I was just watching the LiveStream and noticed they were doing the chant-like, repeat after the speaker, thing. OWS does this all the time, during the meetings and on the marches. What's that all about?
I can only imagine what the minutes of those meetings look like.
Human microphone. They can only have 1 megaphone, so everyone echoes the message to the back of the crowd. It does sound creepy (like a cult), though.
Thank you, Proph. That makes sense. (And yes, it is pretty creepy. I thought they were trying to do some sort of mind meld or something. lol)
