I think the police will find their job easier if the crowd is tired, and less of them.
I think the concern for public safety - occupy and non-occupy is another reason they will likely move later than the 12:01 deadline.

That's a sweet couple. And, frankly, nothing much happens in Newport.

Think they got their old tie-dye on under their jackets?

I'm with you guys in spirit- after watching Berkeley my boyfriend asked me to refrain from tonight. I love him more than our shared 1 income. (After this past 3 years) I'm respecting his wishes. Stay warm. Stay strong. Stay peaceful.

Did Facebook remove your page? You don't exist on it as of 11:24 (I've been offhand trying for a hour)

Really sad that I am too sick to be there, SO GRATEFUL for the livestream! When I joined there were 6100 people watching. The cameraman (/guy holding the stick) estimated there were 10000 people there.

It was really strange hearing the helicopter outside and through the livestream at the same time.

They just finished singing a really cute song. Right now they are chanting "NON-VIOLENT! NON-VIOLENT!"

They just announced they are staying there 'til 5am, sunrise, etc, betting on the "too big to jail" concept. They are inviting people watching the livestream to come down and join them.

Now they are chanting "OCCU-PY! OCCU-PY!....PUMPKIN PIE! PUMPKIN PIE!"

6,100, probably. 10,000, nope.

Non-violent, nope. I brought several signs that to the justice center steps. I wisely decided to not display them once I learned an anti-occupy protester was being held in a locked room for his own protection after an occupier tried to be him up.

My signs?
Occupy Damish
Occupy a shower
Occupy a life

It was spelled "Dammasch" and it closed 16 years ago.

Go ahead and post a photo of yourself with an "Occupy Damish" sign, we can post you online next to that famous "GET A BRAIN MORANS" sign guy.

suggestions to get naked if you are being arrested? Further disruption of public transportation (on a weekend, granted) so a couple thousand hippies, scumbag street kids, drug dealers, criminals, wanna be social activists(there is still NO CLEAR MESSAGE OR PURPOSE TO THIS) can squat on city land and be a nuisance? Great. I really don't care either fucking way as long as it does not affect me or those I care about. I am the REAL 99% just trying to claw through life, and not doing it though panhandling, handouts, crime and general douchebaggery. I know there are people at Occupy who want to better life for average and challenged citizens.....they are just NOT the majority. This is "pretend college anarchy" and Us vs Them. The police are not your enemy in general....unless you are a fucking criminal (or African American...but thats another story) What the hell do they have to do with Wall Street

Todd, you would know since you resided there.

Why would I post my photo? It's bad enough with all the threats I get from leftist, I would hate to see someone get hurt.

Chill, Andy, why don't you crack a beer and settle in for a "Hammasch Macbeth" marathon?

Occupy Nordstom! Occupy El Gaucho! That's where the 1% hang out!
Peace, love and justice to all, and don't forget to bring me a doggie bag.
