20111016 - Occupy Worcester attempt to occupy Worcester Common

NOOOOO! You can't let the cops tell you where you can protest! What the fuck? Get arrested! It's called civil disobedience you push overs. you are now out of sight of city hall (not that city hall is responsible). now that safety and tourism are part of the schema, defeat is all but inevitable. This movement is about not doing what we are told anymore. doing what we are told is what got us into this mess with wall street. this was a great defeat. that is public land!! Amendment 1!! cowards.

@TheScottyNutz Funny, I don't remember seeing you there...!

[TheScottyNutz]

@rollbiz next time look harder.

[TheScottyNutz]

@TheScottyNutz you should have looked harder!

Insanity. They are cult like.

Hey, I have a nice warm basement with a pool table and some couches - if the police kick you out of your protest in the woods of Lake Ave- y'all can swing on through and Occupy My House!

i don't applaud them at all they caved really fast i am holding out hope that they will reload and come stronger soon but from what i see the commit level among the the people in the group isn't exactly at a 10

@bigjavo36 i can understand that view, but i think in worcester it may be important for them to grow a little more before making their stand, which was their general consensus. i would have certainly supported them if they stayed, but i don't think it's the worst decision to try and grow a little bit more first.

@genesayssitdown agreed critical mass is well critical.

I went down with the ship Monday/Tuesday in Boston & I have no problem with Worcester choosing a tactical retreat, they moved but they didn't go home.
