Dear DUmmies:
Here is why you should care about flag burning. You are trying to get the majority of the country to believe the OWS represents them. So far, polls show Americans identify with the Tea Party. You already have your work cut out for you when the news show your members destroying property & stealing from those who have been generous enough to give you a place to stay when they absolutely don't have to. As you have no real substance and no clear message, you've got to find other ways to convince the rest of the country, "hey look, we're just like you!". Now you can certainly try to convince yourselves it's some agent provocateur stealing from churches, destroying property, tearing down fences, pissing & ****ing in pubic, shitting on police cars, burning flags, etc. Except, there's the whole matter of the massive piles of garbage, the stench (you've got people admitting they don't bathe for weeks), the vermin (well okay in DC it's mostly been shipped to Virginia...I guess Marines at Quantico can just use them for target practice).
To wit: City clean up crews...you know, union workers the people you're supposed to support 110%...put their freaking health at risk picking up your filth,
Occupy Los Angeles Cleanup Hazardous to Workers' Health.
"The Occupy Los Angeles cleanup was an absolutely disgusting experience for sanitation workers. Los Angeles actually welcomed the Occupy folks and tried to work with the protestors, but the protestors just could not act like civilized human beings. They filled the park with human waste and trash and made it a health hazard...Sanitation workers wearing hazmat suits and masks moved into City Hall park Wednesday to clean up tons of trash, debris and human waste after police evicted the 2-month-old Occupy LA tent camp..."There's simply no way the opposition could sneak in and pile up that much garbage to make you mother earth protectors look like slobs. So flag burning isn't really a good PR move for you...and drum circles...they're SO 5 decades ago.
Oh, and there's also this little gem that happened just north of me a while back (go on youtube & search for occupy, this is one of many...this behavior goes back years and years)
