Freedom of speech is fine. Deliberate, blatant attempts at antagonism are not the same thing. The author of the thread is an obvious troll who is attempting to pour salt in a wound, and this was made even more obvious by his citation of the pathetic rationale with which the political establishment brainwashed the police, in order for the movement to be shut down to begin with.
If the OP had wanted to express a legitimate opinion, he could have done so in a much less antagonistic manner. As I expressed in my thread, both Occupy and its' opposition, are far too heavily populated with testosterone poisoned, 15 year old boys.

Well,the same could be said for OWS protesters. I saw plenty of "children" protesting with masks on. Screaming at the police,stopping regular Americans from living their lives,and that have no WANT to be be part of these protests. Isn't the protesting "antagonizing"?

Well said!
They never Occupied their moms basement either
Occupy, in my humble, was never meant to be a lasting force. It was an artificial attempt to rally people for a larger government.
Their central premise, no matter how you dressed it, was for larger government, more draconian oversight, and a net loss of freedoms.
Adbusters, SEIU, Van Jones, et al just could make it work.
Better luck next time.

They haven't stopped protesting and in some places they haven't stopped camping either. Any place thy've stopped that was done through force.

Better than those who are delusional enough to think a few thousand will change the world by hiding out in the parks.
PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans have grown a bit more critical over the past month of the methods used by Occupy Wall Street protesters; however, their overall view of the movement and position on its goals have not changed. The majority of Americans, 53%, say they neither support nor oppose the movement, while supporters continue to slightly outnumber opponents.
