Martin Luther King, Jr. (with compatriots) take over a private building in Chicago in 1965.

35. Another thing it appears many people here are not aware of, the 'teach-ins' that take place

at Occupy sites and they have had some fascinating and renowned teachers, on the economy eg, Stiglitz was teaching them at Zuccotti Park so people understood how things got so bad. They also studied other movements and many of their ideas have come from those studies.

But to see all of the ignorant comments about 'stealing property' with no clue about the history of these kinds of tactics (I did not know about MLK, but did know about other countries and how successful those tactics were and in the end, how beneficial to the communities in general.

I really hope they do manage to take over some buildings and provide warm places for the homeless and food for the hungry, as they were doing before they were removed from the parks.

I read btw, that crime was DOWN in Oakland's park while the occupiers were there. If I had the money, I would donate a building to them.

What I don't get is why the Cities, who are so busy going after them and preventing them from helping the needy, do not do this themselves, provide homes for the homeless who are thrown into the freezing cold streets where often they die.
