Shoot-FIRE! I missed it.

Athena,

Any word on the text message outage from last night at Occupation locations?

What I learned from the Livestream last night is many fold, but the riot forces at three different locations across the country at almost the same time period was stark. The Marine Vet that was shot in the head at close range is something that is still causing me great anger.

Here he is. He is an Iraq Vet.

OWS-NY just finished up their march re: Healthcare. The web site had this posted:

NYC, NY Oct. 26 – Wall Street’s control of health care is exposed in a march/speak-out today that starts at the offices of Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield, a subsidiary of WellPoint, the largest publicly-traded health insurance company. We are gathering at Liberty Square at 3pm and marching at 4:30pm!

Empire is housed across the street from the OWS encampment in the same building as Brookfield Properties, the multinational that owns Liberty Square (formerly Zuccotti Park). WellPoint’s CEO, Angela Braley, was compensated $13.1 million dollars last year. Read More…

Finally! PortaJohns.

I will try to get confirmation of this from OWS.

I don’t think you missed it, I think Kevin’s just running late.

Kevin is live NOW.

Thanks for your patience, yáll. We’re all having to figure all this out of the fly, kinda.

It’s actually Lisa Derrick livestreaming from OccupyLA right now. Kevin should be in columbus around 6:30 pm ET (about 20 min from now).

Livestream went down.

OOOhh…

Sorry!

Aloha, ya’ll…! I see that the NY Post is classy as always…

Rikers cons flood Zuccotti for free eats…

I’m really looking forward to the Webinar…!

Not your fault. Mixup on our end. I had to watch it for a while until I realized what was going on.

So the stream I was watching earlier was from OccupyLA?

It’s almost webinar time!

Yep.

Vigil For USMC Scott Olsen in Zuccotti Park tonight at 9pm.

Anybody see this Veterans News Now report…?

Marine Vet, Skull Fractured, Brain Swollen in Oakland Police Assault—Appalling Video…

As a Vet this makes my blood boil…! 8-(

My comment @16 is wrt this veteran. His name is Scott Olsen, USMC. He was hit in the head with either a gas canister fired from a launcher or a less-than-lethal round.

There will come a time when people will start fighting back against this kind of shit. Mark my words.

A rubber-coated bullet…! Same sh*t the IDF fires daily at the Palestinians…! *gah*

Occupy Oakland: Iraq veteran ‘critical’ after clashes with police

A Witness to the Violence in Oakland

Mahalo Nui Loa to all, for the awesome Webinar…! *g*

Is there any outreach at unemployment offices, homeless shelters, hospital emergency rooms, military recruiting offices, union offices, pawn shops, blood banks etc.? If the movement is to grow it seems as if it will need increasing participants.

Best news I’ve seen all day.

Tears Stream as City Council Unanimously Agrees ‘Occupy Tents Are a Form of Speech’

US tax payer dollar$ all the way down to the city level are not about their proper work (more evidence here). Instead, those dollars are going to a company of the London drones manufacturer, BAE Systems which is supplying the Oakland Police Department with dissent destroying tools (there’s more which Max Blumenthal adroitly explains).

One councilman stated clearly, “I disagree with most of what you’re
saying. But you’ve clearly shown that this is an issue of free speech. So
if you need to sleep on our lawn… by all means… sleep on our lawn.”

On a personal note… I myself was stopped by the Mayor on my way up the
hall, when he said, “You know what concerns me?” “What’s that”, I asked.
Expecting him to cite a civil code. “Do you have enough blankets, or
should I get you some?” He asked.

Another good program, Kevin.

So if you need to sleep on our lawn… by all means… sleep on our lawn.

Out-f*cking-Standing…! As I’d noted during the webinar, I’m hoping to see a similar response here in my sleepy hollow…!

I want to see a ‘hooverville’ under King Kamehameha’s outstretched arm…!

It’s a perfect locale… Public restrooms are located nearby, with plenty of room to pitch a tent, and well manicured grass as one’s mattress…!

Outstanding. Also the only sane and, probably, lawful response. Thanks, Kris.

So if you need to sleep on our lawn… by all means… sleep on our lawn.

Out-f*cking-Standing…!

As I’d remarked at the webinar, I hope to see Occupy Hilo establish a ‘hooverville’ beneath King Kamehameha’s outstretched arm…!

It’s a perfect locale, with 24hr Public Restroom access, and a well manicured lawn for a mattress…!

Here’s another piece of good news. KO just reported that Tony Bologna has been reassigned to Staten Island as a Special Projects Officer, not a good career move. The asshole gave an interview, which I read, saying he was aiming the pepper spray at men lying on the ground trying to trip officers, and that he would do the same thing again. Cooked his own goose.

Chinese central government bans “Occupy” search term

Thanks all for the updates. Scott Olsen is our symbol. Those who helped him are too. Firing rounds at citizens helping a seriously wounded veteran. Really Oakland? Really? The Oakland police saw those aiding a seriously wounded individual as a threat to their police line? The whole line of police who failed to help the wounded Scott Olsen need to be fired.

Oakland PTB should be shameful and shaking.

Right. Because if Chinese workers Occupy… “you know what” hits the fans.
