(29,082 posts)I figured most were dropped. The occupiers in my town had a very different experience. At first, it appeared the police might get aggressive; instead they told us that they actually appreciated our presence in a high crime area of town. We fed down and out homeless folks, provided clothing, tents, assistance getting medical help for people including a homeless pregnant teen. Our group lasted for almost 4 months. And after dismantling the camp, they cleaned, re-seeded the grass and tried to leave all as we found it.
While I do think this country has a very bad track record concerning our right to peaceful assembly, I am not going to call it domestic terrorism when Obama does it because this is the way they have always acted. I would call it violating our Constitutional rights.
