fer Fawkes Sake OCCUPY! Th 11.17.11

by: RiaD

Thu Nov 17, 2011 at 00:30:03 AM EST

[name redacted]: Interesting log: I watched thru the night as multiple Portland MSM covered the 11/13 raid on Occupy Portland. (foot note: declare this coverage as a MAJOR victory.) One after another, on every channel, reporters were sympathetic and impressed with the Occupiers, the democratic process, and the firm, non-violent response of Occupiers. There was awe and wonder in their voices. It was clear that being there, experiencing a Possible Other Way impacted them in important ways.
By the time the morning Nooz hit the air, the readers read the script about Safety, drugs, unwashed hippies...
But they had been there, they knew...
Sumptin good gonna come from this...
I hope we will all remember that in every word, action and attitude, we are the real advertisement for our perspective.
Who knows what magic moment changes the course of history...

In SC (!!) First Amendment Attorney Responds to Occupy Arrests

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Columbia First Amendment Attorney Jay Bender responded to the Occupy Columbia arrests Wednesday night.

Bender joined News19 at 7 p.m. Wednesday night, minutes after Occupy Columbia protesters were arrested without incident at about 6:20 p.m.

On November 17 at 7am #OccupyWallStreet will march on the NYSE. This Week at one of the largest General Assemblies ever, OWS called upon all of THE 99% movement to stand with them tomorrow in solidarity

Eighty-four-year-old activist Dorli Rainey tells Keith about her experience getting pepper-sprayed by the police during an Occupy Seattle demonstration and the need to take action and spread the word of the Occupy movement. She cites the advice of the late Catholic nun and activist Jackie Hudson to "take one more step out of your comfort zone" as an inspiration, saying, "It would be so easy to say, 'Well I'm going to retire, I'm going to sit around, watch television or eat bonbons,' but somebody's got to keep 'em awake and let 'em know what is really going on in this world."

Capt Ray Lewis Joins OWS Protest,Gives Message to NYPD and Slams The Greed 1% from Zuccotti Park Philadelphia Police Capt Ray Lewis Joins OWS Protest and Gives Message to NYPD from Zuccotti Park.

Why is New York City major Michael Bloomberg defending raids on Zuccotti Park to destroy the Occupy Wall Street protests? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
