Our tents have been removed from the occupation site. We are maintaining the occupation without tents. Those on site voted to forego the morning General Assembly and decide our next steps tonight at 7 pm. We invite you to join us at the occupation site now and at 7 pm for General Assemby. There is currently a tarp over the Bucky Dome for us to meet in but its future remains to be seen. Hope to see you here!

2. Without tents :(

There's no current news on the London lot who are now camped, in tents , in St Paul's Churchyard. Temperature there tonight will be c. mid 30's.

3. In California, the trash pickup people returned all the possessions in solidarity.

Trash people are also the 99%.

5. People need to start fighting back

Surrounding tents with barbed wire or razor wire might slow those fucking cops down when they start in with their gestapo-like tactics.

Isn't it funny, how you never saw this sort of thing with the Tea Party?

8. Could anyone REALLY go gestapo on a couple of guys guarding a port-a-potty?

Tea party rally...


:rofl:

7. Kick and Recommend. STAYING POWER is one of the most important parts of any protest

say the experienced. If they knock you off your bike so to speak, get right back on it and GO! Don't let them win, one city at a time!

9. That sucks! It has been so cold, rainy and downright NASTY here today.

Though I'm a few hours North of Carbondale. I'm sure that was the reason for taking the tents....make ém miserable and maybe they'll give up. Assholes.
