Excuses Made for Occupy Protesters : Afternoon
As things have moved along today, we have continued to hear about the day of action that the Occupy movement called for. In the midst of this, Maxine Waters, Democratic Representative in California has said that the crimes that have happened at the protests are "life and it happens."
Does she have a point that a few are the ones that are a distraction from the message, or are those that commit crimes a bigger picture of what occupy is all about?
