Until I read your OP that you linked to in the thread. You object to criticizing any group that wants to participate as "divide and conquer". Do I have that right?

My issue is not with groups joining up, its with groups that join only for their own disparaging agendas that are opposed to the protest's objectives. Black Block live with a deluded vision of a world where they will remain young and healthy forever and rule in a Mad Max world with no rules where the strongest (they) survive. They have no use for the Occupy or the 99% ideals who for the most part just want fairness and accountability for the 1%, but still want to remain in a regulated, lawful, democratic country.

Even then, they are welcome to protest for ideals that they reject if thats what they want. The issue is that they are only there because of the ability to take cover in a large crowd in order to show their frustrations with society through violent acts and destruction, not caring how this stains the goals of the crowd they hide in.

If they were actually behind the ideals of the Occupy movement and/or did not want to stain its message with violence, they would not be ashamed or afraid to show their faces. Wear all black, show your colours, but expose your face like all the other brave protesters. This will take a weapon out of the hands of the state controlled infiltrators to purposely entice and start mayhem in order to give their cohorts behind police lines a reason to attack.
