So tell me, ...what did this guy do to deserve it?

124. Indeed. It's a huge coalition, rarely attempted before.

If I was *leading* a social justice movement (unlike OWS, which doesn't really have leaders), it would look somewhat like OWS, only with more effort placed on taking care of the health, and hygiene, of the group, and more of a focus placed on preservation of the commons, and more respectful discussion.

Where OWS seems to be failing in the public PR war, IMHO, is that there does not seem to be proportionate representation of the elements of the melting pot, as least, not in the media sphere. I've only been to one occupy site (Portland), and the place was horribly trashed: part homeless camp, part drug market, part "festival" site, no respect for the grounds, fights breaking out every few minutes, people screaming slogans about policy issues... not exactly a place to find "nurses, construction workers, fire fighters, pilots, school teachers, students".

What would you say the ideal OWS group experience is like, as demonstrated by which location?
