In Chicago they had a monument to the police that kept getting messed up (because the Haymarket incident was actually a police riot that the media blamed on radicals) until they removed it entirely. In Scotland they had a monument to William Wallace that looked like Mel Gibson, the scots hated it and they had to put a fence around it and finally remove it. Now Occupy is all about positive change so that doesn't really apply. But I am wondering why it's not possible to convene around the bronze bull, is Zucotti the only park near Wall St?
