OKLAHOMA CITY – Protesters, activists and the simply curious were few and far between midday Saturday when the Occupy OKC “public pep rally” was held in Kerr Park, as part of what has grown to be a week-long “occupation" of the downtown Oklahoma City park.
The moderator of the event encouraged all of the folks in the park - whose rallying cry was “We are the 99 percent” and were following the lead of Occupy Wall Street in New York - to gather around the oval by the Kerr Park fountain and amphitheatre and share with the rest of the group what they wanted addressed.
And this was seen as a good move. Occupy OKC activists had already sent a list to the media explaining the “new structure for the organization,” which is key to having a democratic organization like Occupy OKC, we were told. This includes daily protest marches, held downtown, a 30-minute “General Assembly” meeting, daily “Workgroup” meetings and plans for live music events until 10 p.m. each night. In fact, it was announced that rabble-rousing socialist and singer David Rovics would be performing for Occupy OKC at midnight Tuesday.
With that established, the moderator asked people to take turns talking into the microphone and share their thoughts and desires.
Lydia Polley of Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty naturally called for an end to capital punishment and encouraged the young people listening to join the typically older activists who are involved with OKCADP. Long-time peace activist Nathaniel Batchelder noted a number of important issues in need of addressing, from elite schemes to suppress voting to a plan for a State Question on the 2012 ballot that would do away with affirmative action.

I'd love to watch those.
FORE!!! POW!
Sorry!
So a person pays money to play a recreational activity and some slacker makes it their mission to interrupt their relaxation time? That is sort of like protesting by going to the movies and standing in front of people to block the view of fellow citizens who paid to watch a movie
Completely and utterly useless, stupid, and just generally get a damn life!
Take over the golf courses! Turn them into People’s Parks! Occupy the County Clubs and free the illegal aliens held in bondage in them! Close down these havens of Capitalism. Stop all Capitalist Golf! In the People’s America only hard work for the people and a rigid diet of Gruel.
Elite schemes! Lol...
As someone who has removed dead animals after a freeze from the ground with forks on a bobcat.
It ain’t that simple. They freeze right to the ground.
It’s the moisture.. they melt the snow or condense water around them as they cool then it freezes.
Not saying it can’t be done. The bobcat 873 pulled up dead cows all the time. It got a lot of frozen dirt with it though.
I wonder when these mobs are going to “occupy” Martha’s Vineyard. Except that MV has already been “occupied territory” of the Leftist elite for many years.
Sorry!
My favorite part of golf is hitting the guy in the caged tractor at the driving range. I'm particularly good at hitting them near the 100-yard marker. :-)
Target practice. Why wait for the range guy to drive out in the special truck to pick up balls?
You're going to leave a lot of divots.
