Pathetic...

Protesters agreed that the de-escalation committee would seek non-violent methods to protest. They requested that the committee be diverse and specifically discouraged too much participation by white heterosexual males.

Where are they going to find enough spoiled little whiners for OWS if they rule out the straight while male college students? Gays are too busy pushing the homo agenda, and the granola chicks are too busy hugging trees. Minorities seem to be smart enough not to waste time on OWS.

I don't think there are a whole lot of straight males with all of those twinkle fingers flying around.

I love these guys, the mainstream media needs to give these folks their own show, to let all Americans know who and what the 20% of Americans, who identify themselves as liberals, truly are.

The only reason the granola chicks don't show up is because they'll be forced to socialize their bodies to the sex-starved white males.

"To keep the noise level down, protesters use hand signals instead of vocal commands to demonstrate opinion. “Twinkle fingers,” performed by wiggling fingers at ear level, shows approval. “Fact check,” which imitates the rapid-fire of two revolvers, requests a confirmation of logistics. The “block”, which brings the forearms into an X shape, “is very powerful, very rare. It shows your opposition to a proposal is very strong, and that you think the proposal goes against the guidelines so strongly that you would be prepared to leave the movement over it,” a protester explained to the crowd."
All that's missing is show-tune background music. Silly enough to remind me of that commercial where the single guy anticipating a flash mob starts dancing in the middle of a train station.

This sounds like something out of my daughter's kindergarten class. I guess the maturity level is about the same.

Kudos to the minorities smart enough to keep away from the goofy white kids.

Seems pretty bizarre. Considering that 96-97% of Americans identify as hetero, how is it productive to discourage heterosexual males from participating?

They should make up 4% then. This way the population does not suffer from bad ANOVA karma.
