That’s because the “movement”, if that’s what it was, has degenerated into thuggery.

It should be renamed “Let’s riot and F with the police”

All that’s left is ragtag anarchist street criminals. And their commie National Lawyers Guild lawyers of course. But I repeat myself.

I believe that what I wrote is clear and have nothing to add. Best, Amy L

What I identify with is immaterial. I’ve been involved in covering Occupy, by necessity, for months; it was clear that many people here in the uber-liberal Bay Area supported the movement and its ideals for some time, and it’s equally clear that support is decreasing now as people become confused about what it stands for. That was part of the discussion on Friday’s show, and I blogged to follow up on that.

Yes, I wish my newspaper had more staff, pay and resources; I think everyone should wish so. More of that means more and better coverage of our communities. A lot of great journalists from my companies and others have lost their jobs in recent years, and I think our coverage suffers for it. But I love my work and am glad to still be doing it after 20 years – I’m a lucky guy.

Not sure how you got from my statements to North Korea, Cuba or (I presume you’re talking about) parts of the Middle East and South Asia. Is this some sort of “love-it-or-leave-it” logic? And if so, is it directed at me and my industry, or Occupy and the U.S., or both?

Re #9 Elwood: DC sucks. I’m a Marvel guy through and through.

The Justice League is a team of comic book superheroes in the DC Comics Universe. Over the years they have featured a large number of characters in a variety of combinations.

The JLA members are listed here in order of their first joining the team. None are listed twice. No retconned members are listed (except where they historically took part in the stories). No associates and unofficial members, or members of the Super Friends (except when they are also Justice League members in the mainstream comics) are listed.

Non-full members and staff are also listed below.

Characters in bold are current Justice League active members.

Your concern for those you’ve “offended” is puzzling. Why are you so eager to explain yourself to representatives of “the movement”? The statement that you “enjoy and learn from” the tired cliches recycled here by OccupyDavis, marg1nal and Dylan20, is kinda scary. Apparently you identify with the notion of eliminating “economic injustice”, whatever that means. You whine about wanting more: more staff, more pay, more resources. Guess what? You’re not serving a life sentence at the “enormous media corporation”. Nor are you starving in the gulag that is North Korea. Or languishing in a Cuban dungeon because you had a lending library in your home. Or sentenced to death by stoning on charges of “adultery” brought by religious police. Okay, I get that your beat is Bay Area politics, but you’re the one invoking ideas (economic injustice, property rights, “lasting” social movements). You can because, and only because, you’re free to do so. You also are free to use your own time, energy and resources to fight “injustice”. PS drinking beer with Occupy Davis doesn’t count.

Move to Syria.

The website says, “It is not a march intended for people who are not fully comfortable with diversity of tactics.”
