I know, I know Occupy is dead... right

59. Might be good.

There are some that will be there. The core. The ones who care and who will not let that fear stop them from participating in what they feel is important.

But there are more that will stay home. Even at the height of Occupy, there were more that stayed home. Here in PDX there were 10k that first day. It was magnificent and empowering. But it meant that there were 570k that stayed home. And now, with the police in even what are often considered liberal bastions proving that they are not just willing, but intent on making free speech dangerous, I cant think that makes more people reluctant to participate. Its the rare person that really wants to be on the receiving end of a billy club or a teargas canister.

I admire those still out there. I wonder if there is still an occupy here in Portland. I lost touch with it over winter.
