Occupy Unveils ‘Spring Awakening’
During the long winter months, Occupy protesters kept reassuring those of us in the media still covering their actions that the spring would prove to be a time of resurgence for Occupy Wall Street. If the “Spring Awakening” meet-up at Central Park this past weekend is any indication of future turnouts, OWS organizers may be correct in their predictions.
Some of those Occupy protesters who famously got face fulls of pepper spray last November on the campus of University of California Davis have now filed suit in federal court.
They allege “the university used excessive force to break up the demonstration,” The Sacramento Bee writes. “The Occupy UC Davis students were sprayed as they sat on the ground.”
The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California is assisting the 19 students and alumni who are suing.
FOUR OCCUPY Wall Street protesters have been charged with inciting a riot after clashing with police when they were tossed out of a vacant Brooklyn luxury building. One of the protesters pepper-sprayed an officer, police said.
my poor buddy ted has lost his mind.

The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. “Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.
(Part two is tonight, and how awesome would it be if Stephen really did put his SuperPAC bucks behind OWS?)
