Occupy Everywhere - Sept 17th - Day of Rage Against Wall Street and what it stands for!
An amazing day. I found it hard to tear myself away from the computer livestream of Occupy Portland. They had been given a deadline of midnight by the Mayor and Police Chief. They put out a general call for all supporters in Portland and in surrounding states to join them hold their occupation. MANY answered their call and the camp grew from afternoon until midnight from a few hundred to about 10.000 - maybe more. The Police tried to threaten and scare the people to move - but they would NOT be moved. They even moved in an LRAD and pointed it at the crowd....but after some tension, the Police had to back down and leave. The encampment is now ongoing and celebrating, with little Police presence. The Mayor and Police Chief have much egg on their faces! More on this soon. :dancingman:
