Just Ordinary Everyday Americans?

The Occupy movement is flawed.

I recently read an article in the Time magazine. It said that the Occupy Wall Street movement started with anarchists and other people with less than sterling motives.

Then, the "99%" of Americans (or as they put it, the silent majority) joined in. What I want to know is, who's causing all the trouble in Oakland and other places?

Anarchists? Kids who just want to complain about anything? All I know is that it wasn't me and I'm theoretically one of the silent majority. How can the protests be pure with all this stuff going on? Occupy Coachella Valley members....what, exactly, do you want to see happen? And how will it happen?
