Sketchy Characters!

Here is an article put together by the good folks at Underground Action Los Angeles We thought we would share this here on the blog to keep everybody on their toes for sketchy characters.
TO OCCUPY LA (Security Comm.) and fellow comrades
October 1st 2011

At approximately 2pm today an individual wearing a black hoodie with a red lace on the tip, baseball cap and black jeans approached a couple of our members. He is a white male around his early 20's with a strong jawline, short hair and slouches over as if hiding from someone or something.
As we were standing around, the said individual asked "Where's the action" hinting at a possible disruption of events. We responded with a simple "I don't know" which was followed by "Didn't you hear? The guy said we need to do action. Let's do some shit man!"
This individual came off as either very immature but also as a sketchy character to our group. As he asked us this, a female came from behind, took our picture (to which we opposed) and quickly ran off. At this point, the male insisted on "starting some shit" and we ignored him. He remained persistent as if he wanted us to help him disrupt.


We do NOT condone violence and mindless acts of destruction ESPECIALLY at a protest we have not organized ourselves.

This is a serious thing to us. We practice a high security culture within our group and we feel that if an individual goes out of his way to disrupt or even attempt to, this person is either:


A) An undercover officer
B) A paid disruptor
C) An outsider agitator

Luckily, we were able to take the individual's picture which will be up soon. We feel obligated to bring this up. There will be agitators and there will be undercover cops infiltrating to destroy all the progress the people have made. And we will not stand by while this goes on. Something must be done to hold these agitators accountable and to either remove them from actions or to keep a look out for them.
The cops cannot be trusted because this has happened time and time again. They have sent these agitators into our activist circles and they will not investigate who is disrupting protests. They are the disruptors. They work for the interests of the bourgeois.
This may sound like ranting but we are fed up with activists being negligent to this disease. What will OccupyLA do to address this issue?
