How's this for coincidence...
Michael Moore was on national TV today, talking about his experiences this week,
visiting some of the various Occupy XXXX sites across the country.
When asked about the "violence" his response was two-fold.
First, he said the various Occupy groups are all opposed to violence,
and were taking steps to avoid and stop it.
Secondly, he said that if you see someone vandalizing or deliberately breaking the law,
you can be reasonably sure they are outside the movement,
and are probably infiltrating the group to stir up trouble.
Maybe they are anarchists, maybe vandals, maybe something else.
Then...the lead segments tonight on local TV news...
The "real" Occupy Portland has abandoned the downtown
encampment because it has lost it's sense of direction.
Interviews with 4 people who claim to be the "real" Occupy Portland,
say the movement is no longer focused, and they have left the encampment,
and that they are taking up collections to help the homeless.
The four say the encampment is filled with homeless and rats,
and that the "real" Occupy Portland is no longer able to stay there.
The TV reporter repeatedly addresses these four people as the "real" Occupy Portland.
The next news segment is that the Portland Police Union (not PDX Police) announces
"it has lost patience with the homeless who are now occupying the encampment area",
The Police Union is urging everyone to write to the Mayor and City Council
to have the area cleared immediately.
Now, what do we think is going to happen next ?
