Just noticed this taped to a lamp post on Pike Street. There will be a port shutdown tomorrow. FYI.

Even though I’ve lost 90% of my confidence in the Occupy Movement, I’ve tried to shy away from outright badmouthing them. After all, what in the hell am I doing to rescue the nation from corruption? As a man who now has a family, I can no longer stand on the front lines and take a snifter of teargas for the greater good. I’ve done my time in...

It looks like Occupy Seattle is all but over. At least as far as Westlake Park is concerned. I went by Westlake Park today and the cops outnumbered the protesters. There were maybe a couple dozen people still standing around with signs and about 40 cops making sure those numbers did not grow. I hate to say it, but victory is theirs. The corporations, the...

Today, security at Westlake Center committed assault and battery upon a man photographing today’s Occupy Seattle Rally. Please read the following account: http://rippdemup.visibli.com/share/wgJF7F I am a person who lives mere blocks from Westlake Center, and I spend a fair share of my meager disposable income in the place – but I will not spend...

Download Video: MP4 Things got real this afternoon as about a thousand people descended on Downtown Seattle in the largest single turnout for Occupy Seattle since the beginning of the campaign. For the first time, I am very cautiously optimistic that this could be the beginning of a snowball. I’m starting to have a minute shred of...

Yesterday, I went by Westlake Park, and I was a bit disheartened to find that the park was still being occupied, only this time, it was being occupied by the police. As I looked at the cop cars lined up on the concrete, I realized that the supposed 99% had been defeated by the supposed 1% yet again. Several months ago, the wives of police officers stood on...

I headed over to Westlake Park this afternoon to catch the beginning of today’s march. I shot the video below:

The occupation of Seattle continues, and it’s been growing at a steady clip. I drop by Westlake Park once or twice per day to lend my moral support, and I took these shots about 15 minutes ago. There will be a march to City Hall at 4:00pm or thereabouts. If you’re thinking about driving Downtown this afternoon, think again. Hopefully these rallies...

The Westlake occupation grew from 6 tents to several dozen tents over the past three days. Today, the SPD kicked tents out of Westlake Park and sent garbage trucks through to clear people out. Parts of 4th Avenue were temporarily closed during the sweep and 25 people were arrested. Occupy Seattle Demonstrators vow to return to Westlake and camp sans-tents. One...

I headed over to Westlake Park this afternoon to check out the protest progress, and sure enough, it was being “occupied”. About a half-dozen tents have been set up to house the occupiers, and the park has been turned into a small village. Unfortunately, bank CEO’s don’t hang out in Westlake Park, especially on the weekends (perhaps an...

I just got back from the ‘Occupy Seattle’ Rally. For those who are unaware, in order to show solidarity with the ‘Occupy Wall Street Crowd’ in New York, a group of Seattleites have endeavored to occupy Westlake Park. They are going to try to occupy it for the next 72 hours. Why Westlake Park? Honestly, I don’t know. I guess because it’s the most...
