Wow, what nice tolerant people eh?

So I guess with video, size is everything. If you have a giant camera with "Channel X" stenciled on the side people leave you alone, but if you are independent media with a small video camera everyone feels they can shit on you. Fuck those douche bags, it's idiots like that who make people lose sympathy for the occupy movement.

I shot at Occupy Buffalo a couple of nights ago, and they were perfectly fine with it. Why aren't they getting any national coverage?

I think different areas have different dynamics. Occupy Wall Street and occupy Boston don't seem to have a problem with people taking pictures. There seems to be a MAJOR douche factor at Occupy Oakland and some other places that Carlos has documented. It sucks because the dickheads are making the whole movement look bad.

Looks pretty stupid to me.

I have been to a couple of encampments. Vibe is really different in each of them. Cell phones seemed fine in both of them, but pull out anything better and the attitude changes dramatically.

I cannot understand why people think that it's inappropriate to film someones suffering. Did we see people suffering in Egypt, Syria, Libya, Iraq, North Korea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Rwanda, etc... if somebody is suffering it's a sign that something is wrong, it deserves documentation as much as anything else.

What assholes. Glad the mayor finally woke up. Can't wait for the camp to be shut down.

They take over a public place with the intended purpose of uniting the "99%" of the population that they think are sympathizers, yet they have not even one articulate spokesperson to greet peopel with cameras so they can further their cause.

They simply look to be a bunch of drug addicts hired by the extreme Liberal end of the Democratic party.

Not cool. 'Nuf sed.

The protesters have been infiltrated by idiots.

They don't deserve media coverage. Let the cops beat the shit out of them while I turn my camera off.

It would serve them right.
