    Entropy creeped up and things got worse on both sides. I suppose it's bound to happen. "Everything goes to hell, anyways." :)

      Well, it is the police's job to prevent you from causing too much trouble to your rulers, so.. yeah :p

      Of course, the mere existence of OWS was troublesome for them, which is why the police were sent to harass you.

      I participated in Occupy Houston, so we had the oil and shipping industries pretty spooked. I never witnessed any of the over the top stuff that we saw in NYC and Berkley. There were plenty of arrests, but those are to be expected when you're engaging in civil disobedience. On the other hand there was the whole undercover Austin police officer and FBI sniper contingency plan which was pretty unnerving. The released FBI documents around that sniper plan showed that jurisdictions all over the country were terrified of what these protests could do to industry and infrastructure.

      I can't think of anything worthwhile to say to that, but here's a relevant little cartoon: http://i.imgur.com/G7g93L7.jpg
