I agree there should be some sort of disruption. But not the kind of amount to where it can sabotage the movement. Change requires patience. I understand the urge to actually approach the source directly and effectively. But take into consideration the sort of attention you can draw towards the NYPD or any PD. The movement is useless if people are constantly being arrested. The most effective way to reach change for something like this is proper education towards the people with no knowledge of the situation. We are the 99%? No. We are the 0.7% trying to gather the 99% so we can gain the upperhand. Thats when massive disruption should occur. When we have a majority of the 99% so we can actually fight back. So right now is a time to educate. The fact that people are out there right now sleeping, holding signs, chanting, being there, making noise, etc is the attention grabber that won't sabotage the movement. Blocking the bridge on the other hand got a good percentage of the movement arrested which only grabs more attention to mainstream news to use against the movement if need be. Also, I was watching interviews on the public that are out there. Some people don't know what they are saying. People out there shouldn't agree to be interviewed on camera, if they are not confident enough or not well informed and educated enough to make a proper statement on the matter. People have to not be afraid of not knowing. They have to fight for knowledge. Then fight for freedom.

agreed, we need sub forums and a wiki and to do a lot of homework that should have been done before the protests started.
