protests
So a judge has finally decided that the Occupy movements do not have the constitutional right to stay in public parks overnight. It is about time that somebody put some common sense into this movement. The judge has said that there is plenty of time and avenues open to the movement to make their protests heard between 7 and midnight. The message they bring is valid and needs to be heard but it is far from needing an Arab Spring or a Civil Rights Movement to have their voice heard. What I find amusing is that during the court fights the occupiers were using the very 1% (lawyers, newspaper execs, technology giants) to get their message across. Perhaps you have to use the system to fight the system but if that is the case where were these people during the elections. Occupiers keep pushing the message it needs to be heard but like mud slinging political ads you run the risk of losing those that sympathise with your cause
