OWS isn't a Relevant Movement to Change Society and May Hurt Us More then It Helps Us

77. You can relax as you are already wrong. Toweringly so.

I like your pontifications on what 'one' must do and how it is all discipline and 'leaders'. Did you know that the word 'leader' is not in our Constitution? Do you know there is a great reason for that?
The staid old guard in DC spends millions and millions to try to alter the political discourse in this country, they usually fail to do so, the millions are wasted payments to 'consultants' and 'disciplined leaders' who can not accomplish in a year what Occupy has done in a few short months. The 'consultants' get large staff, millions to spend on media, and access to the crony networks and still they fail to do what Occupy does again and again.
A few on DU are freaked out that a few protesters in Oakland torched a flag. Why mercy me! Such a thing is unheard of!
The night that precious cloth was set on fire, OPD arrested more than 400 people only 12 of whom were charged with any crime. So, there were 397 false arrests, 1 flag destroyed. Why are you, OP, not outraged at mass arrests of those who committed no crime?
OPD is 9 years late making court ordered policy changes that were demanded after a corruption scandal which included innocent people framed and imprisoned. OPD has not made the changes. Last week, a judge told OPD they will soon get placed under Federal control and warned the mayor this is imminent, as that is what the settlement 9 years ago requires if OPD does not comply and they did not comply.
So come Summer, OPD will get Federal oversight and Occupy will thrive larger than during the fall.
So all that 'leadership and discipline' at OPD is failing them, failing the people, doing do good. Crappy, corrupt and hapless 'leaders' are worse than enemies in many cases.
So in closing, you look at nearly 400 false arrests and say nothing, you look at one handful of protesters doing an extreme action which harms no person, and you rage on and condemn the protesters, not just the handful, then entire world wide movement. I do not see the consistency nor any ethics in your priorities and rhetoric.
