Explain something about the "press pens" talked about at OWS:
If the press is so upset about being blocked from filming certain aspects of the nypd's actions removing the OWS people, why don't they move their "press pen" into the goddamned park and actually start reporting???

2. The police were using metal barriers to block people.
The MSM press, like sheeple, allowed themselves to be put in one place behind a barrier.
Then the police parked huge buses in front of them, so they could not see a damn thing.

OWS people with cameras, on the other hand, refused to be sheeple, and roamed around filming.
