[QUOTE="ridahsofdizoom:1242143"]I was at the event the other day and my friend, a fellow Lynner, is one of the organizer. He knows his shit for a young dude, he was down in Chile organizing student protests and he was in NYC at Occupy Wallstreet. Basically the goal is to end the corruption of the 1 percent, demands include profits over people, affordable or free health care, education, jobs for all, and end the crimes of poverty, etc. He and the organizers have tried to do their best to keep politics out of it, in fact he has gotten into some heated arguments with a local chapter of Socialist Alternative, who tried to hijack the movement and attach their beliefs onto the fliers...sadly they actually showed up and set their table up, a small group of people...but very loud and assertive... I would say the people there were mostly students believing in some form of of lite democratic socialism, even if they don't know what it's called, something like the nordic countries employ. There were old people, kids, workers, vets, and even business types still in their suits. I saw anarchists, libertarians, communists, socialists, more radical dems, even some local christian youth groups [URL]http://www.livestream.com/occupyboston[/URL] that's a live stream, I left at about 830, from what I heard they planned on a short march near the bars to make some noise last night, wonder if there were any arrests. Police presence at night was actually pretty relaxed, only about three officers hanging out in the distance when I left. Surprisingly the city is cool with tents, tarps, and what not even though there are no permits. [URL]http://occupyboston.com/[/URL] I guess they got hit hard with the rain, I'm being a bit cynical but I feel like the storm headed this way is going to limit numbers over this week, but there is a core group of a few hundred who are mostly students, jobless, and are fairly committed to keeping the tent city up. also Chomsky is supposed to drop by or something today.[/QUOTE]
