I live about 10 mins from their camp...went out to it while it was still their and found nothing but kids asking for communism. I thought the protest ended very well...no violence and the protestors were working with the police to clean up the park. drove by the park this morning and it is totally cleared out.

what part of oregon you live in joe?

[Joe234]

Joe you drive by there all cool like, with your windows down blasting SoCa for the cause!

Funny you say this. I am 50 miles away. However when I was in Portland three weeks ago I did drive through the center of Occupy Portland with my windows down blasting Reggae for the cause. Have you been following me?

They just said three people were arrested in a car with some weed, fireworks
and a Ball canning jar. They said the jar could be used to put projectiles in.
No weed smokers cure their pot in them.

Lmao Seattle I knew that marijuana line would get you wet!

I watched a couple minutes of the feed there. I think I saw PP handing out flyers about his snus order. Two for one!

It's 3:00 am

The occupation continues
Reports of the smell of marijuana

The smell of marijuana? Oh dear.

I'm a little surprised how the police are acting down there. No issues here with the 'Occupy Seattle' protestors, since the city has lended support:

We are providing a permit for protest activities at Westlake Park which will allow them to have an organizing tent that can remain overnight. As a condition of the permit, protestors will have to allow for cleaning of the park, protect park property, accommodate the other existing permitted events, and protect access to businesses.

We are making City Hall Plaza available for those that wish to stay overnight, with reasonable restrictions on the tents so as to allow free use of the plaza during the day. Unlike Westlake, City Hall also has restroom facilities available. Both the permit and the ability to set up tents at City Hall Plaza would last for two weeks, at which point we can assess whether the arrangement is meeting everyone’s needs and should be extended.

Perhaps the city of Portland should take a cue from us? Best of luck to you in Portland.

He's protesting the very company that made the cell phone he cant live without.

And lxskllr, i agree misplaced energy. They, like me are fed up with crony capitalism. But capitalism works if you dont keep propping up failed companies and let the strongest survive and the weakest die.

[sirloot]

i just wanna know how you can injure a police officer in full riot gear by throwing something at them ? short of a Molotov ?

[EricHill78]

How did this end up Joe?

Are you out there Joe? If so, good luck.

I'm not sure what to think of the Occupy movement. I think the energy's misplaced, and the demands nebulous, but I fully support the impact on society, which is a monkeywrenching of the system, and bringing attention to failings of the system :^)

Hail Eris :^)
