Occupy Oakland was infiltrated by Vandals and tried to confront them.

1. That's great

It makes for such terrible news when a peaceful demonstration gets marred by acts of vandalism. Often, it's people out to cause trouble with no stake in the protest, and it's used as an excuse to bring in tear gas and riot police.

I'm glad people are standing up and announcing they aren't going to be marginalized because a few creeps can't behave.

2. We need to get the Occupy Security, Occupy Vets to grab the taggers/vandals and hold them for

cops. The vandals do nothing but hurt the cause, turning allies into foes. (Some of them may be cops or right-wingers, either way, they need to be stopped, peacefully.)

3. I totally agree and it should be a priority, soon.

I have no doubt they are doing this for the precise purpose of inciting riots and discrediting the movement.
