Ugh. I can't believe they did this right after the church agreed to provide them a shelter. I also really should stop reading the comments on such articles. Just make me so angry.

My husband and I are thinking we need to move to Malta. Starting to really despise this country

I actually don't have a problem with the basis of the Occupy movement. I think as a Catholic that the idea of taking care of the poor and standing up for those who aren't able to stand up for themselves, as well as things like a living wage, are important to me. I've always admired the Church's stance on taking care of the least among us and being agents for social justice and education. However, there comes a point when a movement that is so large, that is taking on so many things, can have fringe elements that simply embrace the anarchy instead of the movement. Occupy was never meant to be an all-encompassing liberal (and I am a social justice liberal on many issues) movement. If they wanted to protest that specific legislative session as part of a pro-choice organization, that would be one thing, but this was simply unnecessary.

Wow.  I recently read an article about some Occupy-ers who desecrated a church that was giving them shelter.  They tore the basin out of a font and just dumped the water out.  They eventually found the basin, but never found it's lid.  The pastor told them they had 24 hours to get their stuff and get out.  He said that even in the 80's, when they gave shelter to homeless crack addicts, no one had ever damaged the church.

I absolutely think the Occupy movement has merits. It's just a shame that certain people have to act this way - it's completely unnecessary and disgusting.

That's so weird. When did it change from being protesting big government/financial institutions to protesting pro-lifers and Catholics?

I had no issue with the basic idea of OWS and the resulting spinoffs.  But then it just spiraled out of control.  In Dallas they had children taken from their parents because they were out in freezing weather, a sex offender got arrested for assaulting a 15-year-old runaway who was living in the camp, and people were getting hurt.  They would interview people and ask them about the issues, and people just had no idea why they were even there.

I wish they had had more organization -- they may have actually made their point.

That's klassy... with a k.  I'd hate to pass judgement on an entire movement because of a few crazies... but it really has had no concrete structure to it for awhile.  They've only been able to maintain the public's attention span for a couple weeks and must feel the need to escalate to more bizarre behavior to bring back the cameras.
