Just take a look at the OWS facebook page. These people are absolute lunatics.
The dots for these groups all lead back to a Marxist political party that wants to get rid of capitalism and go full socialism with a guaranteed income for all Americans. (PSL - Party for Socialism and Liberation)

They seem to have their fingers in many social issues protests these days which means they are getting money and plenty of it.

The "protests" in St Louis, LA and New York are run by some of the same Anarchist groups, Unions and Socialist groups that ran the Occupy crowds - the rest of the folks that blindly follow them are just Cannon Fodder.

Evidence from photos, video, social-media posts and interviews suggests it was a single group, desperate to ‘turn up the anger’ at otherwise-peaceful protests.|The Daily Beast 12/23/14


This is a business for the 'protest' leaders ..... it's run over Social Media with nasty hashtags with a main goal of fomenting Anger and gathering large crowds.

They just had another shooting in St Louis - Social Media brought out the crowds with their bags full of rocks instantly. There is nothing "organic" or grass roots about any of this .... it's all orchestrated.

This is the same argument used for nearly every protest. The people really are pissed whether you believe it or not.

I did a bit of googling myself. Several different anarchist groups have the same headquarter address in SF.
But the flow of money is shrouded in other activist groups with no single name popping up.

And the irony of this...headed by a White guy

Personally, I think that police work attracts bullies and people with chips on their shoulders, from all races, which is why I think police need to be watched..body cameras, everything recorded, etc.

But you also have a group of people out there, that is largely young and African American, who basically seem to think that all rules are optional for them because their ancestors were brought here on slave ships, and fighting the police is their right or mission.
From what I gather it is a NYC police officer that made the connection.

Activists jobs are to INCITE the mobs.

Sure these people are taking to the streets to further a Marxist group's political aspiration only they don't know it.

Incite enough people and you will start to see civil unrest all across the US.

Unfortunately where it comes to the government most people are in some way unless you are at the top.

Do you feel like you are a victim to our tax policies?

By 100x I assume you're referring to black on black homicide rates. But the majority of protesters I've seen in pics are white, I assume it's the OWS crowd.

OWS does have some money, IIRC they raised quite a bit via donations. That could explain the professionally made signs.
