More Protests At Durham Area Mall

Another round of protests at Streets at Southpoint in Durham this past Tuesday according to WNCN:

On December 10th and 13th, more protesters were arrested for their “die in” activities in Durham. Most of the charges were resisting arrest, failure to disperse and “impede traffic – sit/stand/lie”. While protesting, the familiar Occupy chant, “whose streets? our streets!” was employed.

‘Mostly Peaceful’ Protesters Leave Molotov Cocktail Behind
