In reply to the discussion: Protesters again take to uptown streets (of Charlotte) [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)for Charlotte--and I've provided links and pics in this thread to prove that. The Occupy people even got permits and the police were very helpful. The police allowed them to camp and gave them porta potties. Still, only a few Professional Complainers showed up. Most people were all down with the HOPE train, not the Complain train.
The protest was a failure. Occupy is shitting the bed, because they don't have any solutions, just gripes. It's their own damn fault. They started out as THOUSANDS with a valid beef, and now they're just dozens. Why? Because all they do is whine. They have no leadership, they have no focus, they have no direction, they have no abiding motivation, and they allow assholes like those black bloc jerks and other assorted Pissers in the Punch to co-opt their spotlight and make them look like a bunch of moronic weasels.
I had high hopes for them at the outset. Now I see them as like the Tea Party, slightly less meanspirited, but every bit as dumb as a box of Tea Party rocks. They had such an opportunity to make a real difference, but they blew it totally.
People look to leaders with solutions, not malodorous whiners in masks.
