There'll be fences up by morning, by then they'll only need enough police to head off attempts to take down the fences. Wonder if they'll fence off Schrunk too?
The occupiers will just set up camp somewhere else. Waterfront Park seems the most likely location, although I'd rather see them in Pioneer Square for the Christmas shopping season.
@Sugartit, this morning I talked to a co-worker who had just come back from the Occupation. He had to leave the parks because he had to be at work at 9:00.
@4 UNless your co-worker is a one-man army, I fail to see your point.
Listen, until someone pours gas over their heads and sets themselves on fire, I'm not convinced Occupy Lord of the Flies is little more than teenage angst writ large (OD'ing, btw, doesn't count as commitment to the cause).
Occupy Portland was brought down by the Grand Slam....f*cking breakfast.
Sugartit: my point is that the reality of the people involved with the Occupy movement doesn't conform to your caricature of them. Repeating that the Occupiers left to go to breakfast doesn't make it any more true.
Just got back from down there - crazy ass shit going on.
Spoke with Nick Fish for a bit. Nice guy. Engaging.
Found out an old HS friend that used to produce ch. 6 news left for ch. 2 news.
I think our cops are doing one hell of a job.
While down there, some street kid came by and told my wife and I (with our 2 little dogs) to watch out because the cops pointed their weapon at his dog and threatened to shoot the dog if he didn't get out of the street.
Yeah, right

Middle of the street. Pics of it with riot-clad cops in the background.
Never get between a crustie and his dog.
