VIDEO: Occupy Sacto organizer, attendees don’t know what the Occupy “message” is

Absolutely priceless:

Via CBS 12, which has a recap:

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) β€” Hundreds of protesters gathered in Cesar Chavez Park on Thursday to stand in solidarity with the growing nationwide demonstrations aimed at corporate greed, but some members of the peaceful event showed hostility to media members over basic questions about the goals of the protest.

β€œOccupy Sacramento,” which was portrayed as the local foothold for the rally that has entered its third week in front of Wall Street in New York City, drew impassioned speakers and a wide variety of viewpoints when the rally began Thursday morning, with demonstrations lasting past midnight.

Organizer Anthony Bondi said he has what he referred to as a β€œmessage team” working on the primary goals of the local protests, which he admitted β€œwas kind of vague.”

β€œThat message team will reveal that tomorrow [Friday] morning,” Bondi said.

β€œSo you guys are in the process of forming the reasons why you are here?” asked CBS13 reporter Tony Lopez.

β€œExactly correct,” Bondi said.

Please, please watch the video if you don’t do anything else tonight. To me, it sort of encapsulates the whole “Occupy Wall Street” movement in a nutshell: Full of clueless, aimless mostly 20-something hippie-like wanderers who would rather skip school and/or work who use the excuse of wanting to “be a part of the movement” in an effort to sound self-important, grown-up, and “informed.” Joined in shameless “solidarity” by union thugs. What miserable failures. Especially the “mother” who planned to camp out at the protest camp with her infant child, in spite of the fact that it was going to be a chilly night, and in spite of the fact that police had said that it was against the law to sleep there overnight. Shame on her for using her child as a kiddie human shield. Absolutely despicable.

And, no, NOTHING like the Tea Party, mainstream media.

BTW, there is an “Occupy” protest going on tomorrow here in Charlotte. I’ve disqualified myself from attending on the grounds that I put a great deal of value and importance on cleanliness and hygiene, not to mention knowledge and sanity …
