Wow, noted he had the location wrong, everything else is accurate. Title didn't say convicted, just said charged. Get a grip, conviction should be forthcoming!

Now why didn't we have any tea party problems like this?

True.

However, the OWS is more bad than good.

This is the problem.

I saw one protestor video where he made sense, he was objecting to the system overall, the banking system and its interaction with government, the power of government creating the abuses these corporations were using, but... he was heckled by some, ignored by many... He didn't preach a message of "fault and hand out", he preached a message of responsibility and separation of involvement with government and business.

These children do not want to hear "responsibility", look at their "statements of the 99%" they have produced. They do not take any responsibility for their actions, they blame their position in life on those of the "elite" and while the "elite" have hampered many through their involvement with government, the problems of these "99%" are not because of the interference of such directly, but because of some "terrible" decisions these people have made and their lack of responsibility to those decisions.

I sympathize with the specific aspects of government mandate and involvement to which such a marriage of corporation has created, but to ignore personal responsibility in the matter is not simply childish, but it is irresponsible. This is why many conservatives see these OWS protesters as brats demanding handouts.

We all deal with the problems of governments relation with business every day, but it does no good to antagonize and attack business, in fact it only serves them as they are not the ones who have control. These idiots protesting need to be protesting GOVERNMENT and its encroachment and dealings with business as they are the only ones who allow business to truly gain power over the people.

This is why we see these kids as stupid, idiotic morons who serve the purpose of their ire by ignoring the true power to which creates it. This is why many look to these OWS protesters as being nothing more than stupid kids, paid for antagonists, puppets for agenda and random anarchist seeking disarray.

They are easily manipulated, emotional to the core, without logic or purpose and this is why Hollywood is involved, why many political organizations are taking on the cause and using it for their purpose. They know these are idiots to be directed by emotional claims and demands and they are stupid enough to incite and continue through with actions that will serve their cause.

These are STUPID PEOPLE. While some may have valid points I can respect, they have latched on through idiocy and emotion and I would rather see them be mowed over by the "status quot" than let their mob based mentality drive to any fruition.

If their movement were to succeed, the people would suffer a great injustice on the level of the inquisition and the Salem witch trials.

You don't support idiots rambling because they may get a few points right, as if you do, you spell your own doom.

Yep, this is what democracy looks like...and it only took a few month to illustrate what these leftists/anarchists/socialists/commies are all about.
It will only get worse from here on out. Obama needs something to declare martial law about.

Has his trial been scheduled? I bet not so conviction will be tough before that day. Of course, he has been charged and the communicator from the Occupy headquarters admitted he did it. Come on Kat, when did they pass the rule that doesn't allow us to report what we have learned?
