Occupy Wall Street

the reason given for the police actions was that the protesters camp had become unsanitary and unsafe. i like the logic that says hitting people with sticks is for their safety.

i'm surprised that it's been allowed to go on so long with out much harsher police action.

I was wondering how long it would take for police violence to break out in US.
As someone that's been there done that @ May 2011(Greeceâ„¢), let me spoil it for you.

They managed to break us that way back then.

Not working now though, someone has died to parakratikous*.
Anyways, best of luck.
Hope you will be heard and that shit won't get too real.

Loosely based on events in Greece in the 1960s, Z is meant to take place in Anynation, during any time period. In 1963, popular leftist deputy Gregoris Lambrakis was assassinated in Athens, and an investigation by Christos Sartzetakis found connections between the assassins, the police, and fascist extremist elements in Greece. The far-right government of Greece consolidated power by military dictatorship in 1967 and Sartzetakis was imprisoned. The junta remained in power until 1974 with the help of military and economic support from the United States. Throughout, Lambrakis’s memory remained fresh in the minds of the citizens, and the symbol †˜Z’ became a rallying cry, meaning †˜He (Lambrakis) is alive’. Sartzetakis became an icon of integrity, but it is important to remember that while he was imprisoned and Lambrakis murdered, they were both known as communist villains under the junta while the murderers were †˜rehabilitated’ as heroes of the nation. It only takes a bit of repetition and on-message bloviating to rend even the largest personality asunder, changing their legacy with the help of demagogues. Z is about not only the intrigue surrounding the aftermath of a political assassination, but the attempt to bury a legacy and the extraordinary sacrifice required to simply maintain the truth.
