That's probably a good thing, although unintentional - most there wanted simply to participate in peaceful protest, however there are bad apples in every group - it's what got the medias attention finally, which then brought about much more participation all across the country.

I think you are going to be amazed at how many people end up sympathizing with this protest. Whats really funny is their messages aren't that far off from the Tea Party's populace-type messages. The big difference is that the Tea Party is funded by the people and groups that the OWS crowd is protesting about.
