The arson, grafitti and vandalism that occur alongside these movements are normally brought about by punks who want to have fun destroying things and hide behind the legitimate movement.

At worst, the punks are sent in by the opposition (agents provovateurs) to tar all by the same brush.

There was a guy in my yoga class who could do handstand pushups, first time I ever saw it.
My favorite part is where he called us pussies. That was rad.

A lot of people don't realize that fitness and strength are very different things. If you weigh 150 lbs then it shouldn't take much to do handstand pushups. I was pressing 275 lbs in overhead press about 10 years ago.

In the end the legitimacy is not going to count either way because the victor rewrites the history.

That is a pretty narrow status quo view in my opinion UD.
Seeing as I am sure that you don't consider Billboards and public handbills, advertisements or the constant and prevalent "media presence" as graffiti, or the litter and visual noise as vandalism. but folks that live constantly under the signs and pressure to buy, and to consider themselves less than human because they don't own the newest...
Painting their neighborhoods/city's and spaces with their Ideals and their slogans is empowering. the fact that one group of us would view them as punks only shows how much we have become numb and tolerant of a form of graffiti and disrespect because of market value, and that to think otherwise is to be socially irreverent.
Bankers are Punks, petty jerks that want to catch you not "obeying" or depositing your money with them.

as far as the agents provocateurs angle. that is the SOP of a tyrannical regime and is to be expected.

edit to add:
or to put it diffrently;
If I'm a punk, you are a complacent citizen who will standby as the fascist once again attempt to seize/maintain power.

So zero-point-one percent used the cover of the mob to break windows. I suppose that means the mob was ninety-nine-point-nine percent pure of heart.

Any arson, grafitti or vandalism on property not owned by the 1% causes economic loss to people who may not have the insurance and cash reserves to recover promptly. If your car is reposessed by a banker or burned by a thrill-seeking punk, you're going to have trouble driving to work the next morning either way. But yeah, billboards, fair game. Especially if you're wickedly funny.

just how big is your pussy muscle?
question:
Is having a Big Pussy as desirable as having a big Dick?
I like big dick from time to time, big ones for sucking, small ones for fucking.
and I like Beaver too. Rather not eat a big-ol-musshy, hot-dog in the hallway, no beuno!
never even hear even bull dykes bragging about how many golf balls they can shove up there...

It's all a matter of personal opinion, but I'd much rather put up with the violence from people marching for justice than from the crowds after any professional sports game. And I'd venture to guess that the number of fans that cause problems at sporting events are as much the minority as are those of the OWS protesters. Just saying...
