Watch for a surge in OWS this weekend.

Lots of big things supposed to be happening..

NYC wants to force them to vacate so they can clean the park, OWS says they will lock arms and not move, and want to clean it their selves.

Atlanta has until Monday to move somewhere else, and they say they ain't going.

Here in DC they have something big planned, but aren't saying what, but they also have a large March planned for Saturday. No details on it though.

Detroit plans to march for Obama's visit tomorrow.

Boston already canceled a Food Truck event that was scheduled for this weekend.

Seems the pulse out there is this weekend a lot of people are going to be turning out in support..

Then, the one I'm waiting to see what happens, is they are having on Nov 5th, as a dedicated day to pull your bank accounts from the large national banks, and move them to small local banks and credit unions. I'm real curious to see how big a movement this is.

Gonna be an interesting weekend and next few weeks as this grows.

I have a feeling that this movement with all of it's gaining energy will get very ugly. The signs are already there from the heavy handed tactics used in some cities so far by the police.

Hope to be wrong, but all it will take is one fire cracker!

I wouldn't doubt if it does get violent if things don't change. So far, the people are trying to get the cops on their side, and are trying to work with them, but the cops aren't doing that everywhere. Here in DC though, it's been a lot different than it has been in the past.. Right now DC has the blessings of the city council, and the police chief has given her support too.

Now that people have the power of instant social media the cops are trying new things... like not wearing riot gear. They feel it makes them look bad.. REALLY????

Once the cops do go too far at some really large protest, I think the people are going to say enough is enough, and that's going to be the end of trying to work together.

I could be wrong, but right now it's been quite a standoff between the two.. who's gonna flinch?

What if the NY folks don't clean their mess?

I guess they waller in their squaller.

I'm waiting to see if tomorrow morning if they end up with another bridge style arrest party.

Can't decide if Mayor dipshit is stupid enough to force the issue or not. There are a HELL of a lotta people there, and more that plan to be there for support from what I've been reading.

I've seen this flick before.

But I won't spoil the ending for anyone.

Aw c'mon Chas, I can't wait to see the real ending. We had an occupy Kansas City, but I think the 20 people got the munchies and left (no pun intended).
