I do not feel it is a successful protest because I don't think they have a message, as with Occupy.

My main issue is that no-one called me racist for saying the bums staying at Olympic plaza should get a job, why is this any different? To me, the protests are very similar. People are seeing racial undertones where there are not any.

I don't think I have even piped up in this thread and said they are lazy bums and should get a job, I have simply said that it would not be racist for me to do so.
