The Occupy movement has spawned an awful lot of crime. Starting with the riots and then moving on to illegal encampments, rapes, assaults, and now a total of almost 100 arrests nationwide in the USA for conspiracy, arson, robbery, and terrorism.

And you want them to be MORE radical?

Welcome back Mr. C. Missed ya.

Street protests are useless.

The time and effort would have been better spent coming up with a plan, and then spent getting everyone to agree it was a good plan.

Protests seem to be more about social activity of like minded people, than an effort to have something changed.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

Ultimately, that was it's only benefit: meeting other radicals.

Not to be down on the fun, but isn't it easier to meet like minded people online, then meet up with people that are local?
Rather than standing around for days out in the cold?

Welcome back Mr. C. Missed ya.

Thanks dude, miss you guys too. I lurk now and then, honest I do

I miss your radical left to the extremist right these days!

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

100 arrests? Woah.

That's just for the terrorism-class stuff. It's into the several thousands for plain old arrests and citiations.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

Crack down on Occupy and the crime rate will... be the exact same.

Perhaps. But at least the parks will smell better and the jails will cut off all of the ugly dreadlocks.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

Anyhow, 0 arrests here, and 0 fines. 0 injuries, etc.

Nope. You really ought to check Google on this kind of thing before you post it.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

I'd say the effect has only been positive, with several people getting to eat when they otherwise wouldn't have that day.

I will concede that the homeless took advantage of the Occupy camps. That didn't hurt too much aside from it would've been nice if the Occupy bunch had rented portable toilets instead of polluting the parks with excrement.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

Other than that, tame as hell.

If that's your idea of tame then I stand by my previous stance that you'd make a fine Marine.
