The Occupy Seattle economic justice vigil is facing a mass arrest scene today in Westlake Park downtown (10/4/2011), while several Occupy actions are getting started in Oregon. Occupy Seattle has been going on for 5 days. The arrest of people refusing to vacate tents in Westlake plaza is breaking news for Wednesday evening, so I'm going to link to the first good videos coming out on youtube. There should be better information later. At least 24 people have been arrested. Many participants have vowed to return to the park later in the week
This is a pretty good film clip in the middle of the arrest situation. Plenty of downtown workers and onlookers are able to join the scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC_PXCnfSbI Here's a better edited activist film from this morning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv73pxtg5yQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wDxclWeMnc&feature=related Newspaper/TV station footage with decent camerawork: http://www.komonews.com/news/local/131159153.html http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2016411868_westlake06m.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the organizing website for Occupy Portland http://occupyportland.org Expect updates tomorrow at http://portland.indymedia.org |
