Did they think they needed one? They are being blocked because they didn't have a "parade" permit. LOL

A waste of time and energy, but, it 'is' a lesson in futility LOL...

People are getting tired of them. They are accomplishing nothing. All people think they are, are a collection of dirty, uncouth, loudmouth, obnoxious, malcontented idiots who dont know a thing, and are gathering there just to have someplace to call 'home'...sheesh.
(My opinion of them too).

I wish you well...

Jesse

Gathering in a public park, sidewalks etc,.. is all public property and not needed. The tea party on the other hand had highly orchestrated events with large stages, music performances, speakers, and politicians. They also needed large space to park all those tea party express buses the Koch's needed to bring in the supporters.
OWS is a completely grass roots movement where the tea party was astroturf as can be. Their events were just sitting around watching Palin and Beck talk, then just go home when they are done. The tea party gatherings were mostly a concert or entertainment event to drum up support for a tea party candidate, and not an actual rally or protest.
