1. Bostonians upholding a long honorable tradition. Hopefully your cops...
won't be like the New York cops and start acting like Redcoats.

2. Cops were respectful and approachable today
They were extremely polite, although some people claimed they were itching for a head banging. I didn't sense that today.

9. I occupied for a couple of hours

I needed to run back home to write 4 papers for class.

I'd say, when I was there, maybe 300 or 400 people. Based on Raz's photos, the crowd got much bigger after I left. Supposedly, students from Boston colleges were marching from the commons to the Occupy site. Tomorrow and Monday are supposed to be busy there.

11. I just now found Raz's page and the pics with you, him and unhappy camper!

The crowd was really impressive size, too.

Love that one shirt sign: "The hippies were right"

Good times, good times.
