Wow, the out of focus light blobs, seem to be really cracking down on the lens flares, that are bouncing all over the screen!

You have to love the ticker under the video stating that cops are using tear gas and beating the peaceful protesters. All I see is a few dozen people sitting on the ground surrounded by about 50 cops, and nobody moving a muscle.
The potential is there though.

Norm!

Nothing in the news about any real violent confrontations.
Looking at some pictures, I don't blame the city for booting them out even temporarily, they made the park into a pig sty

Unreal that they're restricting the press.
I really don't agree with this, any way it gets sliced.

It was probably my third of the month. You'd think they make one more productive.

How are they restricting the press? They did a pretty poor job if that was the goal seeing as I just clicked through 14 pictures and have read countless articles on the matter.
It's about time they removed them. These people seem to have been under the impression that their interests are the only ones that matter. to hell with the people that live and work in the community, we need to sit here in our own filth and refuse to actually do anything. Pathetic execution of a protest that had the ability to actually do a lot of good.

About time. They clearly weren't affecting any change.

I agree that Occupy Calgary was a joke and to an extent the Occupy movement in Canada did little to nothing to spark any sort of debate, but to say the Occupy Movement in the US didn't affect any change is a bit of a stretch.
For something that is what two months old now, it spurred a thousand local versions and dramatically changed the political discussion for the past two months, I'd hardly say that there wasn't any change. I'll agree that there wasn't a similar symbolic change as we've seen around the world in the past year (anyone who thought that would happen is delusional), but it's far to early to say what the outcome of the Occupy Wall Street Movement will be.
I'd say there are already some small victories, in the form of the Larger banks rolling back their debit card fees and to an extent Obama's push to help with student loan reform. They're small events, but the key is to look at the talking points and political discussion over the next little while. It'll be interesting to see how the conversation changes over the next months leading up to the 2012 elections. If everyone starts talking about income inequality, removing corporate influence in Washington, student loan reform, then I think you'll see a similar impact from OWS in 2012 as the Tea Party had in 2010.
