The checks from Koch Industries must've cleared.

Let the drama...BEGIN!

doglover: Since when is Wall Street in LA?

Since shut your pie hole, that's when!

Lots of people milling around in the streets. It's 2:30am.

Police lined up on the sidewalk. Paddy wagons ready to roll.

feckingmorons: While one may admire the occupiers goals, if they are breaking the law the must be arrested.

STUPID FIRST AMENDMENT!

/homer

Lights turned out. Getting a great shot of the interior of the helicopter.

Hippie being pulled out of a tree.

There are two!

There is a whole family of hippies in the tree!

Hippie in a hat is talking to himself on the cherry picker.

Philly too.

I can understand telling the protesters need to move because there's planned construction in the area they're ...giggity... 'occupying,' if they refuse to move for that they're just braindead stupid. You can protest, just not. right. there. retards!

STUPID FIRST AMENDMENT!

I'm not clear that the First Amendment gives you the right to move into downtown, set up tents, and smoke dope in the streets. So, yeah, kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out.

feckingmorons: While one may admire the occupiers goals, if they are breaking the law the must be arrested.

Oh, do shut the fark up! Is it some compulsion that forces you to post the same God damned thing in every OWS thread? Couldn't you mix it up a bit? You know, like blame Obama or Bill Clinton, or some other trolltastic bullshiat?

Garbage strewn everywhere. Camera zooms in on hippies in trees.

How many farking hippies are living in the farking trees?

Plastic zipties binding young man with a nice jacket and haircut. Coming out of the tree.

It appears to be a shearling.

Cameraman's girlfriend has camera troubles.

Duct tape hippie swings like a baboon to the cherry picker. Zipties for everyone!

To anyone who might be there... careful.

Well, seems to me the whole thing was that simple First-Amendment prescribed rallies weren't radical enough. The whole strategy is "pushing the envelope".

AverageAmericanGuy: Lights turned out. Getting a great shot of the interior of the helicopter.

They cleared the last of OWS from in front of the Federal Reserve building on Market Street in SF just yesterday. That is, I was there yesterday and only three were remaining. This morning, there were none. They're all in the park across from the Ferry Building at this point. Down where you're at, in LA, it looks like a lot of police overtime checks will be going out.

Gurneys prepared. Police guarding knocked over lawn chair.

Does this bulletproof vest make me look fat?

Upskirt shot.

Nice.

The signal has been shut down! I repeat, the signal has been shut down!

I tried to watch the KTLA coverage earlier and when they interviewed the OWS people it just angered me. One of the comments was, "We have been here 8 weeks and they wont listen to us!" I'm still confused at to what the message is aside from being upset. What are you trying to accomplish? Change. Got it. What kind of change? How do you want this change to happen? What is the end result? What realistic timeline are you expecting? Clicking your heels three times isn't going to change policy. Get a plan and present it! Voting in a dog as your leader doesn't help anything.

John and Ken from KFI even gave them an afternoon on the radio, not just interviews but full access to the radio station and I still don't understand what would make them happy. There is no agenda or solution to general disgruntlement.

That most don't want to be arrested seems to underline the idea that they can't stand behind their convictions when they can't articulate them. At the very least they should be protesting in the state capital and annoy the politicians who vote on policies that are detrimental to everyone but the politicians.

It's like asking what I should make you for dinner and replying "Whatever." Then you get upset that you didn't get what you wanted. Be Specific!

/sigh, I need to go to sleep
//sleepy rant may or may not be coherent

I hope the cops don't kill or maim someone in their quest for obedience to their orders.

Kinda funny how differently the LAPD deals with large groups of crackers as opposed to more... swarthy gentlemen.

Well, this should be fun. Wha's the over/under on another police violence meme coming out of this?

Occupy LA members relieved the LAPD have finally moved to evict them so they can go back to occupying their parents' homes again, without having to admit they just gave up.

otterly_delicious: What kind of change?

Thanks for letting us know you haven't been paying attention for the last 8 weeks.

WhyteRaven74: otterly_delicious: What kind of change?

Thanks for letting us know you haven't been paying attention for the last 8 weeks.

Then you tell me exactly what do they want? and how do they want it done? and how it will be done? and what will it take for them to unoccupy?

I've heard everything from kill the millionaires to free houses for everyone

Yeah. Lohan couldn't serve a few weeks because of "jail overcrowding". But what you wanna bet they'll magically find room to lock up plenty of OWS protesters...

lilplatinum: Kinda funny how differently the LAPD deals with large groups of crackers as opposed to more... swarthy gentlemen.

You mean like the one who just bought your new LA football team?

/might take a while to get there but it will happen

otterly_delicious: I can't understand why people are upset at being systematically farked over by banks, the government and other corporations, so herpa derpa derp
FTFY

Don't forget about a farting unicorn in every garage.

/I don't think most of the OWS'ers know what they want... Banks - bad.... government - bad... blah blah blah....

win.

Anyone who claims Occupy doesn't have anything coherent to say please read this then shut the fark up (new window)

Herpa derpa derp...That's exactly what I hear the OWS say.

Give some real solutions on what should be done. You can't just shut them all down. That's not reality. Sitting in front of a bank isn't going to change the bank. Why not take it to the politicians? Sit on Pelosi's lawn. Or at the state capitals. Or the lobbyists offices.

But yes, continue with the herpa derpa derp comments since you can't seem to express what can be done.

Saddest part to me is the cop cheerleaders. Yay authority.

Cyclometh: I hope the cops don't kill or maim someone in their quest for obedience to their orders.

If a few heads have to be cracked, and a significant number of overtime checks written, in order for the police to deny people their Constitutional right to gather and complain peacefully, well then justice has been done. We'll all sleep safer.

otterly_delicious: Then you tell me exactly what do they want?

banking and finance reform, education loan reform, addressing the issue of 30 years of stagnant wages, the issue of job loss, campaign finance reform, those are the big ones.
