The suits and ties aren't planting anything that good.<br /><br />These Movements out here are experiments in self-regulating Chaos. But then down swoops the dark enclosing wing of Order.<br /><br />Last night, the Occupy Oakland site was forcibly evicted. The Mayor of Oakland was (conveniently) out of town overnight. In the past few hours, a force of 200 Oakland cops massed at Treasure Island. "They're not just there to drink beer and tell stories". It has been speculated that they are on the move across the bridge to support SF cops in closing down Occupy SF. Meanwhile SFPD is reported to be on the ready at a staging area with prisoner transport buses. But at two a.m. five members of the SF Board of Sups met, apparently in an effort to forestall the sort of violence that happened last night when the Oakland police closed down the site there. (One man from the Oakland site, an Iraq vet, hit in the head by a point blank blast of a tear gas canister, has a fractured skull, brain swelling and has been put into a "chemically induced coma".)<br /><br />Nobody really knows what may happen.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.livestream.com/occupyfdsf" rel="nofollow">Occupy SF Live Stream</a>TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139185550151027390.post-5485896596391511542011-10-26T09:56:46.667-07:002011-10-26T09:56:46.667-07:00You are right, Tom, that success can never be ulti...You are right, Tom, that success can never be ultimately achieved, and chaos is always part of the equation, but how about the chaos those fools in suits and ties floors above inflict daily? I love the Living's optimism — Judith keeps it real, and on an even keel.
