Contradictory information is coming out of the scene in Portland. Portland has seen its own share of protests in the last month and the hippy-filled city will brace for more.
However, it appears that the Occupy Movement is learning a tactic of other Occupy movements: property damage. Just after the riots in Oakland and raid in Washington DC, it now appears that Portland is the next place to see vandalism.
A splinter group has decided that the relatively peaceful ramblings of the main body of the Occupy Protests was not enough. It was time for action: in this case, vandalism.

After the Oklahoma City bombing, the militia movement died. The militia guys did not want to be seen as the same type of people. After 9/11, the IRA quit for the same reason. (Notice we haven’t heard about either.)
I think this is the “Occupy” wakeup call. Here’s the deal, the idea of communist (community) organizing is to create violence or the illusion that there could easily be violence. They then bully the government (or banks or whatever) to give them what they want. No violence, no change.
It’s time to stop the Occupiers as they provide the oxygen the violent types need to breathe.
Then, it can turn on a dime and say "it's time for violence," and the media looks the other way.
A protest by words is tolerable. A protest by violence crosses the line and should be put down - by violence. Cowards can dish it out, but they can’t take it.
