Beware the "agent provacteurs"...there are unfortunately....people he'll bent on destroying this movement....so they behave badly for their own personal motivations whether its for the police to step in or bankers etc. Bottom line - there will be attempts to delegitimize this movement. Do not let them. No violence.
The conservative writer then went on to explain what exactly he was doing leading the charge past museum guards into the building itself:
[A]s far as anyone knew I was part of this cause — a cause that I had infiltrated the day before in order to mock and undermine in the pages of The American Spectator — and I wasn’t giving up before I had my story. Under a cloud of pepper spray I forced myself into the doors and sprinted blindly across the floor of the Air and Space Museum…
The liberal blog Fire Dog Lake, used a detail of a photo shot of the protesters just inside the entrance, and lined it up with Howley’s Facebook profile.
True to his admitted purpose, Howley mocked the 99 Percent Movement for a disorganized meeting at Freedom Plaza, the base camp for D.C.’s “Occupy Wall Street” franchise, derided the bulk of protesters for not disobeying the museum guards (“all of a sudden liberal shoes started marching less forcefully”), and said he was “proud” to get pepper sprayed:
I deserved to get a face full of high-grade pepper, and the guards who sprayed me acted with more courage than I saw from any of the protesters.
The evidence doesn’t seem to show that Howley incited protesters to do anything they weren’t already primed to do, but his stated intention to “undermine” the 99 Percent Movement and associated demonstrations — and his position leading the charge of protesters at the museum entrance — indicate a little more activism than simply an attempt to get a close look at protests, as Howley says, “for journalistic purposes.”

We agree with the Property Owners. It is their choice to allow it if they choose. Every city should have a designated place for street art of all kinds. When someone can take their time with it you get much better looking art every time.
After someone complained about the loud scribbles on Russell Johanson's property, the city told him in July he had to clean it up. Johanson ignored the warning. A graffiti patroller visited his building, on a small, weed-choked lot, three more times and found the tags still there.
The city sent more notices. It offered Johanson paint and volunteers to help him to clean things up. It threatened him with hefty fines.
All to no avail. In a decision published Friday, a hearing examiner declared Johanson's building a "graffiti nuisance property" and fined him $2,000. That represented $100 a day, from the time he got the civil-violation notice to the day of the hearing.
This week, Johanson, who runs his Ravenna Rare Books from the property, was still defiant.
"I would like to expose the absurdity of the code," he said. "It's not anybody's business but mine."
"This comes perilously close to the government saying, 'We get to tell you what color to paint your house. We tell you how to dress, what to do.'"
Seattle's graffiti ordinance requires property owners to paint out graffiti if someone has complained about it. But owners can escape the requirement if they say the graffiti is "authorized" on their building.
That loophole has led to arguably Seattle's most famous graffiti wall, the old Tubs building, a few blocks from Johanson. Once a hot tub business, the abandoned structure, at prominent corner of 50th and Roosevelt, is coated with layers of garish spraypaint.
But despite years of neighborhood complaints, the city is powerless to clean it up, because the owner says he likes the graffiti there. He called it an "evolving piece" of art. It has since become a well-known "freewall."
