Isue 92 Updates on Occupy & what’s going on at Rikers Island?

 

(10/30/2011)
This week I run down some of the arrest reports from Occupy protests around the country and an update on Scott Olsen from Oakland, CA.  Also, my take on how the increasingly heavy-handed tactics used by various city governments will probably backfire on them.
Plus, we have a phone interview with a man in Zuccotti Park.  We talk about the sudden cold snap and snow and how it’s affecting OWS, and we try to figure out why just-released inmates of Rikers Island are now heading toward Zuccotti.
This week’s Good Guy: The Special Operations Warrior Foundation

And special thanks to Ryan Hoffman for his assistance with the interview.
