1. The police promotion of OWS continues!

You would think that the NYC actions would serve as a warning to other cities.
Nope.

7. Everyone in Chicago should go down there tonight...

Seriously, there is trength in numbers and they cannot possible arrest everyone can they?

8. No, they can't arrest everyone, but everyone won't have the luxury of being arrested either.

Such as single parents, elderly, etc.

I totally agree with your sense of outrage tho, and it IS true that if EVERYone who gave a shit
would show up in mass, the cops would probably have to back down .... Or unless they could
convince Sgt. Thomas to come stand in the breach..
