All of that being said, I think its wrong that the bylaws were enforced on a guy with a truck and continually ignored regarding the other protestors. I really don't care about either protest a whole lot, but its seemingly obvious case of selective enforcement. I'm surprised that isn't more well acknowledged on this board, whether you agree with the message or not.

How can you not see this occupy movement is a special case for now? Most cities in North America are cutting these people some temporary slack and the ones that aren't are donning riot gear. I'm glad we aren't extending that slack to misguided self-aggrandizing hillbillies in pickup trucks.
