Occupy Oakland is trying to figure out how to deal with destructive vandalism
I hope they succeed. If they don't, the could quickly lose support of many in the community who are otherwise on their side.

12:30 p.m. Anti-vandalism proposal to go to full camp meeting
Campers have reached an anti-vandalism consensus and will likely return to how to stop the vandals at tonight's 6 p.m. general assembly for a vote. They are currently voting on when/how to apologize to business owners.
Milani, a camper who did not want to give a last name, spoke against apologizing to businesses. She said it wasn't just outsiders committing vandalism.
"The person I saw putting toilet paper up, they're a facilitator at the general assembly. The person spray painting, they're on the events committee."
Another camper disagreed, and proposed starting a "good neighbor" committee

2. Simple: pressure the PTB to quit planting agents provocateurs

That'll solve the vandalism problem in no time.

5. Interesting chain of events
Cops brutalize protesters.
They're ordered to stop, citing that no laws are being broken.
Bang! All of a sudden, laws start being broken.
It's obvious what they're doing.
:whatever:

11. Citizen's arrests and handover to police.
It's odd how there are never any police around when these guys do their destructive bullshit. Film them doing it, detain them for doing it, hand them and the videos over to the cops. Problem solved.

12. I think we need to put vandalism in perspective. After all, pre-Revolutionary War
activists were notorious vandals.
See: Son of Liberty (purported to have been started by Samuel Adams). They met under the cover of darkness to plot their actions...They tore down houses, started fires, threw bricks, publicly hounded and humiliated tax collectors & businessmen, incited a shoot out, tarred & feathered and destroyed property on privately owned ships.
I find the Black Bloc glass breaking tactics an annoyance when it interferes with peaceful actions. I think that they are cowards for only showing themselves under cover of other movements. In the 60s, organizations like The Weathermen were not parasites on non-violent organizations.

A good 'ol fashioned ass whoopin' could cure what ails them.
Well, maybe not, but it would make SOMEBODY feel better.

Stop lying about causing the damage and start acting like human beings would be a good start.

Treat them the same as the destructive Tea Partiers were treated. Oh, wait... :rotf:

Every other phrase over there is "agent provocateurs," and I'm sick of it. It's not flying DUmmies, you own all of this. A conservative is not likely to go undercover and throw bricks into businesses. It's not in his makeup. I could never vandalize someone's personal property, no matter how much I want to make you look bad. I respect other people's stuff.

If by "agent provocateurs" they mean people who are going to expose the disgusting shit they do, then yeah, guilty as charged, DUmmies.
Sorry, all the shit that's been happening is all on your side of the house. Deal with it.

Don't you think the anarchists and assorted criminals are smart enough to wait until there aren't any cops in sight, you stupid tool?

What sprang to mind was Goober yelling "CITIZENS' ARREST! CITIZENS ARREST! CITIZENS' ARREST" at Barney. One the funniest episodes.

No, that would be Goober's rope-sucking brother Gomer.

They did it they should own up tp it. Then again they wouldn't be usefull idiots if they did.

Then again, what the hell do they ever own up to?
I suppose they take credit for Obama's presidencytakeover, but only when it suits their agenda.
