literaryphotography asked: What do you think about the occupy movement? Would you say it is a movement without a goal?

I think that people have done some useful things with it, but in Portland, it is a shit show and I can’t wait for it to die. Occupy Portland as a whole has always had really classist, racist, sexist and homophobic assholes that make up 99% (ha) of their numbers. I have been attacked once and nearly attacked more times than I can count by these people. They are cop lovers and aren’t my comrades.

This will be my only post about Occupy because it has burgled my time enough as it is.
