More and more, Occupy Oakland is deviating from what the real focus of Occupy should be about and, and that is to stop economic injustice and corporate greed. We need to get back on track and quit being distracted and diverted by actions like these. The only thing this protest is going to produce is further people being turned off from the movement. To go and picket a confrence which is suppose to be about stopping child prostitution, is sending the wrong message to the public. The conference's intentions may really be more about the criminalization of prostitution than child trafficking, but a protest in outside of the Marriot won't send that message. The message that people will get, is that Occupy is being outrageous to protest something like stopping children from being exploited. Like I said, we need to quit being distracted by these sort of actions and get back on track.

Excuse me, but how the hell is this not a "real issue"? Is public approval so important to you that you would ignore the injustice done unto those not popular enough not to be stigmatized?
