Occu-Fail: Occupiers Block Hawthorne Bridge, Riot Squad Called Out, Dissolve in Disarray

Dateline Portland, Oregon - January 28, 2012. An evening of Occupy Anarchy turns into an epic fail. Occupiers successfully block the Hawthorne Bridge showing the angry face of Occupy. This causes long delays for weekend motorists. The riot squad has to be called to disperse them. They quickly fall into disarray trying to find their "dance party." A human microphone bit becomes humorous when the group cannot manage to get themselves onto the same side of the street. An Occupy Leader ponders the question: "Why are we here?" Another is at a loss as to explain why he hasn't seen many of the other Occupiers lately, then apparently remembers he himself hasn't been showing up. In a "wtf" moment Tinkerbell appears form nowhere to break into an automobile? (Post Script. looks like the Occupiers also helped destroy what might have been a fun dance event in the city. The organizers are angry in the comments on the wall. Facebook /events/353888677961028/)

funny, this is the only video I can find from the bridge. No police or mainstream reports of riot police being dispatched/the march at all J28!!

"Peace! Peace!" says the woman blocking traffic between east & west Portland. She should put Alinsky down and pick up Carnegie if she wants peace, ...Yep, Portland IS weird, all right.

I was there. the dude in the pickup showed up out of nowhere and spurred alot of the radicals. then he kept his windows up and continued to block traffic.  unfortunately my ustream didnt upload but when he drove off he almost tossed a dude on his face. It was not the intent of the group to do any that, but it did happen and it is a low point. Wish you would post the raw footage without the cheesy subjective editing though. It is more revealing

Give them kids a grown up time out in jail.
