Please JOIN: FINAL Rose Parade Action Preparation Meeting (Updated 2)

[JDPriestly]

5. Occupy did not "disrupt the game" last year.

There was a calm march at the end of the Rose Bowl parade followed by some talks and music. Then everyone calmly dispersed.

The police seemed nervous. Everyone else held signs reminding the crowds that all is not well in corporate America -- and then everyone went home.

Good time was had by all.

No problem. The officers who stood at the ready just in case were smiling and friendly just like everyone else.

You must have missed it because if you had been there, I wouldn't need to respond to your comment and set the record straight.

At least in LA, the Occupy movement has been utterly and absolutely non-violent and respectful. A lot of frustrated middle-class people are supporting Occupy in their hearts if not with their bodies.

The excesses of the corporate and banking cartels are hurting a lot of people. It isn't right. And that is what Occupy is protesting. I would venture to guess that, if they knew the facts and understood Occupy, most people would support the movement -- even football fans.
