2. Don't want to spam the board unduly, but this may be the 2nd
most significant day of our lives (the first being September 17).

IMO, really important to keep this story front and center tonight, if possible. Even Penn State scandal fades before this.

6. This is getting sickening
These protests are getting us nowhere. We need some way to stick it to the 1%, where they can't fight back. We need to hit them in the wallets. Good people are getting hurt and even brain-damaged, and for what?

Occupy needs another tactic, and fast. :(

8. Portland are considering flash-mob protests of downtown Christmas sales...
The organism will evolve. Please use your upset to help it, somehow.

9. Yep - I thought of that as a tactic a couple of days ago...
PERFECT for maintaining the press coverage and moving too fast for the coppers.


It could be what social media is meant to be.

12. I'll always support them
I just can't bear to see people being brain-damaged, losing the use of an arm, etc. And it's going to get worse if/when Occupy-ers do drain police resources, because then the National Guard will be called in.

I like the "flash mob" idea, but it's still going to end badly.

The 1% live by their money. That's where we need to hit them hardest.

14. This can cause permanent hearing damage
And if the people are cordoned in and can't get away...I knew they were going to do this, after what happened in Pennsylvania in 2009. It was just a matter of time.
