Occupy Augusta

I was at Occupy Augusta with Nate and other Michael today when the protesters held a general assembly meeting.

It will not include the right to have more than one tent and overnight camping will not be allowed.

More updates to come as things develop.

It’s about what I expect for a small city – the larger protests are going on in Portland where a bomb was recently set off by someone rather unsympathetic to the movement.

Anyway, here are a few pictures:
