OCCUPY SANDBOX

boston set to get evicted (again) tonight

Yeah, watching those Anonymous video communiques makes me feel like I'm on a Johnny Mnemonic ride at a theme park, which isn't an entirely unpleasant sensation, to be honest. But probably not super helpful in terms of getting across the seriousness of what's in that defense bill.

ha cory doctorow just tweeted "this is like a lost chapter from 'little brother,' except it actually happened: http://myoccupylaarrest.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-occupy-la-arrest-by-patrick-meighan.html "

^^ just forwarded that link to my siblings to read. Worth the time.

Law and Order Special Victims Unit has set up a replica of the occupation of Zuccotti Park at nearby Foley Square for a new episode.

Yup! Law and Order built us a new home, so we're moving in! See you all at Foley Square! Stay cool; treat it like it's ours. #Mockupy #d9

boston:

"the police have said that they will not clear the camp tonight"

fuck yes

in all seriousness though i wonder if it's gonna be a moot point when the students leave town in a week anyway

no yeah i mean

i go out of town next thurs to the following tues and i'm terrified we're gonna get hit while i'm gone

and i have a sense bpd are just waiting til 4am or whatevet

@OccupyWallStNYC Can you evict a fake idea? Can you fake-evict an idea? Can the occupiers at the perimeter move to arrest the NYPD inside?

seriously this is making my entire life

@jopauca 26s
Livestreamer: "Are these barricades yours or the sets?" NYPD: "I don't even know. They don't look like ours. I don't know."

i am loling harder than i ever have in my entire life

robin is going home in boston--she would not go home if she didn't think boston was safe

boston is safe

http://bostonherald.com/news/columnists/view/2011_1207why_meninos_wary_of_ousting_occupiers/

this is actually kind of insightful from the boston herald (!):

“(The mayor) expects the judge to come down his way on this,” the source explained. “And when she does, he’ll do nothing. At least not right away.

“He obviously expects the weather to get brutal soon. And that will make it harder and harder for them to stay, especially with the ban on any winter tents.”

So, exasperated though he may be, Menino will wait on a judge and then wait for winter to start feeling like winter.

also having lived in boston for as long as i did, i wouldn't put it past menino/the bpd to make a big spectacle of themselves even if the simpler thing to do WOULD just be to wait for the students to clear out for the holidays and take a bunch of occupiers with them (as the article alludes to, the bpd have also had some pretty prominent, erm, crowd control issues over the past decade or so)
