Another thing I would like to add is how conservatives and those against OWS will add this in every rant from this point on and connect it to the larger OWS movement. Doesn't matter that it is a small group which wishes to push the OWS label, or that they are obviously pushing their own agenda. Nope it's the whole OWS from now on.

Dear Chewingonmushrooms,
Please don't take this as a personal criticism. My synapses just happened to fire when your post was the most recent in the thread.

It just dawned on me that THERE ISN'T ANY OWS! Sure, some people say there is, but if you draw attention to Oakland you'll be told "You can't judge a whole movement by a few people." This has become the way for people to dodge any responsibility for what they do. "Oh, if it's bad or ugly then it wasn't OWS." Look at the responses in this thread. You'll see three or four different ways of saying, "It didn't happen, it wasn't that bad, it was outsiders, the other side isn't innocent."
You'll hear the same thing about DC, New York, anywhere that the group gets coverage. Everyone says "That's not OWS." No one has ever said "THIS is OWS." Why not, because there isn't any OWS. It's just a brand name dreamed up in Canada to attempt to give legitimacy to individuals scattered all over who want to fuss. Oh, people will say "OWS is . . ." and then offer a description of some utopian organization dedicated to fighting evil, but, just like the famous "worker's paradise," they can never point to one.
You can't even find some one to say "If OWS existed, this is what it would believe." There is no formal list approved by OWS authority, they're all "drafts" or "suggestions." The last word is that they're hoping to have their demands drafted and approved by elected representatives prior to Election Day.
Again, dear chewingonmushrooms, I hope you can see that I'm not questioning you, simply a position that I've seen taken over and over.
I'm not going to proofread or reword this. You're getting it just as it exploded in my tiny brain.
With respect,
Charles1952

It is clear that a whole new slew of Police URGENTLY need to be hired who will actually enforce the law and order and go in and smash flat the OWS folk, sweep them off the streets and slam them to the back of the prison cells for a good long few decades.
People have a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO LIVE IN PEACE.

Yes of course it involves REAL people... People are real... doesn't mean they are intelligent... I feel like someone said this or close to it "Doctors going to an Ivy league school are democrats till they get their first paycheck"
it was in regards to unfair taxing of the wealthy.... OWS people need to stop asking for handoutsedit on 1-2-2012 by DrNotforhire because: (no reason given)
