What to Bring the Occupiers
Last night, by order of our mayor, the police swept into Westlake park in Downtown Seattle where the “Occupy Seattle” protest is going strong in support of the Occupy Wall Street in NYC. Thirty people were arrested in a move to enforce our no camping laws.
I thought yesterday I would visit these guys today, and maybe help out by bringing them some needed supplies. Wasn’t sure what might be a good choice though…
30 Sausage McMuffin with Egg sandwiches?… umm, no, too corporate.
A couple cases of bottled water?… nope. Bottled water is so bad for the environment.
A couple boxes of Starbuck’s coffee? Nah, see corporate thing above.
A big platter of homemade tofu and organic tomato tortilla wraps?… I don’t have time.
Aww, man, this politically-correct generosity stuff is HARD!
Then I checked their website this morning and read about the arrests and the clearing of the tents. Occupy Seattle is still going strong! They stayed in the park last night without tents… and it poured rain all night last night.
I’m on my way to the local green, mom-and-pop, socially responsible dollar store this morning to pick up a couple bags of these…
See you tonight with the video.
I’m sure they will appreciate those. I saw some of the videos from Seattle last night.
Dry clean socks is brilliant. It is also a protest about Sock Puppets pretending to represent us
For food, bring Trail Mix. Good protein, doesn’t need cooking, or refrigeration. Just keep dry. Fresh fruit is good, too :love:
You are the best Joko. Look forward to your update.
That socks idea is brilliant, Joko. Dry feet can win battles.
If they can’t use tents, I wonder if they can use visquine or umbrellas. It might not be a bad idea for folks to take up collections of spare umbrellas from local restaurants. We always had six to ten extra umbrellas on hand that were left behind by customers. Maybe they could circumvent the camping ordinance if they set up a network of interlocked umbrellas.
Those socks match with this… take it, just in case.

Hmmm…. I am rather surprised that my Witty response was removed.
Interesting.
Did anyone see it.
It was about George Soros buying the socks.
Maybe my parody was too close to comfort?
