Definitely the guy in photo number nine. Spooky!
They always say that as long as you're talking, then there is room for improvement. Let's hope that's the case, and focus on the potential of the protests as a forum for conversation that can, in time, lead to change.

I can't decide if the guy in image 9 or the posers in image 5 are more disturbing.

Lucy, I'm not fond of ne'er-do-wells or hooligans, either. At least with cannibals you know what you're dealing with...

I know the premise behind the protests, but when does it end? What is the expected result? Are you just protesting without a cause? I just don't see how they expect to rectify anything.

I agree with the posters here the movement has no real structure or goals. They claim they are anti having a leader but do not understand that any movement from civil rights, to suffrage etc. has always had a powerful leader that orchestrated the effort to achieve goals. Right now it’s simply a big group with no organization—even their website is a shambles.
But then the story falls apart - ..., it will just be a disruption with no positive impact.
Agree with @tokyogai
A protest needs a goal - Civil Rights, Anti-War, Pro-Life all have goals. Until OWS has a goal this is just pointless whining and eye-candy for the nightly news. Even worse, while the purpose is so vague and fragmented, it can be co-opted by some popular figure to just push their own agenda.

It does seem more like an amalgamation of complaints than a streamlined social movement. And I'm sure it doesn't help that, as the article noted, there are protesters who are less than sincere in their participation.

Yes, but it is government regulation and lack of oversight that allows this type of behavior on the part of banks and corporations.
