The Almost Battle Of Woodruff Park
11:58:15PM “who do you serve, who do you protect”. The police arrest infrastructure is lining up on the sidewalks outside Woodruff Park. The crowd is chanting “who do you serve, who do you protect”. The park has been officially closed for 58 minutes. The police assault is believed to be imminent. 11:59:25 PM “whose park our park, whose park our park” “reply to the general welfare” There was an announcement to those with children, and those whose alien status is uncertain, to please move to the sidewalk. There is a division between the people who want to get arrested, and those who are not into that. 12:12:25 AM Commercial break on the live feed from slim jims spicy sticks. A representative from the mayor’s office was talking to reporters, and was shouted down by protesters. 12:19:13 AM The ad on the feed is from blue cross blue shield. “Lets show them lets show them that we are not that we are not leaving leaving” 12:27:28 AM They are having a “general assembly” in “troy davis park”. This means that some lady is screaming at the crowd, and they are repeating what she says back to her. They have decided to re occupy the park, and the Mayor is on the way to address the crowd. The police have not moved in yet, and some say they have backed down. There was an apparent massing of police forces on the fringe of the crowd, and now the police seem to be backing off. 12:37:52 AM The fishwrapper has announced that the mayor is allowing the people to stay. They are going to stay anyway. 12:45:21 AM rairojasii Rai Rojas Not sure if shouting “I am Troy Davis” to hundreds of police about to arrest you is wise. #OccupyAtlanta. #copkiller /// dezlock dezlock Really tempted to make a late night doughnut run to get the cops hopped up on sugar & caffeine before they clean up the park #OccupyAtlanta /// The general assembly is discussing what to say to the mayor when he arrives at the park. This speaker says and crowd repeats format that the meeting is taking gets very tiresome very fast. I hope this is not the way meetings go on from now on. /// “the press is on our ass, be on your best behavior please” 12:50:42 AM GrouchoMarxist Jon D.A. @KasimReed Please let #occupyatlanta stay in Troy Davis park. They are peaceful people, your constituents, your allies. Stand with them. 1:02:45 AM who is taking minutes…it’s important for transparency…I kind of am.. PG went downtown with Uzi Sunday afternoon to see the Occupy Atlanta facility. They found a parking lot on John Wesley Dobbs Avenue, and paid two dollars for two hours of parking. The parking meters in Atlanta are notoriously corrupt, and PG was eagar to get back to his vehicle. As it turned out, the car was there, unbooted and unbrokeninto, when they got back. Uzi wondered how the “real” homeless people felt about these hippies moving into the park. PG thought this was a good question. Then the park came into view. PG got a pictures of the camp with the Coca Cola sign in the background. Next was an image with the encampment in front of the GP building. Uzi did not know that the Koch Brothers own GP. PG has mixed feelings about renaming the park for Troy Davis. The Woodruff family has been good for the city. While there is enough doubt about the guilt of Mr. Davis to object to his execution, PG does not want to make a hero out of the man. Learning about an issue will do that for you. 1:22:32 AM Quinnnerd Quinn Edgar Mayor needs to come so I can sleep. #occupyatlanta /// The GA is getting stuck on the issue of whether to ask the mayor whether to rename Woodruff Park as Troy Davis Park. “he will realize that his opinion is secondary””we should be asking the mayor to abolish the death penalty” /// 1:25:11 AM caulkthewagon Robin by Occupy_Boston We will rack up arrest records ten miles long. We don’t fucking care. We have nothing left to lose. /// some say the Boston police are moving in, some say they are backing down /// drewwill Drew @ RT @RTColvin: Wouldn’t it be neat if #OccupyAtlanta was really a @WalkingDead_AMC marketing stunt? #whenwilltheyturnintozombies /// 1:35:31 AM mike check i would like to propose that mayor reed provide better restrooms for this park ///make check i would propose to turn those g-d awful sprinklers off /// 1:37:38 AM the general assembly decides that the mayor is not going to come, and that tonight is a tremendous win for the people of atlanta 1:42:07 AM Occupy_Boston Occupy Boston KEEP TAKING PICTURES.
