Yeah, I don't buy that. It's mostly a bunch of college mushheads, left over hippies and leftists of various stripes (who tend to show up at all protests like this) who are just looking for a reason to protest, rebel a little, feel important by taking the lazy way out, and generally hang out and maybe get laid.
There is nothing really separating this protest from any other lefty protest. The same old groups are there, the same old anti-capitalist message, etc, etc.
Supposedly the one thing that sets this apart is "anonymous" driving some of it. Hactivists are the latest left wing protest craze. The problem is most people don't have a clue what "anonymous" actually is, mistaking it for a real protest group when in reality it's just /b/tards doing it for the lulz.
The people I see interviewed on NY1 (our local news station) seem like stupid rich college kids from around the country. Kids who have daddy’s credit card in their back pocket. They make a section of the city that is hard to get around in even harder for the good working people of New York. I hate them!
