There are no riots that I can see in the feed, though. I put the feed back up (after shutting it down, because it was boring) looking for breaking riot footage, and instead got the videographer saying he was going to take a break and get a smoothie.
So, if he's getting a smoothie, there aren't any riots. Only, as JammieWF would say, mostly peaceful sporadic assaults.
Related: Via RD, who says this is brutal, a reporter from Jon Stewart reports on the hypocrisy of class divisions in the OWS movement.
The reporter asks an upper-crust "economically downtrodden" protester about "those shiftless hoboes from BumTown."
I missed this, but commenters spotted a rather interesting word-parsing non-distinction: A guy who condemns private property refuses to allow "those shiftless hobos down in Bum-Town" use his iPad, because that's personal property.
See, he's against private property. Completely different!
But they are different, the way he means them:
"Private property" = "Your stuff" = he gets to use
"Personal property" = "his stuff" = you *don't* get to use
See? It does make sense, in a three-year-old's "because it's mine/because I want it" fashion.
