If you’re afraid of getting arrested, you can just spend the whole day in the store walking around and people watch. Just add to the mass of people the business has to deal with without adding to their profit.

Quote reblogged from no song of love; no lullabyAt this point a crowd of Occupy D.C. protestors gathered to condemn the driver and ensure that the police take him into custody, after two felony hit-and-runs seen by at least 50 eyewitnesses. To our surprise the police did not even require him to leave his car, and refused our offers of eyewitness accounts by demanding that we back away. Several police justified the driver’s actions by repeatedly asking, “Why were you in the street?” At one point a police officer with badge number 4722 pursued, slammed against a car and handcuffed an African-American protestor for no apparent reason. After about 20 minutes, the police allowed the driver to drive across the street, where he sat for about another 15 minutes before being allowed to leave. Upon seeing the felonious driver let free, a few dozen protestors flooded back into the street to protest this unbelievable miscarriage of justice. At that point the police began tackling protestors, shoving three into the ground and cuffing them. According to the D.C. police, the driver will not be charged “because he had a green light when his vehicle struck the three on Friday night.” To the contrary, there are no traffic lights at all at the scene of the first hit. Above all, a green light does not give anyone the right to drive into a person with their car.

Occupy Wall Street News Update of the Day: The NYPD may be attempting to undermine the Occupy Wall Street movement by employing an extremely shady tactic: Encouraging “lawbreakers and lowlifes” to link up with protesters at Zuccotti Park.
According the the New York Daily News, a physical line has been drawn between the pretenders and the honest-to-goodness demonstrators, with the “real” 99 Percenters occupying the east side of the park, and the “stragglers” setting up camp on the park’s west side.
“The west-side anarchists are in 70s-punk costumes,” reports the Daily News’ Harry Siegel, “and to the extent that they have discernible politics, many of them would be more fairly described as nihilists.”
Siegel says that the freeloaders — who are mostly there to take advantage of the free food and supplies provided by legitimate activists — have been known to start fights and engage in open-air drug sales, to the detriment of the movement.
Two “drunks” Siegel spoke with claim they were “encouraged” by NYPD officers to “take [their illegal activities] to Zuccotti.” Members of the Community Affairs Working Group say they’ve heard similar accounts.
The New York Department of Correction has denied outright the rumor that it was sending newly released prisoners to Zuccotti Park, and an NYPD spokesman responded to the Daily News story by saying, simply, “it’s false.”
Meanwhile, Occupy Wall Street protesters were forced to weather their first significant storm over the weekend without any generators, as the dreaded “snowtober” pummelled the city with record-breaking flakes.
Any grumbling, though, was drowned out by the sounds of merriment and musical instruments giving the howling winds a run for their money:
Further Reading/Viewing: OWS organizers have officially filed the necessary paperwork to trademark “Occupy Wall Street”; protesters marched down Wall Street dressed as heroes and villains as part of an event dubbed the Occupy Halloween parade. Check out some snapshots from the festivities below:
