Unoccupied #occupylsx

It's sad to see that this has now become this. Sad, but inevitable, I suppose. Apart from their somewhat totalitarian decision to carry out the eviction in the dead of night, I understand the police were fairly well behaved this time. No riot shields and helmets across the steps of St Paul's; no kettling or police horse charges.

Occupy has gone from St Paul's, but continues in other towns and cities, and will doubtless reappear elsewhere. Some of the injustices that the camp was created to draw attention to have become more mainstream - tax-payer funded bankers' bonuses and widespread corporate tax-dodgery, to name but two. Occupy have not been the only organisation protesting about these issues, but the high-profile nature of their protest has certainly helped to get them noticed.
