Occupy LA Eviction is Occupy Movement's Last Stand -- Finally

a business no longer needs a brick and mortar store front to survive and flourish these days. i helped create one, so i know. a movement doesn't need a piece of ground to survive these days: all it needs is twitter, facebook and maybe a web site.

their vision of democracy may be different from yours but in many ways it is more valid. the voices of a population seldom speak in orderly, sound bit ways. but the message get money out of elections, get lobbyists out of congress, get jobs for the people who want to work and pay their bills, these things came through if you had an ear to listen. democracy is messy, it seldom shines its shoes.

the most vibrant part of democracy is the conflict of voices crying for justice unlike the stilted rhetoric that is offered to denigrate them.

The police are also part of the 99%....They have family that have lost their homes, jobs have poor health care and education debt.

Where is the next protest. i say we protest all the bad hippitiy hop music,

Villaraigosa=no balls, Beck sucking his balls, Obumbo could care less = The 3 stooges.

What an incredibly stupid article!

this reporter doesnt have a clue, nothing but illformed propaganda if he thinks making occupy change tactics IE occupying parks means the movement will stop hes on the wrong side of history : hope he enjoyed getting maced and robbeded while shopping.

Note the commentators name is Poupard, sort of like the Poop/Capitalist Crap he writes! Or was it composed by a bad computer. Just who is the editor in chief of Yahoo News??

Bravo Villaraigosa for defying the Obama/Bankers & Homeland Terrorist idict to to disband the Occupy LA Heroes!!!

Wow! That's really lame.
I do not participate in Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. And maybe the author of this article can afford to shell out a small fortune on Christmas gifts, but many of us cannot do more than a gift or two and some lovely holiday traditions. And we are happy with that, because consumerism is NOT alive and well.

That's right, it's CONSUMERISM that is ringing its death rattle. People are waking up to the reality that the crap you buy during the holiday season (or any other time) doesn't make for happiness. Economic stability is not the ability to buy a bigger substitute for your little... self-esteem.

I have great faith that the American people can and will continue to find that Eureka! of self-discovery, learning that love of friends and family, and satisfaction with one's own life work is the only happiness - and that cannot be bought at WalMart.

Failed miserably?? I don't think so. The awareness of a need for real, planned, organized protest has been created. Leaders will eventually rise and the Great Beast (as Alexander Hamilton once labeled the American public) will be awaken. Change is inevitable, for without it, we shall become a third world country. We can only rely on military power for so long. Seeds have been planted, Poupard. And I am ashamed to admit that I was absent during the initial wave.

And I am sure you and whoever's paying you would love for this to be a joke a year from now. We'll see. Time will tell.

The occupy movement has already maded history, has opened the dialogue about income disparity and the income distribution increase in the upper 1% groth in the last 20 years.
Now some pinheasded idiot from Yahoo writes his opinon "that they are up against the wall, last stand ect".
Well we will see next summer when the two parties conventions are underway, the Euro has died and taken all the TBTF banks with them.
My question is "if peaceful protest is not tolerated, then who will be the next Tim McVeigh"?
McVeigh's actions were a response too the ATF actions at Waco and Ruby Ridge, in a good economy, and a highly sucessful war, now with a bad economy, and 500,000 vets comming home to no jobs and lost oppurtunities, some will step to the plate!

In all honesty, Occupy is not finished and it has not failed. As long as "free" enterprise is still picking pockets, the resistance will go on.

I support the movement. I agree with some things and disagree with other things. I just seriously think that they could've attacked certain issues better and not have left their mission so broad that nobody even knows what they want. If anything they at least brought the corporate greed and lobbying to light.

Complete #$%$ propaganda article once again put out by the big power brokers through a schill editorial writer to try an destroy the Occupy movement. This writer should be tried for treason for intentionally trying to subvert the democratic process through false propaganda. Occupy is NOT dead by a long shot folks! Go Occupy!

Dang, yahoo hires anyone to write their #$%$ for them. Why do do people who can't write even try? They make the people they work for look like idiots as well as embarrass themselves.

OCCUPY YAHOO!!!

A few years back,they called these people "bums" and "hobos".....

You fail to understand that encampments are not important to the movement, reinvigorating this country is !!! Occupy Wall Street is a movement not an address.

Occupy LA is a waste. Drove down there and all everybody does is complain, smoke dope, and crap on the grass........even my dog is more productive than those Yahoos who are themselves the 1% of wackos living in the area.

WELL i SEE YAHOO IS BACK TO REMOVING POSTS AGAIN!
