ORIGINAL: Iamsemisweet Apparently the latest tactic for OWS in Seattle and Portland is to find vacant, supposedly foreclosed on houses to "occupy". Or trespass in, depending on your point of view. From this article, it appears that the anarchist part of the movement is responsible for this, and they have extended their anger beyond banks to "landlords". I guess is you are a landlord, you MUST be part of the 1% As much as I want to try to be supportive of this movement, it looks like its lack of focus will now be its undoing. Trespassing and defacing private property is also not likely to gain the support of most of the 99%. http://www.columbian.com/news/2011/nov/29/new-occupy-tactic-on-west-coast-squatting/ How does something that was never done have an undoing? To Willbe... How much time have you spent at your keyboard putting in time making sure it looks that way. Answer A FUCK LOAD. To the OP.. Yep, there are groups who act independent of the local groups GA. Even the cops get it's a small group acting on their own. The other night I watched four little thugs who just walked up to the scene of the LA Stand off and threw a few bottles of the beer they bought at a package store a few blocks away. they got arrested. An hour later, I watched the officer in charge of the Police Detail and several of his reports speaking with the facilitators in a very friendly, cooperative manner. He himself said "We know you folks have no ill intent and there are a lot of us who don't want to be here. And very few who disagree with what you're trying to do" So are people doing things the reast of the group doesn't approve of, but it's probably better than the Tea Party could sustain if they didn't have a Kock Bros. Chartered bus to hop on right after the speakers are gone. Or if they had to stay out there to be taken seriously. Since it was a co-opting of votes from the beginning, they didn't have to do anything but show up for a photo op that was well-orchestrated.
