OCCUPY WALL STREET: Nothing but noise?

Wall StreetImage via Wikipedia
OK, I have been following the “Occupy Wall Street” protesting and am still at a loss to explain what the hell is going on.

I realized people are angry at many things going on in this country but occupying a park near Wall Street sends what message exactly?

In Oakland, California the female mayor first told police to get the protesters out of here and then when the police used some force, she apologized and now sides with the protesters and has told city workers to join the protesters and NOT go to work? The police union sent an open letter to the mayor asking basically WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

Well I am asking the same thing. Going after Wall Street is plain stupid; they will do whatever the hell they want to do. If you want laws enacted to protect the public from Wall Street shenanigans GO TO WASHINGTON DC where such laws can be enacted.

The problem with the protesters is that each one has a different goal which can be absolutely loony to legit but unless the protesters speak with a unified voice it will always sound like a bunch of noise.

And if the protesters are requiring tax dollars to clean up their shit and spend tax dollars to pay police overtime then the silent majority will get pissed and demand that the protesters be sent home or jailed (no food) we are not wasting anymore tax dollars.

Once again, I am all for citizens protesting, it is their right, but unless you get your shit together you are nothing more than young hooligans out for some excitement and we don’t need that in this country right now…

The problem is that too many factions are trying to take control of the protest “spirit” which was genuine but aimless and those factions are all about their own narrow agendas, making the protest and protesters look like a bunch of loonies…all trying to get their different messages out all at once, creating nothing but noise.
