1. It seems PTB is moving to fighting 'em

[The Doctor.]

22. This is happening WAAAAAY sooner than I thought.

That's actually a good thing.


Their projections were for the middle or 3rd quarter of the next Republican President's first term. They didn't count on losing control of the model yet.

It's beautiful... can you see it?

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Yup

We are living in revolutionary times. Most revolutions in this country are mostly peaceful. I fear I need to keep reminding people of that. But that is the energy you are feeling.

2. Nice how they wait until the wee hours of the morning to make their sneaky move.

They probably think no one is watching or it is too dark for people to see what is going on.

3. 200 people -- i don't know if it's park or "sidewalk solidarity"

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. From a tactical POV it's the best time

So it should not be surprising. We are not night animals nor do we have night vission.

This is why it's done. It's not sneaky. And people need to learn this fast.

[nashville_brook]

7. there's lots of young folks who come out at night for camping,

i'm not sure what set this off. Orlando PD has been great. our attorney is on the scene now.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. San Diego pd went off too

They tend to be great. My conclussion, when even pds not known for this do it...it is concerted and orders are coming way above the patrolman's pay grade.

[nashville_brook]

16. the Tea Party has been putting massive pressure on the mayor

but, i have no idea what precipitated this.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. It becomes harder to identify offenders such as Anthony Bologna.

[nashville_brook]

17. protesters are now deciding who will stand and who will move

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. Traditionally, monsters attack at night.

[nashville_brook]

5. news choppers now

[nashville_brook]

6. passing this on Please call Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer 407-246-2221 / PD 321-235-5300

Please call Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer 407-246-2221 / PD 321-235-5300 Respectfully Demand 1st Amendment Rights

[nashville_brook]

8. saying something about noise ordinance -- no residential anywhere near park

[nashville_brook]

9. cheering now - don't know why

[nashville_brook]

12. here's the Police Line: 407-246-2470 -- mayor's voice mail is full

[nashville_brook]

13. police blocking off streets now

[nashville_brook]

15. livestream going strong

[nashville_brook]

18. the scene is really tense but everyone is in high spirits

police are discussing action -- they're not moving in yet.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Cops might decide too high of risk

As o tea ager pressure that's part of puzzle. Them tea baggers want this to fail...I mean none is talking of deficits no more.

[NOLALady]

20. Arresting them now.

9 so far.

[The Wielding Truth]

21. Last count 22 detained in hand restraints taken away. These protesters are amazing.

[nashville_brook]

24. i just got back from the site -- 22 is right. tresspass.

[nashville_brook]

25. 19 cruisers and vans - protesters yelled their names as they were taken away...will have that soon

[nashville_brook]

26. police still onsite -- question as to whether folks on the private property risk arrest

[Fire Walk With Me]

27. Kick.

[The Wielding Truth]

28. Any police around tonight?

29. K & R
