Aaron Mesh Talks Occupy Portland on OPB

WW reporter Aaron Mesh appeared on OPB's Think Out Loud program this morning. He was ostensibly there to talk about the Northwest Filmmakers Festival (you can read our full coverage on that here), but much of the discussion was about what's been happening at the Occupy camp since the city gave Occupiers their marching orders Thursday morning. ---

In the interview, Mesh—who spent 48 living in the camp and has been covering the occupation since—discusses whether Mayor Sam Adams and City Hall made the right decision in inflaming a movement that may have fizzled out on its own, and how he thinks Sunday morning will play out.

Check it out here. The Occupy discussion starts around 4:34.
