Protesters bring out the worst in people. With no real leadership and no barrier to entry, anyone can just show up and take part.

The general public isn't suddenly talking about the issues because of the OWS; We've been talking about these issues for years now. This has dominated the news, dominated the last election, and will dominate the next election.
Now instead of talking about the issues, we are talking about protesters burning shit, vandalizing businesses, and causing employees to miss time at work - all while costing city governments millions.
The only fucking goal they have at this point is "Look at us".
