I dont know. But even if they were that doesnt mean every person that supports OWS supports their actions. Occupy Wall Street is an open movement that welcomes every american and doesnt make people fill out applications to join so I dont see how any open movement would be able to keep the bad apples out. This is propaganda. The media is taking the actions of a couple of kids and applying it to OWS to make the movement look bad. Do you really think this wouldnt have happened anyways whether OWS was there or not?
Yes, I'm sure it does happen everyday. No you can't keep the bad people out. What you could do is denounce these kind of actions to the public. It's like OWS bails out people in the group. Even if they are bad eggs. I'm not trying to beat up the group. I just wonder why no one ever tells the media that thy don't condone actions like this. There is bad PR going on here. The need of a media spokesperson needs to be addressed.
"Tuesday night, an employee at the Federal Reserve building called police after seeing three people deface a statue at Eleanor Tinsley Park, 500 Allen Parkway"

I agree that OccupyHouston representatives do need to express this but this movement has expressed that this is a peaceful assembly multiple times, I dont see why the fact that they havent addressed this one incidence yet makes them guilty of the crime. Im sure these kids did attend OWS protest but that doesnt mean that the administrators or whoever runs the rallys are provoking kids to do things like this. If that was true there would be more incidences then one. They are trying to tie the people who have commited any crime near tranquilty park to OWS for propaganda purposes. The media tied the recent white house shooter to OWS a day after it was confirmed he had never even attended a protest.
No, But I.m not the average joe. But this the face of occupy in main streets eyes. The Tea party never had this PR problem. Yes main streem media tried as they are trying with occupy. But with the Tea Party its hard to get bad PR when your sitting in chair waveing the American flag. Occupy should follow the Tea party example because this is not working. In 18 months they had Created there own sub party and had Reps in congress, In 30 months they have canadates running for president trying to carry there support. Averge Joes will never let occupy grow anymore than sleeping in the streets intill its image gets cleaned up and they come up with a clear direction.
I would like to see the graffiti they created before commenting.
Graffiti, by it's very nature, is illegal. Who cares what it said?
But judging by the mugshots, these "pillars of society" are a fair representation of the rest of the dregs I see on the news throughout the country, no matter what is being Occupied. How's about occupying a barber-chair and get a big-boy haircut, eh???
