currently;

"twinkles up" on the idea of abandoning standing around blocking Main St.

Now they are talking about moving-but where(?)

Now it's back to "holding the line"... though one guy wanted to "occupy a veranda of a nearby building. there was even cafe there, supposedly.

strange sausage making, with all that "mic check" stuff.

One more vote for stay or go proposed...

The "front-line" people (those right in front of the police) are saying they don't want to leave.

Now calls for a "double" mic check.

Hehheh
They are losing percentages now. We, the 90%, are telling you lessor percentage folks at the "frontlines" what to do.

I lost the audio. I’m getting lonely without a “mike check.”

I don't want to tell you I told you so...but I told you so. This is from an article about the crackdown:

"Choya Adkison, 30, said police moved in after giving demonstrators a false sense of calm. They thought they had time to rest, relax and regroup, she said "Camp was completely vulnerable, completely defenseless" when police moved in, she said. "I'm disappointed that they created a sense of trust by walking away and then completely trampled it."

This is why it was a brilliant strategy. The police kept them up and awake all night. The protesters thought they had won because the police didn't evict them that night. And then after they all declared victory and most went home to sleep the police moved in.

Brilliant tactics for how to handle an unruly crowd of softies looking for a fight.

Audio back, but picture dark. Folks out of the street...wait..... more mic check regrouping.

Heard in the foreground;
"there was like, 2 hours of discussions [of where to go next] with nothing happening..."

Yes, but he's holding out for a government-funded Klingon Philosophy job. Indeed, he'd probably have it already were it not for the greed of the corporations and the 1%.

And you "told me so" too soon. Protesters celebrated a major victory, and the next stunt would be much bigger and more anarchist in nature in a very short time. These occufascists are vampires, and when the light of day comes, most go into hiding to ward off the light and sleep off the numerous drugs they've injected and ingested.

In case you haven't checked back, as soon as darkness fell, they are now amassing again, IN THE STREETS, putting up tents, IN THE STREETS. They are daring the police to do something about it, and will settle for nothing less than a violent confrontation. The occucommunists WANT a "Kent State moment," and police are duty bound to give it to them if they don't want to capitulate to the sworn enemies of America.

That's good for our side. Now they're impeding traffic and losing whatever public sympathy they might have had. It's a long term strategy by the PD.

Nope, no impeded traffic. The cops announced that they were opening 4th street, two minutes later, they moved back and the cars started coming in. Every street is now opened. Portland Police handled this whole thing very well.

Very possible that we will end up paying for his education anyway, as the current administration is granting many holders of students loans huge breaks and some are being completely forgiven. I did check craigslist, no openings for a Klingon Philosopher, one could come up if we get that new “Jobs Bill” passed though.

I'm pretty sure that about half of the Federal Government jobs are as useful and applicable to the real world as Klingon Philosopher, and probably require a similar skill-set - he'll fit right in as soon as the Democrats can manufacturer a public sector position for him.
