It’s Monday again. Time to Occupy.
Today’s performance: Environmental and Health Justice
Well, they marched. This time the prop was a collection of letters they shoved into the doors of the legislature.
Well, 30 of the occupiers headed inside the legislature to protest according to the official Occupy Monday news outlet, WRAL.
The Occupy Monday News said that 13 stayed inside and when the building closed were told to leave. For some reason WRAL doesn’t say they were arrested for trespassing when they refused to leave, instead they use the language “cited” for trespassing:
“The 13 protesters who remained after a State Capitol Police officer advised the group at 5:07 p.m. that the building was closed and were asked to leave were taken into custody, cited for trespassing and released about two hours later.” – WRAL
ABC11 clarifies what WRAL won’t:
Eleven protesters were camped out at the governor’s office less than a week after pulling a similar move at the office of State House Speaker Thom Tillis. Just after 6:45 p.m., some of those protesters were seen being taken out in handcuffs. ABC11’s Angelica Alvarez says the protesters taken out so far were not arrested, but were handed citations for second-degree trespassing. – ABC 11
Let’s head to Twitter….
And of course, environment so Greenpeace is there …
Were proud to stand with the @ncnaacp at #moralmonday focusing on doing justice for health and environmental issues.

Crowd looking pretty sparse this time.
And now we move on to the state Capitol to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters inside. #MoralMonday pic.twitter.com/bBtD7SXVpm — NC NAACP (@ncnaacp) June 2, 2014
No biggest crowd ever claim this time? 100’s? Maybe 100, singular.

Is no one insulted by the use of the Bible for this liberal agenda circus? Shameful.

Apparently liberals think adding the word “justice” to any given issue somehow makes it even more urgent and important. #tcot #p2 — Stacey-SisterToldjah (@sistertoldjah) June 2, 2014
