Last Wednesday, I had to go down to city hall in Oakland, CA, right where the protests were. They did a good job of re-sodding the grass. The OWS group is down to about 5-10 guys at 3 tables with about 5--6 cops keeping an eye on them. It's back to where you can have a nice lunch outside if you work on the plaza. One good thing came of it. The mayor will not get re-elected.
