Last Tuesday, exactly a week ago today, I saw images I will never forget. At first glance, one might think he's watching a violent revolution unfold in some third world country. Surely, this is not the United States of America, or is it?

If you are on Twitter, just hastag #ows for the latest information on the Occupy Wall Street Movement. If you would like to follow a particular occupation, just hastag the word occupation along with the particular location of it, such as: #OccupyDenver, which was a hot hastag this Saturday, when police moved in with full riot gear and attacked and arrested the peaceful demonstrators. You can see pictures of it here:

Here is one for you:
Wow, where have I been? first I heard or seen any of this. thanks for sharing.
Doesn't look like a peaceful protest to me. Thanks for posting the videos and the info on twitter. I really think though they should be protesting at the Mall in DC.
RESEARCH the history of the current Oakland mayor and HER police department * some perspective might be in order!
