Occupy Youngstown group suffers another setback
http://www.vindy.com/news/2012/aug/02/occupy-group-suffers-another-setback/ (http://www.vindy.com/news/2012/aug/02/occupy-group-suffers-another-setback/)
I have to wonder what this reporters idea of a strong presence is....
Most days Occupy was on the square they had 3 to 6 people and rarely did you see more than 10 or 12......
oy did have strong presence on the sq until their tent was taken away.
You think? They could only get 12 people there the night they thought the tent would be taken. On veterans day there were no more than 5 of them there.....Same thing the day we had the laying of the Roses....5 Occupiers. I know that as fact. I even have a pic of them. They did not have what I would call a strong presence after the first day. And I doubt they had more than 75 people then...
QUESTION:
All the fees for court action doesn't come cheap even if Occupy Youngstown has a lawyer who is working on the cheap, so who is financing Occupy Youingstown by paying all the court fees?
What is the point of OY? Is there a message they are trying to get across?
This photo was taken today on the southwest corner of Central Square, the same corner Occupy Youngstown was forced to vacate. The tent is much larger.
I quess it's a case of who you are or who you know.
1. Who put the tent there?
2. What was the purpose of the tent?
3. Are you objecting to anyone putting a tent there regardless of the purpose?
4. Will you object to any and all tents there until OY is allowed to come back, including festivals, and Party on the Plaza.
5. Italian Fest is coming ... do you object to them setting up tents there?

This tent IS part of the Italian Festival.
FYI
Every corner of Central Square has now been taken over by the Italian Occupation.
I sincerely hope that you are not serious Jay because your last post has a tinge of bigotry about it.
Maby to please the pro-Occupy Youngstown crowd the city should ban any and all festivals: parties; parades etc including Christmas and New Years. Send them all to Boardman.
The Italian Festival is something that people come to have a good time at. Who really can say that any of the Occupy protests are places where you can have an enjoyable experience? Also, this tent is not for living in, OY wants to use their tent as living quarters. Third, this tent will be gone by the end of the festival on Sunday. OY wants to have an open ended arrangement and keep their tent in the square I guess forever. Now if OY would apply for a permit, give a definite start and end date and does not use their tent as living quarters I am sure the City would be forced to oblige. But we all know that the Occupy movement is not about following the rules, it is about mob rule.

why not send them to the subs. ytown leaders chased the st pat parade to boardman ts in which the ts welcome the irish with open arms. the city inspectors at the last minute shook down the slavic committee for permits that were not necessary. if i were the city mayor i would want to know why the city inspectors shook down this festval committee the day before their event. the mayor should find out who was not doing their job.
rr are you saying that you have no problem with oy tent for informational purpose 24/7 aslong as someone was there to man the tent?
Jay posts a tongue-in-cheek photo and comment and people get their undies in an uproar.....
please......why do we have to take everything so serious 24/7?
For the same reason we take your posts serious my friend.
touche.....
hey...here's another funny........
Stephen Colbert tweets: I hope they find water on Mars. That means we'll be able to frack there.
What funny, the History Channel and H2 have discussed that very thing in NASA's future. They say that there are oceans and rivers underground on Mars and by drilling down to them we can frack for both minerals and oil using robots, and send space ships there once in a while to bring back the materials. Since robots neither eat or need air, they can work 24/7/365 or whatever a Mars year is.
the majority of bloggers on this site do have a funny bone.
When you get older that dirt the old bones, specially the funny bone becomes artheretic and fragile an ain't funny no more. :'( :( :'(
i say then laugh until ole arthurits comes knocking at those ole bones.
:'( Too late, the old knees are shot :'( One joy in life that does make me a happy camper is that I found two fantasticly wonderful cheeses that give meaning to life :laugh: Cabot Chedder Cheese with Horseradish and Cabot Chedder Cheese With Habanero Peppers. Giant Eagle handles this brand and they are fantastic. :-*
tt add glass of your favorite wine and healthy snacks there is your heaven on earth.
A bottle of B&G Beaujolais wouldn't go amiss. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* OOOOH It's Soooooo Good!
Can anyone answer this question? The last time I asked a serious question about OY no one answered it, so I doubt that anyone will answer this one, but hopefully someone with the courage of their convictions will at least make a try at a truthful answer.
QUESTION:
Just how much longer will OY carry this farce before they call it quits and get on with their life?
The Question that no one wants to answer:
All the fees for court action doesn't come cheap even if Occupy Youngstown has a lawyer who is working on the cheap, so who is financing Occupy Youingstown by paying all the court fees?
Your question implies these people have lives to get on with.
I'm still trying to figure out what they are protesting against.
Point well taken!
This retired lawyer is an old school hippie activist that tried to turn the Campbell Works into a collective worker owned mill back when it closed but failed, and other than that little was heard of him until he got involved in OY, so hopefully he'll do a repeat performance, but isn't it curious that none of the pro OY crowd wants to answer the question ... where is the money coming from to pay all the court costs? Could it be that old S. L. hopes that down the road some weepy judge will rule in his favor and order the city to pay all court costs?
Maybe some of the pro OY crowd really don't know the answer.....Towntallk, with your history of providing info to Dan Ryan and such,
maybe you should investigate?
Unfortunately the contacts that I had built up are either dead or no longer in the loop. I stopped doing show prep in 2009 and reformatted my web site to what it is today due to changes at Tripod. Under the old format, I was able to headline relivant articles but under the new format I just have to settle for hundreds of media links absent the headlines.
My sources tell me that individual donations are being used for the cause.
Thanks for the information Dennis.
