OWS Posterboy Apparently a Trustfund Baby

link to story

the man whose epic meltdown video at the "Occupy Wall Street" protests went viral is really Edward T. Hall III. Mr. Hall is a Columbia graduate student who has a trust fund set up by his grandfather

Now, some may see this as a huge setback for the OWS movement. I see it as 1 of 2 things:

1. Proof that the conspiracy idea of planted nutjobs in the otherwise sane crowd is right on target.

2. That things are so bad even the trustfund babies see that something is very, very wrong.

So, people who have trust funds shouldn't be able to voice their opinion on THEIR government?
This is just another way to discredit the OWS movement.

Dude, read my opinions! 1. He's a plant.

2. Things have gotten so bad that even trustfund babies see it.

I was voicing my opinion on the source not your opinion.
It is possible for him to be a mole.
I doubt it though.

So are they voicing their opinion against the government or against Wall Street????


OWS is so very confusing.

Wall street, but the government plays a part in it.
You're telling me you think wall street and the government has 0 ties?

Or it could be that this is just a board rich kid who is trying to be a rebel.


I actually think a large group of the protestors are just like him...they are bored..they want to feel like the are part of "something".

Which explains the lack of message behind OWS...the message is "look, we are doing something"...and that "something isn't even defined.

I'm telling you that OWS has a multiple personality disorder.

I really can't wait until this is hijacked by people who can actually focus energy.

Orrrrr Wall Street's (banks corporations) over-influence over world leadership? Too much to comprehend?

OP
I agree the kid was probably mocking, that was terrible acting.

I am glad somebody else sees it too. Outkast is right most of the faces in these crowds have never toiled at a job forty hours a week year after year. How could they understand what the problems are?

a big fat banker is nothing without their supplier someone who can legally print a countries currency.
