On Friday, Nov. 25, 2011, Mayor Nutter of Philadelphia sent out a press release stating that the Occupiers have 48 hours to evacuate their encampment. This is not the first time.

As I was walking downtown the other day on Winter St. by the “superior court”, I couldn’t help but notice this. Had it been an emergency, the car would have been parked in front of the court’s front doors and probably had its lights on. This is just bad parking.
“Do as we say, not as we do.”

The Keene Sentinel is reporting that two Keene police officers were injured by a drunken assailant early this morning.
Officer Katie Corbett suffered a knee injury and Officer Kyle Macie suffered a hand injury in the altercation
How could this violence have been avoided? The Keene officers could have simply left the man alone, but they just had to aggress against him because of… an open container! If they’d ignored him, no injuries would have been sustained. The open container ordinance needs to be repealed.
