It is a shame you're not covering the #OccupyFremont rallies.

We were so successful the 1 percenters had to cut off power to North Fremont!

Reminds me of a Critical Mass "parade".

Selective photo editing to be sure:

The cops must've been terrified by their "massive" presence in this vast and popular social uprising.

Or -- It was about about 80 inactivists, soaked through their socks with indignation that Seattle recognizes their social irrelevance, organizational ineptitude and political impotence

@5 not really; that photo you ink to is from the same flicker feed the article links to.

Just realized that not two hours ago I was on a bus going down 5th, right past Westlake Center (although on the other side from the park), and didn't notice a single thing out of the ordinary. Maybe I slept through it?
