Specifically, what I'm saying is that it's very easy to discredit a group of people if they lose control of their own narrative. This is just one place where I don't agree with the approach anonymous is taking (if this is even "officially" them). I'm glad someone is standing up to the banks, but the banks have bullying and stealing down to a science already. Ghandi made a far far bigger difference than someone like Robin Hood could have. I mean, RH was a fictional character, no? So, if he stole money from the rich and gave it to the poor I don't see how on earth they would be able to spend it. I mean, this was a time when trial by water was considered a wholly accurate system of justice.
I think OWS was pretty effective at changing the narrative of the entire nation, and all of the terrible things that have happened to the protesters is just making that narrative stronger (and the injustice more pronounced). However, whoever is doing this, just looks like they didn't do their homework - which doesn't strike me as legitimate.
