“Well, assuming any of this is actually true, one would also assume that the police know about this as well and are taking appropriate counter measures.”
HUH? What counter measures did the Police take against these occupy thugs in the past year as they destroyed property and business in numerous cities across the nation? Oh that is right. Very little if any at all.

Well, in Colorado, having looked at what OWS had already done earlier in other cities and states, they were virtually completely shutdown here. A brief camp-out at the Capitol before being ejected was about it. They were not allowed to even get started at a number of other locations, including the City of Boulder, where the Boulder County Commission indicated they would vigorously enforce anti-camping restrictions on all County property, including the downtown courthouse lawns.
Given the national exposure of the RNC convention in Tampa, and having had the opportunity to study what worked in places like NYC and other cities once they decided to shutdown and contain OWS, I’ll be surprised if the OWS-types have much success in Tampa this week.
