On Friday, members of the loose coalition of progressive activists known as Occupy Wall Street met inside the sprawling atrium of Deutsche Bank’s New York headquarters to plan for a day of street protest on Wednesday, May 1. A year earlier, a similar planning session held at the same space saw hundreds of attendees pack the black-and-white marble floors of the massive arcade, creating a lively mood with impromptu speeches, drum circles and a potluck table providing free food to activists.

This year, only 11 activists showed up. One of them brought her own dinner.

'
Why are the BRICs are crumbling? Welcome to the permanent revolution

In most of the Bric countries economic rise has involved increased inequality, exacerbated corruption and failing public services - and that's just half the story'


Tear gas cannot stop it. Not even when fired point blank into the faces of protesters. State censorship is powerless against it. The bloodless prose of the official media cannot encompass it. But what is it? What is the force that put a million people on the streets of Brazil on Thursday, turned Turkey’s major cities into battlefields and – even now – bubbles under from Sofia to Sarajevo?
...

Each time the movement subsides, the old generation’s commentators declare it dead, overhyped, romanticised in the heat of the moment. But the protests keep coming back. In 1989, we learned that people prefer individual freedom to communism. Today, in many countries, it is capitalism that is associated with cronyism, repressive force and elite politics, and until that changes, this Human Spring looks likely to continue.

Protesting is as old as the hills.

Occupy was just a failed example of an age-old method.

Note, Occupy doesn't even rate a mention in that article.

'Community Occupation'

I thought you were on the side of the Islamists, like Erdogan and his supporters?

In a speech appealing to conservative grassroots support, Erdogan accused those involved in the protests in Turkey's main western cities of being disrespectful toward Islam, the religion of the vast majority of the population of 76 million.

"Let them go into mosques in their shoes, let them drink alcohol in our mosques, let them raise their hand to our headscarved girls. One prayer from our people is enough to frustrate their plans," Erdogan said, before tossing red carnations to the crowd after his speech.

The protests have underlined divisions in Turkish society between religious conservatives who form the bedrock of Erdogan's support and more liberal Turks who have swelled the ranks of demonstrators.

It seems like Occutards stole a page from the 911 Twoof playbook: attach yourself to any event you can think of. Therefore, whenever two or more people meet and express their dissatisfaction about anything, it's yet another OWS event that shows how their revolution lives on.
 
Occupy protestor gets pepper sprayed by Portland police, sues Portland, loses case and is ordered to pay Portland $7,116:
"I said 'I don't need to drag this money out of her,'" Landrum said, noting that he knows Nichols, 23, is a college student at Portland State University. At the time of her federal trial, she also was working as a janitor.

Landrum said he didn't hear anything for weeks, so he called back and got his answer: Nichols decided to appeal. So the city sought its payback. On Oct. 18, federal judge Michael Mosman signed off on the $7,116 that Nichols now owes. That award is reflected in paperwork that the city attorney's office filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court Wednesday. The breakdown is as follows:

•$350 for fees to the clerk
•$85 for fees for summons and subpoena
•$5,195 for fees for transcripts used in the case
•$82 for fees for witnesses
•$838 for copying costs
•$20 for docket fees
•$546 for other costs

I hope for an Occupy Wall Street comeback. I used to laugh my ass off at their antics.
 
What ever happened to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that the NY group had in donations? Couldn't they help out a fellow 'tard?
