(And even if they were more than a coincidence - WHICH THEY WEREN'T - our Portlan raid was helmed by a "liberal mayor." So that makes it all okay.)
More likely is that since Occupy [insert city name here] all started around the same time, most big city mayors got fed up with them around the same time. Think of it this way--if you leave a chunk of stilton cheese on your counter in Portland, and I leave one on my counter in Arizona on the same day, it'll probably start to stink and annoy everyone in the house around the same time, and we'll probably throw it out around the same time. Nasty things tend to have similar shelf lives, after all.
Were you people not paying attention to things leading up to his 36 hour warning? Shit was building up to them being kicked out for weeks.
And, I really don't care if they all planned for every city at the same time. Let them conspire.
It's the rich you should be hating, not those who are fighting for justice for all of us.
Face it dude, the system is gamed against the 99%.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
This has been the major problem with this whole movement. They complained about vague generalities then wonder why nobody takes you seriously. Yet you feel all warm and fuzzy because you went out, danced in some streets and set up a 420 friendly head-shop in the corner of the park and thought you were pretty cool stuff. How about getting involved in the political process? How about learning how to change the systems instead of just b*tch about them and then feel justified because 'you made your voice heard'. I hate to tell you this, but politicians know how to 'let you get your voice heard' and then you're forgotten in a week. You're totally falling into it too. If you want to REALLY scare these guys, then take real action by creating a group against Mayor Adams and his croonie board's re-election. Move your money out of their banks. Change your 401k investments and tell them why. Or better yet, create a business that gives people an alternative! That's real action. That's something that'll actually change something. Sitting around in a muddy park for weeks on end doesn't give anyone an alternative to what they have. You're publicly victimizing and removing all your own power you fool. Go out and take the control that's already available to you TODAY by building something that people can take concrete action in.
