I find people like that incredibly annoying.

And I didn't see much support for the OWS people.

Compared to protesting in a big store where most people in America buy things?

I don't see that as a valid comparison.

I wasn't saying they were comparable. Would we have civil rights if there hadn't been disruption? Same goes for the anti war movement.

They had a message to give, and they went right into the belly of the beast. Can you think of a better way to deliver a message about the abusive and unpatriotic actions of Walmart? The MSM would risk millions of advertising revenue if they exposed Walmart. If the media refuses, then we have to do it.

Heaven forbid we disrupt mindless consumption.

You make an excellent point: MSM sure as hell isn't going to take on these issues so it leaves us with no alternative but to "take it to the streets" so to speak.

the hunger for an omelet in a few people. The MSM is not the cook though they like to stir the pot.
