12. This is so amazing to watch. |
|
The cops are getting scared, they are outnumbered.
The more the cops beat on people the more people show up.
The cops are really stupid.
I wish I was there.

Huge march in L.A. plus UCLA begins occupation. New York City. Boston beginning soon.
Now, *this* is change. :)

22. It's not going real well now |
|
A lot of people have apparently decided that even getting biffed around, coshed on the head, tossed in the clink, or whatever else is inflicted on them is preferable to continuing with things the way they are.
And considering the amazing inertia of the American people, that says a LOT about what's been done to us to get us to act at long last.

40. He's the guy who was supposedly kicking the barracades |
|
when the cops had Zuccotti Park blockaded earlier so that nobody could get in or out. They were looking for this one guy called "Roumanian" and when they found him they beat him pretty badly and knocked out several of his teeth. That's pretty much all I know.
