My friend has seen an undercover in a business suit with boots rough handling people. I don't mean to instigate, but how much we are being watched? Kind of creepy.
Also, it's cold in the park. I was just wondering how every one plans to stay warm as they continue occupation? I didn't see any hot water bottles or even hand/body warmers- it's important to keep warm to be strong and healthy..
Lastly, there was a report on people being robbed in the park. I didn't see anything like that. Is there any truth to this? How can occupiers keep their belongings safe?
One More, Is OccupyR.com part of OWS? They say they are affiliated.
I'd probably buy bicycle chains and make sure your stuff is secured. And maybe buy some of those mini-locks from Home Depot.

very true, i have a lot of postings. if you read mine, they are about issues, offering resources, trying to work with people like you. your posts are negative, pointing fingers at the movement, and generally pissy. sorry you missed the point.
At least I'm not trying to promote my blog- like you just did.
i amm. yep. are you anti-capitalism? besides, you prove my point. you grab an idea and run with it like A.D.D.
no paid advertising on my blog. my blog is purely political, and supplies links to alternate forums and supporting organizations. yeah, i am promoting my blog. is that really an accusation? trying to be patient with you but i feel you are not capable of really grasping this thing.
You are not trying to be patient, you're trying to instigate. Calling me pissy? You should control your anger, you may find you're wrong about a stranger and then regret being so harsh. I do have a problem with self-promotion here, I think it's distasteful- that's why I mentioned it. I'm not going to argue with you, I just wanted my questions answered.
nobody is angry, but i have given this all the time it deserves. grow up or go away.
Learn how to talk to people.
I'm not a troll, I just have a lot of free time. I mean, they're good questions.
ok, but if you wana have an impact, remember the movement is not about party or picking a politician from our political cesspool, or potheads, or the fringe, or any other crap tat you find in society every day. it's stupid to expect you can get together a chunk of society and suddenly humans stop being human.
What are you saying? I think you're missing the point. We offer different ideas. I'm being positive and analyzing people's concerns and opinions. I post about issues as well. You're claiming the facts and ideas I have are not as important as yours and you attack my character and intelligence. I've said plenty of times I support OWS. How do we even begin to describe "Humans...being human"?
ok so why are you focusing on potheads and robberies?
What are you talking about, 'potheads' and robberies. I didn't even see any one smoking in the park- it's surrounded by police. It's part of OWS and being probably being watched. People shouldn't be getting robbed, just wondering if any one heard that it was actually happening.
