re: #172 NJDhockeyfan

Every time a story comes out of OWS assholes raping, damaging public and private property, making anti-Semitic speeches, arrested for planning a bomb attack on a bridge, shitting on police cars, banks, inside store bathroom walls, etc the answer always seems to be It’s just one person! Why is that?

OWS was a big eye opener for me. A lot of people on “my” side are willing to make excuses and turn a blind eye to some really horrific stuff if they think it may advance their political agenda. It’s a toxic mentality and ultimately it’s self destructive but it’s an irresistible impulse to way too many people.
