Oakland is only the Beginning | #OccupyUnveiled

A lot has happened during OccupyOakland: tear gas, flash bangs, rubber bullets and numerous arrests by Police - while protesters have tried to remain non-violent, some have resorted to tagging Whole Foods and Wells Fargo and even throwing Molotov cocktails. Things are just getting started; however, the source of this new found aggression from protesters is directly linked to Scott Olson. An Iraq War Veteran who was a victim of Police brutality and remains in critical condition.
Below are photos of the vandalization:

However, these pictures DO NOT represent the entire movement:

Other pictures cause concern if not fear in some:




This last picture from Oakland sends a chilling reminder of a past video:



Perhaps the video is a rude comparison; that's just what came to my mind. It's best if you take the comparison as nothing more than paranoia. Please note we are not making a Hitler Youth comparison like others have of the video!

What comes to your mind? What do you think of the kids participation? Do you think its good for younger kids to get involved - do these kids understand what OWS is about? There are a lot of underlying questions about the kids, we assume they have parental consent. Hopefully, their parents are in the crowd with them.

Here is one of the most interesting OWS posters we've seen.
