Occupy

Occupy protests now have the backing of one of the Tea Party Express founders

"One of the things that the Occupy movement seems to have going for it is it has not turned around and issued a set of formal demands," said Denninger. "This is a good thing, not a bad thing. Everyone is looking for a set of demands." Denninger added that once the protesters formally approach the banks and government with a list of demands, "then somebody is going to say, 'Well, we gave you 70 percent. Now go home.'"

In the case of the Tea Party, Denninger says such organization was actually the group's downfall. "One of the things we wanted was the end to bailouts and an end to government deficit spending, and as you can see that didn't happen," said Denninger, who today manages The Market Ticker.

Denninger added that demonstrators with Occupy Wall Street and the offshoots across the world shouldn't just abandon their goals. "Stay on message, which is that the corruption is not a singular event," he said. "You can't focus in one place. You have to get the money out of politics, which is very difficult to do, but at the same time you can't silence people's voice."

Why were they arrested?

Carrying on and staying past the park's closing time.  I think the police just did it so the hardcore OWS members could up their protester cred.  The arrests were made professionally, with no head-cracking or other hilarity.

Happened to wander past Occupy Providence last night.  Bunch of tents set up in a small (like, spit across small) park, lots of signs (at least spelled correctly, from a quick look), and not a lot of people.  Small drum circle, not much else.

This is Tucson, Charley...The police are relieved to only have to manage a few hundred protesters, who aren't inclined to violence.  Horrible drunken domestic disputes, or a bunch of people holding signs.  Which would YOU rather deal with?
