Occupy Chicago marched again Saturday night. The weather was unseasonably warm--but there were noticeably fewer marchers compared to seven days prior. My guess? About 1,000 showed. Last week's hootenanny had about 2,000 to 3,000 lefties.
And they are off! The march began on Jackson Boulevard next to the Bank of America Building. It ended at Grant Park about a mile away. Last week 175 of them were arrested when they refused to leave. Fox 32 Chicago is reporting more are getting arrested as I write this entry.
A white woman in her twenties was carrying this sign. Feel the love! Oh, I thought we were supposed to be tolerant of the sexual identities of others. I'm confused here. And why bring race into the discussion?
More love! I've been to about a dozen tea parties--and I've never seen a sign comparing anyone to Osama bin Laden at any of them. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke is not a favorite of mine, but he is no terrorist.
The International Association of Machinists filed an unfair labor practice charge against Boeing because it had the audacity to build a plant in South Carolina, a right-to-work state. The factory will employ several thousand workers. President Obama's radicalized National Labor Relations Board is siding with the IAM in that dispute. If the NLRB and the union gets its way, the end result could be more jobs--outside of the United States. Note the sign and the jacket. A child from a mixed-marriage?
I thought these guys wanted less class warfare. Oh moar is urban slang for more...as in more and roar.
Occupy Wall Street and Occupy whatever is not mainstream.
From the CIA World Factbook's Afghanistan entry on that nation's industries: "Small-scale production of textiles, soap, furniture, shoes, fertilizer, apparel, food-products, non-alcoholic beverages, mineral water, cement; handwoven carpets; natural gas, coal, copper."
No oil. Sheesh.
Yes, real mainstream, these OWS folks. I'll have more on alleged police crimes later today.
