Those people are lucky they haven't taken a riot stick to the head. Hopefully the Occupiers can hold out until Sam Adams reverses the damage of the bailout and gives everyone their bailout money..
Dear Sam Adams,
I am completely on par with the idea of putting an end to the "non-protest"/ Protest downtown. It is harmful to other parts of the 99% that are working, especially your 99% cops that have bills to pay like everyone else.
But one huge problem. Why on earth did you choose a Saturday night at midnight?????? Did you want a bunch of drunk assholes just showing up with no point? Shame on you. So stupid. Half of your protestors and half of your problems are a bunch of drunk weekenders looking for something to do.
Next time pick Monday at noon. It'll be much easier to put a lid on.

Sam is not very smart, and doesn't think things through. Seriously, that's it. Announcing your deadline several days in advance, and having it be Saturday night at midnight, is just about the worst decision you can make. It's par for the course with this guy.
@DrFellGud : "Portland's hardcore crustpunk anarchists" are still occupying the park. They stood up to the police in riot gear all night. That doesn't sound like being "too sissy to do anything" to me.
If you are going to judge the 'anarchists' by their own site (or at least the one DamosA provided) then they did sissy out.
Or maybe just (finally) getting a little smarter.
It seems to me the clear winner of this is turning out to be the police force here.
Mike Reese is looking pretty damn good too.
