Sorry folks but from here on out everyone with a bandanna will be shunned by the movement. It was obvious to everyone this peaceful movement was infiltrated either by undercover cops trying to instigate violence or some other fringe group. All people like this will be photographed and identified and there identity will be brought in front of the public so that a full investigation by the people can be done to determine if in fact they are undercover agents. WE WILL NOT BE INFILTRATED. And for the record stop using the word violence. Grafitti is graffiti not violence!
You are free to do as you like of course, I was in support of masks until this recent Oakland incident happened all of the actions were committed by people wearing black and bandannas over their face. You can understand the suspicion when stories of undercover cops instigating violence start surfacing. Well I guess it is a tricky situation that needs some further discussion. Thanks for your input on the subject.
I agree 100% judging by the picture on the front page of my local newspaper many of these dipshits are going to do jail time. You need more than a black bandana to hide your identity. I am sure they have been filmed and photographed from every angle.

Some of us need to hide our identity because of the hatred of the opposition. There are many people who work in "the system" that support ows. I wear a mask whenever I hold a political sign or protest in public. The people who matter know who I am.
