This “cost” to cities is a drop in the bucket compared to the BILLIONS robbed from Middle Class by our banking and finance institutions not to mention the BILLIONS withheld by Corporate Tax Loopholes and Corporate Welfare. I’m certain this figure includes the ineffective and abusive pepper spray and riot gear which are undoubtedly sold to our local police with obscene profit margins by companies also guilty of war profiteering. RAISE your voice in defense of the movement with my free Occupy artist posters at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/11/propaganda-for-occupy-movement.html and help fight smear campaigns like this story when they’re taken out of context.
Nice work, Brandt. And excellent comment as well.
"The marathon is the second group that felt victimized by the Occupy Portland movement"
Poor "victimized" bunnies! Did they have a marathon ... yes! Was it successful ... they can afford to give the parks $4000!
Blaming Occupy for crimes committed by a few, is like blaming Portland for crimes committed by a citizen. As was noted at the time, the Occupy people worked very hard to feed, care and protect all their residents.
The implications of city propaganda--and articles like this--is that only the elite are capable of taking care of people. If that were true, we wouldn't have this grotesque mess from which we are all suffering.
