‘No Violence!’: 99 Percenters Stop ‘Black Bloc’ Vandals From Trashing Grocery Store | A common tactic by the American media during protest coverage is to focus on violent, sensationalist incidents. Yesterday, while thousands marched and went on strike in Oakland, a handful of “black bloc” demonstrators tried to vandalize a Whole Foods grocery store. Incensed by this behavior, a group of 99 Percenters surrounded the store and started yelling, “No violence!” The protesters succeeded in stopping the vandals from seriously damaging the store.

I think there are people who insert themselves into various "progressive" movements to create police confrontation and damage. I think they are hired and supported by the 1% to create disruption and disillusionment. They seem to come from outside locations and have the ability to gather up their gear and show up in highly organized groups whenever the 1% are criticized. Anarchists? They would still be trying to develop a consensus somewhere. Sounds like paramilitary. Police. Those looking for excuses to shut Occupy down and discredit it. There is video shot by KRON showing Occupy protesters fighting with these dark dudes. I think Occupy should work with the vets to deal with these right-wing thugs. Inform the police so that their officers in masks don't get hit over the head with a baseball bat:)
