Well a lot of these people don't understand they are part of the problem.
And it is a way complicated issue. But really, someone taking a break from protesting to hit Starbucks for overpriced coffee is rather silly.
I love seeing this movement grow though! It's finally getting interesting. I hope it continues, even if people do have to stop and fund the other side they are protesting against.
