#OccupyBestBuy

20081127 bnd-city-denial =v= Last night's midnight openings at big box stores have attracted encampments of people with tents who say they represent the 99%. What are their demands? For some reason the authorities haven't sent in riot police as they have elsewhere, so these groups have taken to self-policing, pepper spray included.

(Title notwithstanding, this happened at a Wal*Mart, but I thought I'd spread the love around. 'Tis the season!)
