Dont expect much support for anything involving getting out there and doing anything, gfy is not the place for that lol
will always be haters against those who actually get off the sofa, they will encourage arrests, and violence against peaceful people never remembering that is what America is all about.
too bad the have no concept of american ideals or the freedoms that allow us to gather and protest.

I am, sadly, a keyboard warrior. I wish I could become more involved with local politics. My local home town has some issues (going broke, etc) and I'd love to jump in and get involved but I fear the first thing anyone will say is "pornographer" and then my child will be shunned. So I do my protesting from home.
In this case with the OWS movement, they don't have a objective or goal. They are all over the place, and in a lot of cases you have people protesting just because they like to protest.
Seems things are getting interesting in Oakland. No one can seem to make out what really happened last night. With social networking things get ugly quickly, and mis-information seems common. The protestors are saying the police used flash-grenades while the police say it was fireworks from protestors. Oddly enough, what's not being reported is that protesters attacked police to take back the part.
