^ here's the thing. I literally walk through these protestors on a daily basis to arrive at my office in PO Square in Boston. So, whether you like it or not, I am informed enough based on 1st hand experience, and unfortunately for you have the right to identify my opinion publically.
Even more unfortunate for you, is the fact that I have already determined your stereotype and I am absolutely blown away that I've wasted another 2.5 minutes of my day responding to your dribble.
Here's the point though - these protestors aren't protesting a goddamn thing. They are, en mass, arriving destinationless, seeking out their demographic and huddling in the pre-desginated "protest" area. They've identified no demands, and have conceded at every opportunity to law enforcements demands.
Sounds like a bunch of filthy pussies, sorry.

They do, don't they? It's a shame, because there's a legitimate gripe somewhere in there, obscured by a mass of dirty hippies playing bongos and generally goofing off.
I know what their message should be, but it seems like they're just whining that they have no money while others do.
Protesting bailouts? That's good. Protesting enormous pay and bonuses for execs of struggling companies, while the working man continually gets laid off and can't find adequate work? That's good. Just hanging around as an unemployed hippie eating free food, who doesn't even know who people like Nancy Pelosi are? That's
not good. And that's what these people come off as.
I actually agree with them, but I don't like the fact that they come off as lazy, dirty hippies who are just whining. Some of them don't even really know what they're protesting, and that hurts the protest. That's why it will accomplish nothing at all.
