What's FJ's opinion on The Occupy movement?
I was at Occupy Wallstreet the first Saturday ( the first day it started) and went every Saturday since. A lot of the people there were college students and political activists that gave very strong and intelligent arguments on the federal government having too much power over the people, that big bank bailouts were blatant acts to help the rich and that big business has too much influence on legislation.
Sadly as the weeks went by it was slowly being overtaken from protesters who were beaten senseless by small dicked police officers to harmless hippie drum circles and hipsters screaming memes into the street. Nevertheless I was still a supporter until the very end.

nois **User deleted account** (06/22/2012) [-] Fan of the cause, not the movement.
Occupy Wall Streets main goal seems to be targeting the fact that the 99% of americans have a vastly lower amount of wealth than the 1%. I am inclined to agree that there is a problem with that. And most Americans should feel that way as well.
If capitalist and conservative ideas are supposed to work correctly, the wealth is supposed to trickle down. Its not. So to this. Occupy Wall Street is in the right.
They however lose me with their whiny, extremely aggressive, and disrespectful behavior. I get your mad. But don't shit on a police car asshole.

Actions against OWS by police occur after protesters have done something illegal. Rape and sexual abuse is tolerated in these camps and at least the camp in my city siphons electricity from the city. And the famous cop who pepper sprayed protesters sitting down at Berkeley? Thats not the whole story. Watch the whole video and it is revealed that the protesters were preventing the officer from making a legal arrest and warned the protesters that if they do not get out of the way he is legally authorized to use pepper spray.
