(62,325 posts)actions of a few people late in the day AFTER most of the occupiers had already left and which those of us who followed the events of that day and the next day knew nothing about because it was so insignificant compared to everything else that happened last weekend?
Where is the connection between those few people, none of whom were arrested btw, odd that since over 400 real occupiers were arrested for simply being there, and the entire movement? An event not even known about by most of those who were there, nor by any of the tens of thousands across the world who were watching in solidarity that day? A very minor event that no one would noticed, had the Andrew Breitbarts, Drudge, Fox et al not chosen to make it THE event of the entire weekend? Anyone know who they were eg, or why there were no cops at City Hall, who when asked, claimed to have busy at the YMCA. They lied about that also, btw, what happened at the Y.
I'm just not getting the connection between a four or five people and a worldwide movement at all. Although I get why the far right would pounce on those few people and attempt to smear a progressive movement they absolutely hate.
