Occupy Monday 6/2/14 Edition

Posted on June 2, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

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: Continue reading →

#DM7 Article: Far Left NC Dem Protests Return

Posted on June 1, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

This is a reposting of my weekly DaTechGuy column: Far Left NC Dem Protests Return

———————————————

By A.P. Dillon

When I began writing here at DaTechGuy, I opened with a series of articles that laid out the landscape of the Left in North Carolina called “A Primer on The Left In NC”. You can read parts two, three and four. One of the main characters in that series is Reverend William Barber of the NC NAACP. He began a series of protests called “Moral Monday”, which in 2013 led to nearly 900 arrests at the NC General Assembly.

The list of complaints by this ‘movement’ are what one might expect — demands for more big government, more spending, more Medicaid, opposing the very popular Voter ID law and a sustained assault on the Republican leadership in the state through a strategy calling for activists to “cripple, eviscerat, pressure and slam” them. Moral Monday desperately wants to emulate the protests in Wisconsin, but to date have yet to do much besides become the punchline to local jokes. Continue reading →

Occupy Monday Sit-In Arrestees Not Allowed Back

Posted on May 31, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The 14 people arrested at the first Occupy Monday at the NC General Assembly are not going to be allowed back into the legislature building until after July 11th. The press and the NC NAACP keep calling this group the “Tillis 15”, but only 14 were arrested. Is Barber is counting himself as the 15th or is he doing Common Core math?

According to documents held by Wake County Clerk of Superior Court, the 15 fast food workers and pastors who were arrested for nonviolent civil disobedience in Thom Tillis’s office earlier this week are not allowed back at the General Assembly until July 11th, after Moral Monday is over.
