OWS Protesters: Regroup

Although the Occupy Wall Street protesters have been sent packing, they claim the movement isn't finished. They plan to regroup.

Yeah, you do that.

From AFP:

Anti-Wall Street protesters vowed to regroup and carry on their campaign after police cleared Occupy camps in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, detaining nearly 350 people.

The latest evictions followed action in recent weeks against anti-Wall Street encampments in cities across the United States including Dallas, New Orleans, Oakland, Portland, and New York, the cradle of a now-global movement.

But the demonstrators were unbowed, unveiling a plan to shut down major ports along the US West Coast and Canada's Pacific seaboard in a day of action on December 12.

"We're shutting down these ports because of the union busting and attacks on the working class by the 1 percent," said Barucha Peller of the West Coast Port Blockade Assembly, of Occupy Oakland, in a statement.

"We are also striking back against the nationally coordinated attack on the Occupy movement. In response to the police violence and camp evictions against the Occupy movement, this is our coordinated response against the 1 percent."

Good grief.

I wish these whiners would retreat to a commune, be self-sufficient, drop out and shut up.
