The primary purpose of any public demonstration is to call attention to an issue. OWS, in spite of all the criticism directed at it, has been eminently successful in that endeavor. Unfortunately some of the publicity has been negative, largely as the consequence of poor planning, specifically the absence of sufficient toilet (porta-johns) and trash disposal facilities. This oversight enabled the corporarate-controlled mainstream media to focus on the "shitters" as representative of the entire demonstration, creating an impression which enabled the police to be less inhibited in their conduct.You didn't find the class separation interesting? You didn't find the locale of the big meetings interesting? You didn't find the mentality of personal vs private (whatever that is) property interesting?
