As hundreds of peaceful Occupy L.A. protestors welcome day three of the grassroots movement, their stomachs refrain from grumbling thanks to one word: pizza. Crooks and Liars, a widely-read liberal blog, added a PayPal button fundraiser on their site and has since raised $8,600 from 300 donors to feed the open mouths of Occupy protestors. Crooks and Liars scours cities where the Occupy revolution is transpiring for local pizzerias that will support occupiers via solidarity pizza delivery. Other participating eateries include Al Capone's in Boston, Escape from New York Pizza in San Francisco and Liberatos Pizza in New York. Occupy L.A. protestors will continue their revolution with the following demands at the forefront of their mission. We want the change we were promised and never received. "We are leaderless.

Occupy Toronto Protests
The Occupy Toronto movement has set up shop at St. James Park near Church and Adelaide streets, where thousands are participating in a variety of peaceful demonstrations. The crowd departed King and Bay shortly after 11 a.m. to make their way to the previously unspecified location for the occupation, which will continue indefinitely. Thus far the atmosphere has been more enthusiastic than combative, as participants rally against everything from unfettered capitalism and corporate greed to Native land rights.

Jimmy Marr and his wife (don't know her name) have long been a problem in Oregon. For instance there is a 2011 report of them regularly harassing people in Eugene, outside of a popular coffee house. The two photos here of their salutes are from that report. Since Jimmy was active in the recent Olympia White Man March, active in photo ops at the time and forum discussions after, I've been reading up a bit on him. Village Voice has an article up on the March 15 White Man March: Racists Declare White Man March a Success, Everyone Else Wonders If It Actually Happened The Village Voice article includes an Olympia photo. Perhaps Jimmy Marr and crew came to Olympia in order to do quick photo ops without disruption, photos and video they then can use for recruiting.
Protest On Wall Street Is Louder Online Than Off
Even by participants’ own estimates, the ongoing OccupyWallStreet demonstration in New York City hasn’t been very big--between 500 and 700 protestors near the famous bronze bull statue at its peak on Saturday afternoon attended, and perhaps 200 slept over in a park near Ground Zero on Saturday and Sunday nights. But this small action against bank bailouts, public spending cuts, and money in politics has drawn an outsized presence in the tech and media world. Highlights include high Twitter hashtag rankings, realtime crowd-sourced mapping, SEO optimization, and the possible involvement of WikiLeaks and hacker collective Anonymous. Many protestors cited demonstrations in Egypt--and their use of social media to jump-start a revolution--as an inspiration. "This couldn’t have happened without Tahrir Square," said a Rutgers student named Annalee (few protestors would give their last names). "I was there a week before, and I knew something was up.

"Occupy Wall Street": Obama adelt Demonstranten - International
WashingtonUS-Präsident Barack Obama hat Verständnis für die Bewegung „Occupy Wall Street“ geäußert. „Sie drückt aus, was viele Menschen über unser Finanzsystem denken“, sagte Obama am Donnerstag bei einer Pressekonferenz über seine Job-Gesetze. Die Leute seien frustriert, dass die Finanzkrise derart harte Folgen für ihr normales Leben habe. „Die Menschen verstehen, dass nicht jeder in diesem Land die Regeln befolgt, und sehen in der Wall Street ein Beispiel dafür“. Auf Nachfrage sagte Obama über die Bewegung, ohne sie beim Namen zu nennen, er habe „von ihr gehört und sie im Fernsehen gesehen“. Es ist das erste Mal, dass sich Obama öffentlich über „Occupy Wall Street“ geäußert hat. Die Wut der Aktivisten, die inzwischen in fast allen größeren Städten der USA demonstrieren, richtet sich vor alle gegen die Macht der Banken. Zugleich forderte Obama am Donnerstag die Banken dazu auf, sich stärker ihrem Kerngeschäft zu widmen.
