It's so easy to ignore the core members of this movement and the good they are doing. All of the bad you posted isn't condoned by the movement and if anything as simple as a fight breaks out the member who initiated it is ejected from the group. They police themselves and do a fine job.
Here's the thing, the people who understand this movement won't be put off by a few media stories that pick out some bad apples and try to associate the movement with them. Hell, the media doesn't even cover the movement unless they can spin some story that makes the protesters look bad.
So, post your links and let the usual fools pat you on the back. The movement is growing, and as much as you hate it and wish it would go away, it won't.
