The people at the OWS protests in San Diego, Sacramento, and Los Angeles seem to have attrected most of the homeless. There is nothing wrong with protesting, but when you are acting illegally, pitching a tent and destroying property, then the cops should arrest you. That's what happened in San Diego yesterday. BTW, the OWS crowd are costing busineesses in the downtown area because people seek to avoid the protesters. The busnesses getting hurt are coffee kiosks, eateries, and stores. Sadly, most are small businesses already in peril because of the economy. Here in San Diego people do not seem to care much about the OWS protests.
Note how quickly the folks at moveon.org managed to get their biased video out. There is now too much planning going on IMHO.
