Mayor Thomas M. Menino said yesterday the clock — and the city’s welcome — are running out on Occupy Boston, the marching, chanting anti-corporate movement that commandeered part of the Rose Kennedy Greenway a week ago and turned a portion of the park into a tent city packed with protesters.

The mayor can go fuck himself. He's not the one who decides this. The people do. The people who he serves, who put him in office, and who pay his fucking paycheck.

Yes, what Nordic said; it is important to remember that most successful business professionals and politicians have strongly sociopathic tendencies. I don't say this to incriminate them--they are the products of their creations--but I think it is an important thing to remember.
The real issue is that there is extremely low likelihood that the speculations of the untrained, on a topic almost pathologically riddled by dynamic considerations and feedback effects, will offer anything new.

Occupy Iowa Update: Thirty Arrested In Des Moines By State Troopers
October 10, 2011 | Author Trish Nelson

Video below – Reports of dogs, pepper spray, 50-60 law enforcement officers

Seems that arresting people, bringing dogs, using pepper spray on a bunch of Iowans [pepper spray reportedly just used on one person] peacefully assembled is a gross overreaction but there is no doubt with a Branstad governorship, restraint and common sense will probably not prevail. Arresting people unnecessarily will only serve to fuel the flames of dissent and generate support and media coverage for the movement. Best coverage can be found at the Occupy Facebook pages and Twitter. Use hashtags #Occupyiowa #OccupyDSM, etc. Have not seen any national coverage of the Des Moines arrests yet but no doubt the lefty blogs will be on it soon. Just do a google search for the Iowa media coverage. Here’s the gist of things as they stand right now.

Update: Action alert from Occupy Iowa:

Contact Governor Terry Branstad’s office 515-281-5211 if you disagree with having a group of peacefully assembled Iowans arrested. governor.contact@iowa.gov. He has this power. He also had the power to prevent these absolutely unnecessary arrests in the first place. Please be polite and calm.

Comment on Branstad’s Facebook page about calling out the state troopers to arrest peacefully assembled citizens including a minor child: http://www.facebook.com/TerryBranstad



“Here is what I saw at Occupy Des Moines tonight….there were around 100 to 200 people there around 11 pm…the state patrol and Des Moines police [note from BFIA: others report it was state troopers] rolled in with about 50 to 60 people and even dogs…..the protestors were peaceful and repeated their intention of occupying a public area…the arrests began as people were zip tied…then someone with his hands tied behind his back was pepper sprayed… in the eyes and an ambulance came for him…a person with a camera who had taken pictures of the pepper spraying was surrounded by state troopers and tried to get his camera away from them….they started to push him around and threw his camera to someone else who was then rushed by the cops but several protestors rushed into the street to protect and get the camera away….finally a 14 year old child was arrested (in zip ties) and the tents were tore down…..”

Boston area college students join Wall Street protest

Monday, October 10, 2011

BOSTON - Hundreds of students from 10 area colleges marched through downtown Boston on Monday as part of the national Occupy Wall Street movement.

The protesters gathered on Boston Common and marched in front of the Massachusetts Statehouse carrying signs that read "Apathy isn’t working, Raise your voice," and chanting slogans like "Fund education, not corporations" and "We got sold out. Rich got bailed out."

Francis Rick, a sophomore at Framingham State University, said many of her friends are struggling to pay for their education even while holding down part time jobs.

Tensions mount between police and protesters
By Christine McConville
Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Tension is building between the still-expanding Occupy Boston and Boston police, but so far, the confrontations remain nonviolent.

Protesters say that’s part of their mission.

“We are here with a very clear message of participatory democracy and we want to make sure that it stays that way,” Occupy Boston member Nadeem Mazen said last night near a cluster of uniformed Boston police officers on Atlantic Avenue.

Occupy movement in Oakland, SF housing protest

Matthai Kuruvila, Vivian Ho,Jill Tucker, Chronicle Staff Writers

Monday, October 10, 2011


Protesters in Oakland and San Francisco took to the streets Monday evening in bookend demonstrations over economic inequality, corporate excess and homelessness.

Hundreds of protesters poured into Oakland's Frank Ogawa Plaza late in the afternoon, joining a multi-city movement taking aim at Wall Street.

Teachers, nurses, families and the unemployed, among others, participated in the Occupy Oakland protest, carrying signs in front of an empty City Hall. The city offices were closed for a furlough day.

Asia Patterson, a 69-year-old, part-time convenience store clerk, showed up at the start of the 4 p.m. protest, saying he was marching in the name of his nephews, nieces and cousins who had been laid off.

So. . .

Lemme get this straight. We have a mistakenly attributed Portland OR to a Portland ME post, while #occupywallstreet still goes strong. And now we're chillin' in Boston, Iowa and Oakland too while we're supposed to be paying attention to the wrong Portland as per the thread's title?

I'm really not trying to be a dick. But why? Why is this thread named "OCCUPY PORTLAND" at this point, still? Wrong Portland first and then a bunch of other cities all over the continent with little nondescript blurbs to follow.

also I saw Occupy Tilllamook the other day. Just a couple people with signs, but for such a small rural town... good signs.

Police raid Occupy Oakland encampment, arrest dozens
October 25, 2011 | 4:28 pm


Police in riot gear clear protesters from the plaza in front of Oakland's City Hall
Tuesday's pre-dawn sweep of the Occupy Oakland encampment, which resulted in about 80 arrests, came after the diverse community of protesters refused to allow police and fire officials -- as well as at least two ambulance crews -- access to the area to provide services, city officials said.

Oakland had issued repeated warnings to the campers over the last week, citing an increase in public urination and defecation, rats and fire hazards from cooking. The greatest concern, however, stemmed from violence.

When the camp took shape Oct. 10, things were relatively harmonious: City officials, including Mayor Jean Quan, asserted their support for the protesters’ free-speech rights and the movement's values. A children's "village" was set up, along with a kitchen and "school" in which to conduct workshops.

Homeless individuals and families who had been living in the area were embraced by the makeshift community and became a part of it.
