But this is a sign somewhere else. Maybe their message is spreading.
Or maybe not.
Last night's 5pm news featured some reporters going to Occupy Toronto at 4am the previous night. They brought an infrared camera with them.
Using the heat seeking camera, they found that ~80% of the tents were actually empty. The reporter surmised that at night protesters were instead "occupying their parent's basements."
It was interesting the confrontations that ensued when they were approached by roving "marshals" with their dogs.
When informed by the marshals that they need to leave, the reporter asked "Are you evicting me from the park?"
"Uhhh...." was the marshal's reply.
Several more exchanges occurred when a reporter tried to enter an empty tent. The marshals said "You can't go in there, that's private." The reporter said, "First of all, this is an empty tent on public property. Like a hat on the sidewalk. And secondly, I thought you guys didn't believe in private property."
"Uhhh..."
It got nasty after that.
So I guess freedom is actually in the eye of the beholder.
Or as the saying goes;
"Trespassers Will Be Shot
Survivors Will Be Shot Again"
