I wonder what percentage of non-occupy feel safe visiting the camp?
That is the bigger question.

I wonder how many feel safe visiting the camp - after dark

Is that a picture from Occupy Portland? He looks like a skin head at a KKK rally.
Well... I guess it could the Occupy Portland rally, no black people at they hate the Jews too.

1. It’s a big question, but it’s one wholly distorted by falsehoods and exaggerations by police and media.

2. If you’d exercise reading comprehension, you’d see the respondents include a lot of people who have stayed the night.

3. Cool story, bro. The man in the picture is actually a kind, graceful soul. He understands the value of political theater and simple, bold statements.

4. lol

I THINK THAT SIGN IS MISSING AN ARTICLE.

@GRAHAM, IT IS MISSING "DA" AFTER THE EXPLETIVE AND BEFORE POLICE.

It's hardly a representative sample, or a useful survey, as the group of people heading down there is self-selecting. They've already heard the scary stories about the risks, they've decided that they aren't concerned, and so they go down there. It would be like going to a tattoo convention and asking people if they are concerned about any social stigmas attached to people with tattoos.

Dave, the survey was administered with academically rigorous methods from a sociological background. The people at the parks are self-selecting, but the survey methods legitimately represent a reasonable number of people who have and have not stayed at the parks.

The surveys were conducted online and in-person. People worked very hard to survey as broad and deep of a sample as possible. These results are useful. You’re welcome to improve upon these efforts independently, or through occupation volunteers.

Hey Blogtown, the link you provided goes to a survey of Lewis & Clark students re. their perceptions of diversity on campus--it has nothing to do with Occupy Portland.
