I may not be a resident of Scott Walker's parents residence, or a member of the 100 or so protestors; but I want to ask the question and answer with my opinion:

Is this acceptable behavior to protest family locations? It happened a while back with the occupy Wall Street crowd, and has happened again.

I say no. It is not acceptable behavior.

I would like to know what others think, but if you feel offended in having to answer, then simply do not answer. I do not want this to devolve into whether or not one should have to answer, or just be only willing to ask and denigrate others positions.

No matter how questionable I find Scott Walker's policies, I do not support protesting at his parents' home. Agreed.

Not really, no.

It happened a while back with the occupy Wall Street crowd, and has happened again.
Did it? I don't recall and I see nothing here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street. Would you care to substantiate?

Oh, please stop playing the victim card because people objected to your proposal to 'solve' the ISIS problem through carpet bombing civilians. An idea is just an idea, a position is just a position, and has no 'right' to not be 'denigrated'.

noted

[edit] BTW, this is NOT why I disagree with you. It was not my position that I was concerned about. It was your LACK of providing ANY input that could be discussed. You choose to only criticize others w/o giving input yourself. As for my position... I don't want it to come to the extreme. I am just willing to go there if the situation warrants [/edit]

Correction. It was SEIU, not occupy Wall Street. I'm sure that makes a big difference.
