Participated in, not leaders of. That's a pretty clear distinction that even the FBI makes, yet sourced articles still insist on using the term leaders...all leading their readers to believe Occupy is a domestic terrorist organization, it's dishonest.

These participants and would be domestic terrorists in fact became vocally dissatisfied with Occupy Cleveland because they weren't radical enough. A fact also conveniently left out of source articles.

You're right. Occupy is supposed to be a leaderless movement. Therefore they are all leaders of the movement. No one leader. All united in leadership. That sounds cool!

Please don't make excuses for these people. Their connections to the local Occupy movement are very clear. Don't get lost in a battle of semantics. Haynes attempted to recruit for the movement and acted as a rep. of the movement at an "information table" on the west side of town. Baxter got arrested in March for the movement and one of its many causes. These guys were clearly working all of the angles.

Nothing dishonest and untruthful there... Facts are facts.
