Wall Street Protests

I don't think one or two or a hundred criminal types represent ALL of the Occupy movement. It's no more accurate to attempt to portray them ALL as losers and bums than it is to portray them ALL as nurses (because some are involved with Occupy) or ALL as union folk (because some unions endorsed it). Not everyone on Wall Street is a bad guy either. Plenty of people that work there are just trying to survive like the rest of us.

There are bad people everywhere. And a heck of a lot more in our government that should be...thus my personal outrage and empathy with OWS.

ETA: All the trespass charges are part and parcel of protesting so you lost me right there, Merc.
