I don't support OWS at all. There is no leadership and no common goal. Without one or the other, all you have a circus. Two months later nothing has changed, the Federal government and the banking industry has barely acknowledged these protests, it's cost local city government millions in law enforcement, clean up, and damages - plus we know lawsuits are gonna start flying soon.

On top of this, the longer this goes on, the more dangerous it will get. A very bad element is creeping in to the protesters, and now we have sexual assaults, muggings, and thefts coming out of these protests - not to mention other criminal acts such as throwing stones, rocks, bottles, an after last night molotov cocktails and shit at police while illegally breaking in and occupying buildings.

I'm sure that 99% of the protesters are peaceful. But the one percent that isn't is going to cause a lot of damage, and make OWS look horrible, and without any kind of leadership and barrier to entry, it will just be a free for all.

On top of this, they are going about this the wrong way. We don't need to be bitching at the banks about this. The banks don't set the laws - Washington does. Our target needs to be the politicians, not the banks.

But here's the best part... The entire goal of American society has been to lift yourself up to become that 1%, that same one 1% OWS is bitching about.
