Wow, the police are really hammering all the Occupy encampments, it seems, everywhere. It's almost like there is a plan to remove them all at the same time. And it seems that the US at least there was a plan. Clearly someone in power is not happy about this movement.
And the funny thing is that if you look at it, these are just peaceful people spending time together, building interesting organizing structures and going on the occasional march. In some ways it's hardly a challenge to the powerful. Then again they are shining a huge bright light on the corruption at the heart of everything. I'm particularly happy that the occupiers are encouraging people to move their money out of banks to local credit unions.
This article presents a case why the reaction to the occupiers is so forceful. She makes an interesting point that if it was just a problem with people camping out then no one would be allowed to camp out for tickets to concerts and other shows.
