Well this won't go over well. Judging by the comments on the article, I can already tell how the press will handle it. Just when the movement was starting to gain some respect, this stunt just brought it a few steps back.

Are the people in charge of organizing the Oakland movement endorsing this? This could easily be something endorsed by opposition to discredit the movement. If it is something that the Oakland OWS team stands behind, then they should be replaced. This is ridiculously stupid.

That is a possibility that came to mind, but I wasn't sure if I was being paranoid or not. I don't know how this could happen without anyone there noticing and asking them to leave. But then, we don't know the whole story. Maybe they were asked to leave, but couldn't be forced since it is public property. You would think someone would call the police.

1. This sucks regardless of whether it is "sanctioned activity" or not.

2. This is the kind of story that Huffpo lives for.
