re: #426 Rightwingconspirator

It’s worth remembering that the general Assembly and Occupy leadership is not empowered to remove other protesters who are unlike or more extreme in tactics than OWS. Like say Code Pink, or Anarchists. And more to the point-Neither is anyone else! It’s a first amendment free for all. At most the police will physically divide protesters from counter protesters. But nobody is forced to depart except when arrested. So OWS in whatever city is stuck with whoever shows up. And will get branded with their antics.

Yeah, you mentioned that last night, I just thought it was worth posting my opinion on what I’ve been seeing during this whole thing. Glad to see you made it to work in good time. ;-)
