#OCCUPYWALLSTREET campaign - September 17

[eyeno]

Too bad more people don't make examples out of police like John Pike. A district court judge would protect Pike but 12 people on a jury would probably find him guilty. A jury of 12 people can easily spot an unlawful act when they are shown the law. If I were one of those UC students that got pepper sprayed I would sue Pike's ass off. If every one of those students sued Pike they could take most of that big fat pay check for the next few years. Most people don't even realize that they can take these cops to Circuit Court. Most people think the buck stops in District Court but it doesn't.

Facebook response to the UC Davis video.

Notice Lynn how they only sprayed the ones on the sidewalk. Can only assume the order was to clear the sidewalk. Cops doing their job, protesters doing their job. Being defiant and getting arrested. Just not going to feel sorry for them or be appalled at what happened.

Occupy London’s Bank of Ideas opens for business
Posted on November 19, 2011 by occupylsx

Occupy London today opened up its new third space and first building the Bank of Ideas calling it ‘a public repossession’ and transformed the huge abandoned offices of investment bank UBS into a space for political discussion and debate.

At the opening on Sun Street, Hackney – one of London’s most deprived boroughs, occupiers aged 2 to 62 cut a red ribbon and launched confetti – made out of copies of the Financial Times – to cheers and applause.

Tina Rothery, a grandmother from Blackpool who has been staying at the Occupy London Stock Exchange camp at St Paul’s commented: “This is a space where everyone is welcome, a place where you can be part of making a real democracy. This is where it starts.”

Zigi, mother of two said: “I came with my children – we’re going to set up a kid’s space so they can play and be engaged and I can go to a workshop. This whole movement is about the future generation.”

As part of the new Bank of Ideas, offices and meeting rooms will be available for those that have lost their nurseries, community centres and youth clubs due to Government spending cuts. Details of upcoming Bank of Ideas’events at http://www.bankofideas.org.uk/events/.

Guests and speakers were also welcomed including Alberto Durando, Secretary of the Cleaners Branch of the IWW union who spoke about issues facing cleaners working in the City of London, such as minimum wage and unfair working conditions and called for the Occupy movement and workers to stand together.

This thread has been compulsive and required reading for quite a while,
and kudos to all those contributing, especially those giving firsthand info. But the outsized thread-spreading jpegs
being posted are making it very hard to follow.

Sorry about that; didn't check the size before I'd uploaded those. I've reduced them.

And video of the Bank of Ideas (which I've fallen in love with):





"We hope this is the first in a wave of public repossession of property belonging to the companies that crashed the global economy."

[Bruce Dazzling]

Ret. Captain Lewis seems to be backing away from NYPD criticism, and, in fact, he apologizes to "EVERY NYPD OFFICER" for implying that they were acting as Wall Street mercenaries. He said that he really meant for his sign to say that the NYPD shouldn't BECOME Wall Street mercenaries, meaning that they currently are not acting as such.

The Guardian released this video of the beating of Iraq war veteran Kayvan Sabehgi by Oakland police officers on November 2nd which resulted in a lacerated spleeen for Sabehgi.

Occupy Seattle Occupies Abandoned House

http://occupyseattle.org/blog/2011-11-19/abandoned-building-occupied-central-district

Independent participants of the Occupy Seattle Movement have decided to indefinitely occupy an abandoned home in the Central District on the corner of 23rd Ave and E. Alder and are currently calling for support.

The occupiers came to the home during their march for the National Day of Action against State Repression of the Occupy Movement called for by the General Assembly in Oakland. They first marched past the juvenile detention center on 12th Ave and then reached the abandoned home.

A neighbor said banks took the home after the previous owner died several years ago and it has been uninhabited since.

Several occupiers in front of the home made speeches. They addressed how predatory lending, rent hikes, property taxes on homes, and police harassment have driven the working and middle class black community from the neighborhood. This has allowed banks, developers and other gentrifiers to move in.

After the speeches an ad-hock assembly decided to occupy the home and brainstormed ideas including forming a work party to rebuild it for the community.

Jeff, those Bank of Ideas clips are great. I've stolen that last clip of Alessio Rastani and am trolling/Occupying it on another board (financial) at the moment.

Stuck On the Bus, University Bridge Occupied
http://www.newcitycollegian.com/2011/11/18/stuck-on-the-bus-university-bridge-occupied/

... Standing, as I was, near the front of the stranded coach, I turned to my fellow passengers, and during a lull in the grumbling, addressed them:

“This is a warning, a little taste of what happens when civil society breaks down. This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. When a whole generation of young people is denied the opportunity to have a living wage job, or any job, you’re going to see unhappy people in the streets. When oligarchs and plutocrats gamble with an entire country’s savings, and demand that working people reimburse them when they lose, millions more angry working people will fill the streets. Show me any society who’s only value is concentration of wealth, a country that does not support housing, education, healthcare, or just plain economic justice for their people, and I will show you insurrection, insurgency, civil war, and a whole lot of inconvenience. As a matter of fact, I believe I’ll just go join them.”

With that, the young man standing next to me, who had been nodding in agreement with my sentiments, said, “If I pull this handle, the doors will open.” I smiled, ” That’ll work for me.” As the doors parted, a chorus rose, and about 20 of us began our own march to the bridge.
