As saddened I am by this, I would like to point out, though, that the protest movement has quickly become just like Occupy, where there are now significant pockets of people taking advantage of the movement to simply cause chaos and unrest unrelated to advocating responsibly for change.

Perhaps they have some remotely legitimate grievance, but more so they're bent on taking advantage of the situation to break windows, hurl petrol bombs, etc. because they're "young and restless".

It is difficult for the police and government to distinguish which is which until every Saturday night when the "action" erupts. How is a movement to handle these types of actors in their midst?
