re: #213 Gus 802

My sole problem with the Tea Partiers has always been the views the express, not the way they express it. If they had decided to camp out in parks, the irony would have been rich— camping on public land— but it’d be the irony, not the action, I’d be pointing out.

That said, I still think the actual act of Occupying at night is causing more difficulties for the protesters than it is providing any benefit. I guess it gives those who have traveled a long way to the protests a place to stay, but I’d rather crowdsource that, have protesters let other protesters crash on their couches, etc.

Oh, and a New York City council member, Ydanis Rodriguez, was injured during the raid, and arrested.
