This forum is for General Occupy Wall Street Knoxville Discussion.

The Rome protests became overwhelmingly violent. 70 people we injured,
cars were set ablaze, store fronts were destroyed. Please remember
this is a peaceful movement, we are not rioters and violence will only
undermine our message.

Thanks for creating this group Franklin!

No Sweat I've got some other stuff in the works. :-D

I am currently in the process of uploading some non-fiction e-books
for our online resources. I am hoping to spread the collection to as
many occupy pages resources as possible.

The only options for sign up are to edit the site, would you be interested in contributing?

[Manboy]

Edit? How? What about being able to place the whole group in the directory? I'll help if I can..not always savvy with the site pages but not bad.

[Franklin Stone]

We do need that information centrally located, I'll add you. Try not to mess it up too bad,

I Love it!  Man..check this out..don't know what to make of it..not pointing fingers but OWS pulling donations out of a neighborhood not for profit CU and putting it in a Comm Bank???  Here's a byte:  The LESPFCU isn’t just being abandoned by Goldman. Occupy Wall Street has since moved most of its nearly half a million dollars from the credit union to the closer Amalgamated Bank, a full service commercial bank

They need to get rid of the money or find ways of using it towards sustainable solutions for feed, housing, clothing and educating these people. And possibly medicating them solutions permitting.

[Manboy]

I would have to agree with you mostly but look..the money's ok..they need it for legal defense but if it's true, and not disinformation, that they moved that money out of a Poor Neighborhood Not For Profit Credit Union and moved it to a Commercial Bank..That's Not Cool!! Ya Know? Are you and a few others up latenights say after midnight? I want to start a coffee group on the Strip for us nightowls! ;)

Oakland is getting some problems with law enforcement..a few other towns too.

[Manboy]
