That is totally false. I say that living and working in the city where Occupy Oakland is. Their protests are damaging to small business around the area, they are costing the already broke city millions of dollars and giving the city / city officials a hell of a bad name. There is probably more.

I totally support the right to protest and I understand that it will always come at a cost to others. I dont mind giving up some of my conveniences if I feel the return would be beneficial...at this point, I feel the protests arent going anywhere and should stop. "Occupy" needs to have some meeting with some end goals in mind.

And folks that are not supportive of this movement....do you think what is going on with banks / big corporations and their influence on the government is right?
