Well I tried watching the video but grew tired of it when it kept pausing, so I didn't get the gist of what it was about. I do have one question though; where in the article did it say that "Obama endorsed these people"?

Oh gosh, what will the progressives/leftists think of next to promote their Occupy movement?

Welcome to WBFF FOX45 Baltimore!



Do watch the video.
The government wants us to do drugs??? Are there people from the government infiltrating the camps holding guns to their heads and forcing them to take needles, paraphernalia, and drugs and make them shoot up???

You just can't believe some of the excuses these people come up with to explain away their own bad behavior.

In one of the videos linked there was another video within where a Wall Street protester said that some people who were causing trouble inside the camp were being brought to the police and asked the police to take them off their hands, and the police just shrugged their shoulders and walked away. The very people the protesters were screaming at and throwing their garbage at, they now want the police to help them out. What a joke.

She said that she "lives" in the part of the park known as the "ghetto" . She also said that there were about 10 incidents of violence and a rape and talk of these situations are not to take place outside the camp.

Yeah, they don't want the "traitorous" cops around until they need their help.

Bunch of hypocrites.

To those who support the protesters, I mean really support them, what exactly are you doing to show your support besides getting on a forum and propping them up with your words?? Do you sit in front of your TV, in your warm home, where you sleep in a bed, eat proper food, shower every day, and cheer them on???

If you believe in them so much then get out there and join them!!!!

right. But this does raise a few question that point to problems.
#1 problem is that since everyone know that this CAN'T go on all winter as it's presently cobbled together

#2 problem is that it's all cobbled together... there's nothing cohesive about the message.

OWS needs a platform of 3 or 4 core ideas that EVERYONE gets behind
and it needs a second act.
