Post #10 is fact, you can't refute that with facts about other events. It happened, accept that those things happened and deal with it.
The OWS does indeed advocate and encourage this behavior of vandalizing property. Completely valid point.
This is not true.
Business stoppage like shutting down the port of LA was an openly stated goal, that wasn't an accident or byproduct of a protest. It was completely avoidable, don't start a protest with the goal of shutting down the port and it probably won't happen.
Learn your history, these same things have happened throughout our nations history. Ever heard of a little thing called the Boston Tea Party?
These very things have changed history and one of them you are claiming to be a part of. You don't even know your own history!
Great, now we're getting somewhere. I agree that there was indeed instances of violence at Tea Party events. We've seen a couple links proving that those things did happen.
Now, based on FACT there have been way more instances of violence at OWS events. There have been hundreds, maybe a thousand instances of violence and many thousands of arrests at OWS events.
I'm saying that the Tea Party events were nowhere near as violent as the OWS have been and the number of people arrested at Tea Party events has been miniscule compared to the OWS protests.
If you have numbers to prove me wrong then please, answer my original question back in post #8 and prove me wrong. I would LOVE to see numbers showing how many people were arrested at Tea Party events compared to OWS protests.

Overall the protestors are peaceful. You can sit and watch live stream of it quit frequently. There are the fringe and those who provoke and no matter your cause you will always have that. So trying to pin that solely on OWS, is in your case.......FAIL.
