I went tonight to the Occupy San Diego Site
And these are first impressions.

Presence core, is about forty people and more than a few are truly among our homeless population. So yes, it does smell a tad, nothing as bad as a few homeless encampments I visited. That did not surprise me to be honest, nor did it bother me. I actually had to smile, council has to walk through that every day, a tad difficult to avoid looking the invisible in the eye now.

As all movements they attracted ONE kook, the Israel did 911, who shows on schedule at five. No, they stopped engaging him a while ago.

it looks disorganized but it is not...

One more thing, they are very committed to this... and are annoyed that they try to explain what they want to Council and it is like a wall, No, that does not shock me.

I will download photos from my camera and upload to my site later on.

And yes I am going to have to watch Keith on the rerun.

Oh and as to police presence, a tad on the heavy side for the amount of people there, but they are polite... and none is wearing any riot gear.

Oh and yes my local media did show up, and since I was talking photos the cops decided I was doing exactly what I was doing, documenting this. Oh and did take a photo from the supposed angle where dog was fetching flag, and nope there is no way that this agent provocateur piece was filmed there. (I posted last night)

Oh and yes, they are getting donations all the time, I did donate some cash too.

Oh and veterans for peace is also there and did manage to have a talk about how the geneva convention covers medics in civil strife as well. The lady did not want to listen, sadly, until I pulled out my ancient ID... then she was all ears.
