(31,233 posts)after about 2 weeks, neither were the American people. Perhaps the occupants should take a long hard look at themselves to see why the "movement" was such a huge failure in this country. They're still occupying abroad, but then they actually know what they're upset about, and have the fortitude to stick it out. A bunch of American kids & Anarchist wannabes, smoking pot and bangin' on bongos in the park, does not a movement make, that was Woodstock.
If it consoles you to try and redirect the blame to DOJ, DHS, IBM or anyone other than the participants for the colossal failure that is OWS, then do what makes you feel better. It made me queasy when I saw the Ron Paul signs, but when they booed a black civil rights legend off the stage, I knew this "movement" was a crock. After that, I had absolutely no sympathy for them, whatsoever. You lost a lot of people that day. It might make you feel good to rewrite history, but there are enough people here who know that Occupy and its participants were full of shit, from the start.
