This article has been edited to reflect that Zuccotti Park is a privately owned park. My apologies to the readers.
First let me state I am all for peaceful protests. In fact I am very outspoken about the need for people to take to the streets in protest. The problems I have are not with legitimate protests but with the lack of consideration by some protesters themselves.
Take the latest out of New York for example. Typically the unions and others are jumping up and trying to denounce the move by Mayor Bloomberg to oust the occupiers from Zuccotti Park at 1 am last night. NYC ousts occupiers.
Seemingly this was by design to break up the movement itself right?
Wrong.
