Patience tested at protest sites

News from The Associated Press:

"Fed up with petty crime, the all-night racket of beating drums, the smell of human waste and the sight of trampled flowers and grass, police and neighbors are losing patience with some of the anti-Wall Street protests around the U.S."

The popularity of this movement can turn around if the movement overplays its advantage, which not only is possible but likely. I think it would be more creative and more effective to hold teach ins, have daily noon rallies in huge numbers, keep the narrative moving rather than stagnating in a park. But I'm just an old fart, what do I know?
