It's a process that radicalizes the wrongfully arrested. Here's a running tally - over 5,000.<br /><br />http://occupyarrests.moonfruit.com/<br /><br />Personally, I think things will escalate - especially as food becomes unaffordable and more people lose jobs and homes.

You know what? The writer of that piece SHOULD be angry. He has every right to be furious. He was a witness to assaulted by the LAPD. The little liberal nod and eyebrow raise at the end is exactly why we are in this mess. If he -- with his media connections and writing skills, and all the other good middle-class advantages -- can't be translated into the courage to stand right up and use the system, then what hope is there for anyone else? It almost sounds like he was just having a "weekend experience", and it got a bit rough for him, playing protester. He'll tut about his experience and dine out on it for a while. Then it's tomorrow's chip wrapper. <br /><br />SerindeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-23347051441625977692011-12-10T10:14:03.002-05:002011-12-10T10:14:03.002-05:00Organised crime has become institutionalised crime...Organised crime has become institutionalised crime: if our leaders aren't themselves crooks, they're on the payroll, whether they admit it to themselves or not.<br /><br />And they own the lawmakers...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-6861874657393890462011-12-09T09:49:25.251-05:002011-12-09T09:49:25.251-05:00Thanks Catman!

Paley, back when rich people wanted to give some of the loot back to people. It was built in the 60s and I spent much time there away from the street noise when I wasn't protesting a war in SE Asia.<br /><br />catmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
