It'll be alright dude. Many folks were discussing the marathon at OCCUPY last night and NOONE has plans of fucking with you. As far as i understand, oganizers from both OCCUPY and the run are coordinating with each other, so that EVERYONE can have their space.

Cheers, bro!

Did you see any of the media coverage? Demonstrators were peaceful and respectful. The city is making special exceptions to certain laws to accommodate these people. Why assume they will fuck something up for you?

I think your attitude sucks.

Gotta go with Graham on this. I hope it all worked out well, but it seems the 'occupiers' are to blame if it didn't.

maybe some runners will get into the occupy thing and maybe some demonstrators will start running once the thing starts. It`s way too confusion down there.

The runners could make this Marathon a mobile Occupation, if they wished.

They could make a statement of support(those that DID support it)and take something symbolic with them on their run.

Obviously you didn't go to #OccupyPortland, or you would know that the crowd isn't at all like that. And if you didn't go the protest that thousands of others went to, you really don't care that much about supporting occupiers all over the country, do you?

Two good reasons to stay away from downtown this weekend. Your marathon and the protest.

Alaska, maybe you should make a show of support yourself and carry your banner while running the marathon.

hmm, one event filled with 14k of people who want a better community, 14k of people who want to do their race and compete against themselves and others.

which one is more selfish?

Ooohh, I know this one. Easy.
The ones who didn't file for a permit reserving the space that suddenly wants to take it over.
The situation seems peacefully resolved now, thankfully.
But isn't there something more than a little pompous about these claims of people saying they deserve it because they want a better community?
I've seen this attitude in print several times now, including in todays 'O'.
You can arguably make the case that the runners are achieving more in making a better community, as well.
