These folks in Seattle breaking shit. Not a big fan of that. (LIVE VIDEO)

KIRO 7 LIVESTREAM in Seattle.
Global Revolution LIVESTREAM from Seattle.

Not everyone who protests anything is my buddy. There's a difference between protesters or Occupy folks and folks who are, for whatever reason, hell-bent on causing mayhem and damage.

I am for constructive, nonviolent protests. A buncha people wanna dress up in black and break windows and trash things....that's not politics. That's a sports riot. Mindless.

2. Thanks- on the streaming video link I just posted, a bystander was just...

...cleaning up the garbage the "protesters" had strewn all over the street. Picking up garbage with his bare hands and putting it back in the trash cans. Looks like he'd been out jogging. The reporter went over to him asked him what he thought about the people doing this.

"Look" he said, "I can understand their protest against globalization or whatever but breaking things...there's got to be a better way to do this."

I thought the guy was spot on. When the reporter turned away the man, a complete bystander who just happened to be out, was still picking up trash and putting it away.

5. There were

also agent provocateurs that infiltrated groups and, depending on the situation, would incite the members to commit acts of violence. They did not just gather information.

6. Counterpoint: they are only in the news because they are breaking things

Not an advocate of this sort of thing of course.

7. Two words:

Agent provocateur.

Notice how they're covered most of he time? Various law enforcement agencies around the country have admitted to using agent provocateurs.
