One thought on “March 5 Update!

  1. First off, let me say this: This is coming from a supporter, not some ruling class sympathizer. I’ve been active in demonstrations and actions since the anti-nuclear movement of the 80s. That said, I’m pretty upset about the condition Occupy cats left my neighborhood. Southside Park was used as a staging area for the Occupy the Capitol action. It really is uncool what a mess was left in the park. Leaving the park in such a state (with unused, half-made signs and dozens of “Why Occupy the Capitol” fliers littering the place) is not going to hurt the 1%. Rather it will piss off regular working folks who may now be a little inclined to lend their support. While the occupiers should be seen as a righteous opportunity for significant change, when folks leave a mess like Southside Park was left, it merely alienates other citizens and bolsters the arguments of misinformed people who believe that the protesters are just a bunch of dirty hippies. Look, all I’m trying to say is next time pick up after yourselves a little better. There is good organization going on in motivating, transporting, and informing people involved in the action. There needs to be better organization in the post-staging clean-up lest you alienate and lose the support of the people sitting on the fence who might otherwise join the movement.
