Jack, I just emailed you some pictures I took from inside Standard Insurance. We are in lockdown now...

Nothing much happening, other than a bunch of protesters who seem hell bent on reallocating money from assorted city projects into the police department's overtime budget.

From what I see so far, letting them take over a park, keeping them all in one spot, was a better idea then the roving crowds right now.
Reminds me when LE complains about a business or place "attracting" problems. I always thought it makes it a lot easier to baby sit them.
Reality Theater goes on!

Sam Adams and Mike Reese have it under control.

The protesters down in Eugene are sure a lot more calm. They never seem to leave their camp. I'm sure its because they are all high as kites though....

Protesters in front of Bank of America were literally burning dollar bills just now. Because, uh, that'll hurt the banks? I really have no idea. Not sure that's going to play well with the 99%.

Re the burning bills -- the Oregonian feed says that they are fake bills.
Posted by Tung Yin | November 17, 2011 2:07 PM
Fair enough. Good to know.
Posted by Dave J. | November 17, 2011 2:08 PM
Sounds like McCoy just got charged by the feds with taking bribes.
Posted by Dave J. | November 17, 2011 2:17 PM
...the Oregonian feed says that they are fake bills.
They probably know that because they printed them - given their excess capacity these days.
Posted by cc | November 17, 2011 2:19 PM
Scanner sounds like LE ready to move in if marchers misbehave. Have bike cops and a mobile team on standby. no live feeds that i know of at this time.
Posted by dman | November 17, 2011 2:38 PM
Isn't burning that processed wood product pollution? Shouldn't they be charged with crimes against the planet for burning fake dollars?
Posted by Erik H. | November 17, 2011 2:43 PM
Apparently the protesters have a van full of camping gear en route, and they are under the impression they'll be allowed to camp in front of B of A.

Occupy Portland protesters are now surrounding Pioneer Square. Portland Police warning them that they are subject to arrest if they do not move out of the streets and to the sidewalks. The StarWars Darth Vader theme is playing in the background.

Bojack sticker used to fight protesters:
2:01 p.m.: Battle of the signs at Bank of America at SW 2nd and Morrison. Protesters outside the bank posted a sign to the door saying: “Foreclosed” while workers inside the bank put up a sign aimed out saying: “Weird isn’t working.”

Ongoing cluster puck. By chase Bank police push people into street. Then a few minutes later send a squad to clear the street. So the try to move back on the sidewalk...
What theater...

Pepper spray in use now
Posted by dman | November 17, 2011 4:26 PM
This doesn't look like a fake dollar bill being burned, btw.
http://media.katu.com/images/111117_burning_bill.jpg
If that's fake, it is counterfeit-grade.
Posted by Dave J. | November 17, 2011 4:53 PM
Perhaps my favorite Occupy story this week can be found here.
Just days after protesting at, and vandalizing, a Wells Fargo branch, guess where Occupy Oakland voted to deposit its $20,000 in donations? That's right, Wells Fargo.
Posted by Pragmatic Portlander | November 17, 2011 5:12 PM
They're burning $1 bills?
Let me know when they start burning real money.
