This Occupation Has Not Left

A few days ago, Cook County Associate Judge Thomas More Donnelly threw out charges stemming from the "Curfew Violations" last October when the Chicago Police Department was ordered (I heard the order come across the police radio as I was observing and recording) to "pull the plug" on the Occupation.

It seems that Selective enforcement of a 43 year old law is indeed unconstitutional. I guess it is only constitutional if they oppress everyone equally all the time. Since I am not a lawyer, I do not know.

 This, ruling, however, was a real gift to Occupy Chicago on its Anniversary. 
  
   
Message to the people from Occupy Chicago.


Last Sunday  was Occupy Chicago's one year anniversary. It is, as you can see for yourself, still here. Government repression has not quashed the Occupation, the Rebellion, the on going class struggle between the Oligarchy of the 1% and the decaying community of the 99%.

We are still here. However, there is a question that hangs over the Occupy Chicago Community that is begging to be answered.

What exactly does Occupy, the Rebellion, the Revolution -- call it whatever you wish -- have to offer an aging, non-union, working class, white, male?

That is a question which needs to be answered.
