my night at Occupy Boston

[juldea]

Last night I went to Occupy Boston to assist the movement in the face of probable police activity after a judge ruled yesterday that the occupiers didn't have a First Amendment right to occupy the square, leading Mayor Menino to announce he wanted the encampment gone by midnight. Like many, I support the Occupy movement while at the same time

Huh, Occupy OKC? I wouldn't have expected it, or at least would expect it to be realllly small. Has it been taken over by 'fringe' elements?

[goldbug]

Heck, we've got Occupy Norman now!

The guy went on to continue to try to rile people up juuuuust barely.

I don't suppose you got a picture.

[juldea]

No. I didn't take any pictures at all last night.

Thanks for writing this. I'm kind of sad I'm not in Boston so I could participate or at least witness what's going on over there, because while I know there is an Occupy movement in my hometown, it doesn't get any press at all. :/

Well its good to hear another firsthand account of this movement. A friend of mine at Occupy Atlanta had nothing but disappointing things to report about the mentality of the protest there. This sounds much more grown up (with a few exceptions, of course)

Why did londo not want the reporter to use his comments in a story?

[juldea]

For personal reasons, he did not want to have his real name used. He was fine with his comments used in a story, but the reporter said she could only do so with a real name attached.
