And from Colorado... Our little "Occupy Cortez" group continues on strong. We aren't really "occupying" downtown, but we have been showing up every Friday in front of the office of "our" Congressional rep from about 11am - 1pm with our signs and American flags. Every week a few more people join us. Last Friday our numbers had swelled to 50! Go, Cortez!
I love my sign which reads "Honk if you support the middle class!" The majority of drivers just give us curious stares, but we also get lots of honking and thumbs up. And a few folks flip us the bird or yell, "Get a job!" which I think is high comedy. Job? Is someone in town finally hiring? Is our local unemployment rate of 13% finally going down? One hopes so, but not so far that I can see. We are a very friendly group, I smile and wave at everyone - especially the ones flipping the bird. The most provocative sign we have is "I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one!"Still, we have actually managed to incite one of our fellow citizens to such wrath that he came down especially to tell us that he was going to go home for his gun and shoot us all.  This for "Honk if you support the middle class"? At least the local cops haven't pepper sprayed us - yet.Occupy Denver continues on strong as well, despite the colder weather. Here's a recent picture of two Denver Occupiers - Britte Notzold and her daughter Ida, 1. Last edited by SamIam; 11-21-2011 at 07:21 PM. |

I am thinking that America is not so different from Egypt, yes?
 Here is obvious trouble maker, after getting admonish from the police. Your friend Uday wonder how many polices ass she kicked before they gas her. |

Death's in Egypt's Arab Spring Revolution: 846 (link)
Death's in OWS Protests: 0 (related to police brutality) Police will make dumb decisions everywhere but the intensity level of the protests have gotten nowhere close to the intensity in the overthrow of Mubarak, with respect to both protester and police response. If you want police brutality in the US, look at the labor battles in the late 1800's.
