Ugh, they're doing an "Occupy" protest in my town... - General

bad

I would show up in a tuxedo wearing a top hat and monocle combo

Show up in a che shirt, tattered jeans, and with bongo drums. And carry a sign that says "I dont know what the fuck im here for"

I would go but Yuma is a fucking ghost town last I checked

badd

Attack them with a stick while screaming "GIT OUWTA MA TOWYN YA NO GUD HIPPAS!"

I think I saw people trying to set up an Occupy Leeds, bearing in mind Leeds is really a student city I can't see how they'd have time between drinking themselves to death and doing everything at the last minute to protest.

All i hear from this is "ugh i liked the protest before it was cool" What the fuck is a tiny group of people protesting going to accomplish, it's like you expect shit to get done without it getting bigger and bigger. People aren't happy with the way things are going right now and that's all people need.

Wear a Gumby costume and just stand around them or in front of them.

Throw burning rocks at them.

In Glasgow, it's actually quite good. We have tents with a kitchen, areas to chill. We fed some homeless people the other night, have 3G internet and car batteries with laptop chargers and stuff. It's great.

They occupied my town, Byron Bay, about a week ago. [img]http://www.101worldtravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Byron-Bay-3.jpg[/img] look at this corporate oppression

There's one going on here in pensacola, its absolutely stupid. I don't know what they think they'll achieve here

[QUOTE=mjbrooks194;32894292]I was referring to the quote that the people involved have no real idea what they're protesting anymore. Sure, there's a few stickin to the general idea but for most part they're just going out there with no goal. I'm talking about this protest in particular, not all of the others going on world wide.[/QUOTE] Maybe in Yuma they don't, but nearly every protester I've spoken to here in California has a sound idea of what's going on.

Dress up like a hippie and (pretend) to smoke pot.

They're in Bristol as well ¬¬

[QUOTE=redback3;32894396]They're in Bristol as well ¬¬[/QUOTE] I can't blame them. Bristol's great.

If you really believe no one has any idea what they're talking about, here's Cenk Uygur from the Progressive news show The Young Turks proposing a constitutional convention to revoke corporate personhood and a PAC to do so: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykLB0d4KNAc[/media]

Spreading =/= mimicking.

Protest the protest.

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;32895760]Protest the protest.[/QUOTE] That's just stupid.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;32895836]That's just stupid.[/QUOTE] How so? [sp]Are you stalking me or something?[/sp]

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;32895853]How so?[/QUOTE] Why would you do that?

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;32895923]Why would you do that?[/QUOTE] Same reason you'd protest anything else.

I wonder if they have one going on in raliegh...

Interview them and see if more than 50 of them know what they're protesting about.

Even if half of them don't know what they're there for, if nothing else its a worldwide display of dissatisfaction with the current economic system.
