Ain't EVEN gonna try to "shed some light" as there are already way too many in this Forum that have tried and convicted, in their own minds, those involved in the Occupy Movement, no matter the location or actual involvement, or lack thereof, in the violence that is being reported. The "liberal" main stream media that has been on the castigating end by so many in this Forum in other threads has jumped on the proverbial bandwagon and pretty much condemned the Occupy Oakland protesters en masse. That being said, there are still sources available that posit otherwise:
I know I'm going to catch a lot of crap for putting these links out there, but I will NEVER be convinced there is only one side to ANY story, and, to be totally honest, I really don't give a rat's behind what all you anti-OWS'ers think about it. Until all the facts are known and the misinformation, be it intentional or accidental, is sorted out and made known, I choose to err on the side of being open minded enough to at least hear both sides.

You know, I debated on whether or not to put any more effort into this one, but I just couldn't let it go. Grady, if you are, in fact, a Marine (retired, active, reserve, whatever), you know the Corps' values require you to have

Your deliberate attempt to make it look like I was making a disparaging remark to LJ flies in the face of your own Corps' values. Have a nice day.
Why don't we get back on topic.. this thread is about the 300 dirty hippies that thought they could just take what they wanted and wound up arrested. It's not about Marines, Lady Jazzer (she never contributes anything but stupid sh**ty-assed slams)or the Tea Party.
Sometimes I think Zhawke is boinking these Occupy creeps, he's so in love with them.

One can only imagine the widespread media, political and intellectual condemnation of Republicans and conservatives if, after the inauguration of Barack Obama, they had gone on a violent and vicious tear all over the nation as did Democrats and liberals after the inauguration of President Donald Trump. They committed acts such as assaulting Trump supporters, setting fires and stoning police. Suppose Republicans/conservatives had carried signs that read "F—- Obama" or talked about "blowing up the White House." The news media, instead of calling them protesters, would have labeled them evil racists, obstructionists and everything else except a child of God. The reason for the difference in treatment is simple. Republicans and conservatives are held — and hold themselves — to higher standards of behavior. By contrast, Democrats and liberals are held — and hold themselves — to less civilized standards of behavior. Let's look at some of the history of conservative and liberal behavior.
One of the nastiest more recent liberal events was the Occupy movement around the nation."...
