“Whose school? Our school!” Occupy Portland, meet your younger, debt-ridden cousin, Occupy Portland State University.
PSU students and allies gathered on campus this afternoon to march in solidarity with Occupy Portland/Wall Street. Bonus! It was also a exciting excuse to walk out of class. Led by PSU students, but dotted by recognizable Occupy Portland staple characters, the 200 or more crowd marched north on the sidewalk, fenced off from the streets by trusty Portland bike cops. Drums, posters and chants glued the mass together.
Check out a couple photos from the event:
it sounded like they were chanting, “com-post pol-i-tics!” over and over.
IF THIS INTERRUPTS MY CLASSES TONIGHT, I WILL BE ANNOYED.
Awwww, aren’t they so precious?
did not appreciate being followed by a cop car while walking to class… #notintooccupyingaplaceihategoingto
Wow, those who comment on the Mercury blog never fail to provide comments that completely lack intellectual thought. I challenge someone to educate themselves about this movement, or anything for that matter, and critically and thoughtfully assess what they read about, then make a comment. Can it be done?

Since 99% of the students didn’t walk out, doesn’t that make the occutards the 1%?
Hey lu, it’s also easy to be self-righteous and pious on a blog.
I challenge you to follow your own advice.
