Occupy occtrocities: Fight edition

Occupy Boise will likely be evicted this week, but not soon enough to prevent a fight from breaking out at its camp.

I have a follow-up on the Denver "Fuck the Police" rally, which the hacking group Anonymous and some Occupy members participated. Occupy Denver said this was not a sanctioned OWS event, but it admitted that some of its members planned to participate in it.

How did it turn out? Five demonstrators were arrested, some vehicles were spray-painted, and urine-filled balloons were thrown at police.

Yep, just like the Tea Party. Not.
