I've often been concerned that if I show up for some Occupy protest, would I be pressured to be involved in some illegal and/or disruptive action that I strongly feel is counterproductive?

A peaceful demonstration of tens of thousands is much more effective at demonstrating the power and support of our ideas than 200 yahoos running around deliberately blocking traffic and people's livelihoods.
