I mean shoot, you don't see this kind of stuff happen in Occupy Las Vegas... because they actually know how to protest smartly without getting violent.

You talk to the organizers there and you see they actually do shit the right way, by informing the police, getting permits, and doing shit in general the right way...

in an area that's likely a lot worse then Oakland.

If most of the groups weren't headed by such hardcore anarchists (and yes there always are leaders even in a mob) shit like this wouldn't happen.

The large difference is, the people here know what they're doing.  Though probaby because the people here have run protests before, and smart ones that have worked and i've been a part of.

I mean shoot, if anything the police in general LOVE the Occupy Wallstreet protesters when they aren't intentionally provoking them.   Why?  Money man, you know what kinda overtime these guys are probably rarking in?  Largely just to stand there and watch the protestors?

They're going out of their way to avoid bankrupting local buisnesses as well unlike some of the other protesters.

Kas, you ever been to Oakland? It's pretty nasty, and that's coming from someone who used to teach in Newark, NJ.

Las Vegas has the highest unemployment rate in the country for a city with over 1 million people... though if it's bad as you say, i can only imagine how many rocks are lieing around.
