The Occupation is Over; Long Live #Occupy!

The three most news worthy #occupy camps in three days all with mayors talking about health and safety issues. Just coincidence. Move along.

We should all be glad for this. The 1% has shown their hand. They say the word and the politicians leap. Spread the word and laugh.

Laugh because #occupy is far from gone. #ows got right back in the park. #occupyportland is still holding daily GA's. A contingent from #occupyoakland marched five miles to support Berkley. A movement that had settled into a simmer came roaring back into national news.

Are you enjoying this as much as I am?

In other attempts at shutting down the #occupations;

Police in Burlington, Vermont, evicted demonstrators on Sunday.

Encampments in the cities of Denver, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah, were cleared on Saturday.

Lawyers for Occupy St Louis in Missouri plan to take their bid to regain their downtown campsite to federal court on Tuesday after it was also cleared on Saturday.

All just a coincidence.

As my wife was coming home yesterday, the police had just pepper-sprayed an 84-year-old near her bus stop.

I heard they also pepper-sprayed a pregnant woman.

At least now we know that the Department of Homeland Security orchestrated the evictions.
