Lacy MacAuley of Adams Morgan signed on after hearing of the movement by word-of-mouth. Eric Sponaugle of Olney joined after seeing images of what he called police brutality. “Joe” from Frederick, Md., saw the handmade signs and wondered what all the fuss was about.
“Somebody was really excited about something vague,” said “Joe,” a soft-spoken 37-year-old. “I wondered how someone could get so excited about something like that.”
The movement is “Occupy D.C.,” a fledgling version of the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstration that has crowded New York’s financial center for the past three weeks.
The D.C. version hasn’t yet drawn the thousands of demonstrators the New York version has. In fact, just five people occupied McPherson Square in Northwest on Wednesday morning. But organizers say the numbers fluctuate and point out that about 120 people joined them on Saturday night. Larger crowds of protesters tend to gather around lunchtime and in the evening, when employees leave work.

Ironic that people with no productive occupation decide to make their name by occupation of productive areas.
("Productive" doesn't include DC of course.)

Just a rerun of Ayer’s Days of rage crap. When they start shouting “Kill your Parents” the anarchists are running the show.
They are planning one here in Tucson too this weekend. Anywhere there is a University full of mush headed proto- communists they will surface. The American education system is BUSTED big time. Its going to take a long time with dedicated people to put it right once again.
Soros and Obama appreciate it.
Correction: Larger crowds tend to gather around lunchtime or in the evening when they crawl out of bed.
The US under Obama is getting to look more like Western Europe all the time right down to rabbles occupying city centers making demands.
