fact that this thread DUMPS all OWS types as the "one" guy possibly being a d*ck.
Really? would this mean the people 1-2000ft from where the entrance to the school are threatening "children"?.
Way to lump everything into one pile.edit on 18-11-2011 by GhettoRice because: (no reason given)

I'm sorry... but that is just absolute Bollocks... what an awful, pathetic attempt at making OWS protesters look like the bad guy again.
Really? All of the crap that has gone on at these OWS protests, but, the "OWS protestors" are always innocent. I've said it before and I will say it again. This is a brilliant tactic. With no leadership, no cohesion anybody can get away with anything and everybody else will say "they are not with us". This crap is getting old. What I'm waiting to see and it might happen, is a bunch of people who have had enough OWS crap, decide to Occupy OWS and kick the protestors out. After what happened in Pittsburgh yesterday, it is entirely possible.

People are scraping the barrel is right. Again with a select "few" story, guess your mind is unable to decipher between a few individuals and an entire movement of tens of thousands on Tuesday alone in one city, whilst the world puts the movement no doubt over the millions mark, and those unable to protest for weeks and months, because well uh, they're working and finding it difficult and can't afford to not be doing something. I know the number of those at home or at work well exceeds the actually number of protesters.
I get the attempts to discredit something, I do, but use your brain, zoom-out a little, look at the scope of people from all walks of life. Your ignorance is letting you becoming infuriated by one article. As with everything, the select few will always be the select few. It's something that there haven't been masked molotov marauders or real violence in the numbers. Oh, and just because people are protesting with all their will and can't shave their beards and look like homeless people, yeah, get with it. It hurts my brain, honestly.
