Knifing cops, raping others, doing drugs and loitering because they think it's just the cool thing to do.... Raging against the rich instead of raging against the broken system.... I could go on, but that about summarizes it. I'm for the Occupy movement, but I believe a lot of the occupy protesters don't have any fucking clue what it's about, or are completely skewed as to what it's about. The movement needs to start policing its own and stop giving up quality for sheer quantity.

That's basically how my mom said it....
just kidding.
I agree with you 100% however, where i dissagree is your comment about policing who protests. (to some extent) if they policed who was there, they would have less then half as many people showing up and protesting. The numbers make an impact, even if part of that group saw people standing around and were curious and walked in not knowing what was going on. Power in numbers. But with that comes stupidity, so it's sort of a catch-22.
