Occupy Wall Street Protesters Get Their Day in Court | MetroFocus What is an ACD? An adjournment contemplating dismissal, commonly referred to as an ACD, is a form of conditional probation. It is not an admission of guilt, nor is it an affirmation of innocence, Stolar explained. But ACDs do have other legal implications, he said, particularly for non-citizens and for people who may be involved in other types of criminal or civil cases. A defendant who accepts an offer of an ACD does not have to decide whether to plead guilty or not guilty. According to a source in the district attorney’s office, ACDs are typically offered to “first time offenders, who maybe didn’t make a great decision but who you know you are not going to be asking for jail time for” because it’s “not someone who benefits from being entered into the criminal justice system and [they] don’t deserve having a black mark on their record.” The second mass arrest of Occupy Wall Street protesters resulted in more than 700 arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge on Oct. 1.

Occupy Wall Street: The Most Important Thing in the World Now Published in The Nation. I was honored to be invited to speak at Occupy Wall Street on Thursday night. Since amplification is (disgracefully) banned, and everything I said had to be repeated by hundreds of people so others could hear (a.k.a. “the human microphone”), what I actually said at Liberty Plaza had to be very short. With that in mind, here is the longer, uncut version of the speech. I love you. And I didn’t just say that so that hundreds of you would shout “I love you” back, though that is obviously a bonus feature of the human microphone. Yesterday, one of the speakers at the labor rally said: “We found each other.” If there is one thing I know, it is that the 1 percent loves a crisis. And there is only one thing that can block this tactic, and fortunately, it’s a very big thing: the 99 percent. That slogan began in Italy in 2008. “Why are they protesting?” But there are important differences too. Occupy Wall Street, on the other hand, has chosen a fixed target. - What we wear.

Occupy Wall Street | NYC Protest for American Revolution 15th october: #United we will re-invent the world OWS Facebook What do we want again? Occupy Wall St takes hold of Australia "Tens of thousands" expected soon "It's not radicals - just ordinary people" Australians prepare own occupations IT'S the protest movement that may not exactly know what it's protesting about - and may not have much chance of achieving it. Demontrators enraged by "corporate greed" plan to spread their message in capital cities across Australia tomorrow as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. As news.com.au tracked down Australians at the original Wall Street protest in New York, organisers of the local offshoots said they planned to set up a permanent campsite outside the Reserve Bank in Sydney to highlight "massive inequalities in Australia". "People are coming will all sorts of reasons to get out on the streets," one said. However, economist Professor Ian Harper, of Deloitte Access Economics, was unsure what the Australian protest was trying to achieve. "If they don't have a clear set of demands, I'm not quite sure what this is going to achieve," he said.
