Occupy Charlotte officially breaks up with itself (legal, retire, problems)

A day after Occupy Charlotte's three-month anniversary, nine members of the group announced plans to form a new organization, the People's Coalition of the Carolinas.
The move came three days after four men were arrested at Old City Hall where Occupy Charlotte has been camping since Oct. 8, a week after it formed. The men were arrested after allegedly setting fire to two American flags that had flanked the OC information desk.

"I don't think we can deny that we've lost some momentum," Don Faix, a 65-year-old retiree and occupier who doesn't camp. For about two and a half months, he's driven to the occupation most days from Concord to man the group's information desk.
