Then There Were Two: Occupy Wall Street Splits Off Into Another Site
Occupy Wall Street continues to grow and yesterday they filled New York's Washington Square Park:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Anti-Wall Street demonstrators said on Saturday they are growing out of their lower Manhattan encampment and are exploring options to expand to other public spaces in New York City.
Protesters complaining about what they view as corporate greed have been camped out near Wall Street in Zuccotti Park for three weeks, staging rallies and marches that have mostly proceeded peacefully but have also resulted in confrontations with police.
On Saturday, several hundred protesters marched north to Washington Square Park -- the site of protests against the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 1970s -- to discuss expanding their encampment to other sites.
There were no arrests.
Lucas Vasquez, a student who was leading the march, said protesters were looking at expanding into Washington Square and Battery parks, but stressed: "We're not going to give up Liberty Plaza" -- the protesters' name for Zuccotti Park, where about 250 have camped out around the clock.
"It's sometimes hard to move around there. We have a lot of people," he said.
By late on Saturday, no decision had been reached.
The movement has surged in less than three weeks from a ragged group in downtown Manhattan to protesters of all ages demonstrating from Seattle to Tampa.

News of the protest "splitting" into multiple groups gives me great pause because that's how the Tea Party was co-opted by corporate interests masquerading as a "grass roots organization".
We don't need some Wall Street group turning an OWS splinter group into an "anti-Obama" partisan hate group.

"Mugsy's Rap Sheet": Recording history for those who seek to rewrite it.
that was being loaned/rented to OWS. I wonder how long it'll be 'til anti-vagrancy laws, amongst others, are used to evict demonstrators from City-owned Washington Square Park?

Not soon enough!

A really nice family that had her for nine years. I was out putting up signs nearby when a homeless guy who hangs out at the bar where I found her flagged me down to say her owner came in. We called them and got her returned. Gave me a nice reward (tried to refuse it, but dude wouldn't hear of it.) Split the money with Dave (the homeless guy), then went and bought drinks for (most) of the bar. Needless to say, didn't mention that story at AA...
Sorry about BH City. But at least you've got lots of young hotties in bikinis in season. ;) Gotta make the best of whatcha got at hand sometimes.
Hang in there, my friend.

So: bigger than the Tea Party, but with a fraction of the media coverage? Imagine that.

Never have so many, been ignored by so few - who haven't a clue.
The Teabircher's are going to get massacred in the 2012 election. Just like the do nothing congress of 1952, these idiots were given one last totally undeserved chance - and they decided to go all-in on their corporate fascist hand. They will not see the majority again for many decades.
Good riddance, to the scum of the earth.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
We have plenty of parties left to keep our democracy. Ban the repugs!
Is it the 21st century yet?
proportional represetation,like the green party in germany,sorta thing.

They'd be surrounding the Financial District that way.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
...but why would a con magazine's assistant editor feel the need to do this if that's the case:

Move over to the networks. Occupy Rockefeller Plaza. Camp out in front of CBS, ABC, and FOX. It will be harder to ignore what is going on if they have to push their way through it every day.
