Oct 31, 2011 Opinion
Today at the Occupy Denver rally, the Police decided to send out riot police to ‘crack down’ on the protesters and clear the square.
I filmed and photographed the people in attendance, people of all ages and walks of life – all there to peacefully protest and march. In fact as you can see in this video, the speakers spoke out forcefully about remaining non-violent. At the end of the video is a group of kids I included that were there to protest but also to have fun – expressing their freedom of speech and assembly -part of being a free American citizen.

OWS toughing out the coldest temperatures yet in NYC – as thermal images from Zuccotti Park show tents are ‘occupied’
Oct 31, 2011 Opinion
As a massive snowstorm dumps the white stuff on New York City, footage from thermal imaging cameras taken late at night are showing the resolve of Wall Street protesters.
In images that look like they came directly out of the Arnold Schwarzenegger film Predator, some protesters can be seen standing around Zuccotti Park while others are huddled inside tents.
Temperatures, which plunged below 40 degrees last night, weren’t raining on the parade of Occupy Wall Street protesters, who remained in their tents overnight.
The same could not be said for their counterparts in a much warmer London, as the same thermal imaging showed protesters were deserting their tents near St Paul’s cathedral as the sun went down.
In the New York shots, taken late on Friday night, the presence of body heat from humans is represented by yellow and red inside the tents.
