What is your local occupy movement doing?

Mine doesn't seem to be up to much - although they are supporting one of their members in the race for mayor. They actually shouldn't be doing that because they are a non-profit now, but oh well.

Poor Oakland. They are getting the rough end of the Occupy stick.:

Saturday's protest culminated in rock- and bottle-throwing and volleys of tear gas from the police, as well as the City Hall break-in that left glass cases smashed, graffiti spray-painted on the walls and, finally, the flag-burning.

Police said more than 400 people were arrested; at least three officers and one protester were injured.

Police said Monday that they were still trying to determine how many of those arrested were from Oakland. In the past, the majority of those arrested in Occupy sweeps were not Oakland residents and this has rankled city officials. Mayor Jean Quan has called on the loosely organized movement to "stop using Oakland as its playground."

Officials said vandalism and activities related to Occupy Oakland have cost the financially strapped city $5 million since October.

Oakland Councilwoman Libby Schaaf said she was disgusted not to see the American and California flags atop the grand staircase inside City Hall on Monday. The destruction to her workplace couldn't have come at a worse time as the city is grappling with closing a $28 million budget deficit.

Pretty much just camping.

Maxine Waters said the Tea Party could go to H*LL not long ago. I wonder what she thinks about the Occupy movement that is destroying public and private property and rioting in the streets of Oakland.

It's an older community down here. Haven't seen the Occupy people for a little while. They may have just died quietly.

In Seattle, just one nutter marrying a building. Occupy took over the building & think it should be turned into a community center. Nevermind that it is actually owned by someone who is permitting for development. This one chick is "so in love with the building and its potential to serve the community" that she was marrying it last weekend.

I think the residual Occupy movements should get their own name, because they have nothing to do with Occupy's core message.

still standing around the street corners waiting for the contractors and housewives to pick them up for their day labor. ;D

The only occupy movement around here is occupy McDonalds for coffee and egg McMuffin by the old coots that sit and tell war stories. They really tick me off. They take all the seats and I have to stand to eat my breakfast. ;D

What is your local occupy movement doing?
Trashing up the Public park.

Yep, they're still around here too. Mostly just camping and waiving signs at passing cars.

protesting every weekend.

Locally, they're suing the County for their "no camping overnight in the park" ordinance.
