Occupy occtrocities: Prison edition

Alcatraz prison cell
After a couple of slow news days, we're back to our usual numbers of occtrocities. The rudderless movement continues its descent into irrelevancy by holding Occupy Prisons protests on Presidents' Day. Hey, I thought it was about greed. Soon a Denver arsonist will be occupying a prison cell, by the way.

As for the "Jim Crow" prison system being criticized in New York City, most of the victims of African American criminals are black.

Occupy Las Vegas, which I reported on when I visited their Obamaville in December, is pulling down its Palestinian flag. They are shutting down their camp.

And while Berkeley, California police were keeping an eye on Occupy Oakland protesters Saturday night, a man was beaten to death.
