In reply to the discussion: So anything OWS does is right and everything police do is wrong [View all]Yo_Mama
(8,303 posts)I notice that as the crowds shrink, the actions get more extreme.
Most of the country isn't going to support these actions by the OWS, and all the posters here who are ignoring the attack on city hall, the breaking down of the fence and the attacks on the cops are so far away from the mainstream that it is depressing.
I don't know what to think about all this, except that OWS Oakland is hurting the image of the OWS national movement.
Most of the US population are extreme moderates. They will never condone what is being done by OWS even if they are distraught at what has happened to the country and even if they strongly suspect that the police are often over the edge.
Most people don't think that destruction of property is appropriate, because they don't want their own destroyed. And people don't like pictures of crowds and fires, because they think it is too dangerous.
