10. Don't you question the assumption that these were legitimate Occupy protesters?

And if you do don't you then follow logic and start questioning how the FBI could possibly know who to meet with and set up so they can make an arrest just in the nick of time to make the Occupy movement out to be a gang of murdering terrorists? Evidently you don't.

And, by the way, questioning something the FBI does doesn't automatically mean you think they're up to something bad every time they gloriously come to the rescue of the American Way Of Life. It just means you know some history and you're not an easily led idiot.
