(34,845 posts)So there were some Occupiers who denounced the burning of voter registration cards. And I say good for them.
Still, it highlights the fact that Occupy {Insert noun here} is not very organized.

It escalated with the flag burning incidents. Many Occupiers were against it. The direct action occupiers, those who supported civil disobedience, were for it.
Then now there's this, the Occupiers fully against the state are making it known (they've been there all along driving the civil disobedience; flamed as agents provocateurs, bloc anarchists, etc).
It's unclear how Occupy will evolve from here. I still think there is plenty of room for evolution, but we'll have to see how things pan out.

NOT!!!!
Occupy what? The downtrodden?
Pitiful. This is why OWS has failed. They have no consistent message and they have an inordinately desire to camp in public parks, which will inevitably bring the health department against, not their message, but their practices.
Gees! I have great sympathy for the oppose Wall Street position. But their mistakes were legion.
1. Stay on message.
2. Do not do things which violate public interest, like camp out for weeks with no sanitary facilities.
Duh!?
