re: #414 Talking Point Detective

Apparently, one reason for the “human mic” technique, where the group repeats what the speakers say phrase by phrase, is that the meetings are taking place in some areas where the use of voice amplification are prohibited.

Bloomberg dropped by OWS yesterday and was asked if the protestors could get a permit for amplification to be used on the site. Bloomberg said no.

‘Human mic’ is about all they’ve got.
