48. Fire Walk of the 7762

Fri Aug 16, 2013, 01:33 PM

Aug 2013

How many were found guilty of crimes? Or were most charges dropped? I know for a fact at my Occupy camp, only one arrest and it was a crackhead who stole, started fights, and eventually was arrested for threatening campers with a knife and throwing lighter fluid on tents. I think he spent one night in jail. So at least one of the many arrests was not an occupier.
