(really do not know anything about that which is why I am asking) or was it the fact that Rahm has attempted to make Occupy illegal. Not sure either how much support he got for that.

It would be a shame to lose good reps, but if they voted for Rahm's attempts to silence people, I could see why people might protest that.

As I said though, I do not know why they were there.
