were made today as Occupy Eugene protesters shut down branches of Umpqua Bank (aka "Stumpqua" because it funds clearcutting), Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Chase, for at least a couple of hours apiece and Umpqua for the day. Everyone was sprung and they and the non-arrested alike flooded the coffee shop across the street from the prison.
I'll post a bit more tomorrow, but I will say I'm concerned that the protesters seemed intent on a bit more confrontational interaction with police, while my philiosophy, as I've stated before, is to Bring Them In.
Because, see, no empire has ever survived when its armies and police turned.
Peace.
