OccupyMN, Oct 15, 2011
Saturday the 15th of Ocober was yet another spectacular fall day. An excellent day to take a bike ride and I knew where there would be a great event to hang out at for a few hours. So I ventured down to the People's Plaza in downtown Minneapolis. A place where everybody who believes in equality and justice can feel immediately at home. Go and experience a change in the direction of our country. Go and help make a difference, go to see, go to encourage, go to be encouraged. We the people . . .

Hennepin County & the People At The Plaza
I would like to voice my opinion about the lack of support the participants have recieved from our elected officials. Occupy MN was a planned LEGAL activity for which all proper permits required by the county and the City of Minneapolis were obtained to peacefully assemble 24 hours a day in support of OWC. Having issued this permit until 1-1-2012, you would hacve to know that people would need to camp at the site. How unfair. To further escalt this assault on the demonstraters, after the second day of the assebly the elecricity was cut off. When protesters errected shelter their tents were confiscated by police in the early hours of the morning. These same officials earlier allowed the tents to be erected in front of the PRESS! Tell me, Who here is in support of these barbaric means of countrol by county and local officials?
In Solidarity, Joe Hill
