I went there with the dog and my cans. Police surrounded the place with their metal barricades making getting in very difficult
. people started using the barricades as tables. I was being offered meals several times as I walked through
and even a floating turkey.
were taken care too!
-Here’s the account from the OWS site
Today, Occupations across the U.S. have shown that the 99% Movement can do more than protest — we can also take care of one another. In D.C. and many other cities, Occupiers sat down for a “family meal.” In New York, Occupy The Hood dropped off hundreds of meals at shelters across Brooklyn. The OWS kitchen cooked warm meals for 4000 people and handed them out at Liberty Square. Following dinner, there was a spontaneous sit-in in solidarity with the many people who lost their place of rest when OWS was raided on November 15th.
And no plastic turkey as I feared – luckily for OWS he is a chicken

Heart warming. Also a pleasure to know it is a thorn in their (TPTB) side. Did not notice a lot of police.

This is what true patriotism looks like. What a counter image to the Wall Street nabobs sipping champaign as they looked down on the ows from their balcony. I wonder if the announced layoffs on the Street will see them joining the protest. This is perhaps mean on my part, but I found the champaign image very ugly.
