The dome and larger tents were spared the dozers, unlike alot of peoples personal belongings.

Thank you Aerianne. Did you go? I wasn't able to and, of course it seems the local TV stations quit reporting the story.

Hey Renogirl,I have not been down there since the beginning of December but drive by the square every night at about 3am. I was going down there to protest regularly but life kind of caught up with a ton of responsibilities and I no longer have time to protest although I was giving cash when I could. But I am not sure what happened to them after the raid.

Yellowcab life has a way of doing that. If I hear anything about what's going on, I'll pass along the deets.

Hey everyone who looks at this, can you please help Occupy Buffalo website is being besieged by a novice spammer who checks the site 3 times a day. The site is slow as he has harassed everyone who tries and post. If someone starts a thread he post on it and keeps doing so until they stop so it looks like he is the only one on the site. If anyone is willing to have some fun with this guy I think if enough people start posting things it will drive him crazy and fill his day trying to block post it may prove to be to much for him. So please if you have a little free time and need to vent or something the occupiers in Buffalo thank you for helping to save their site.

Is that the guy calling himself "The one percent"?

Yes that him, cant miss him, thats why I am trying to get alot of people posting and starting threads. This will drive him crazy because he is crediting himself for shutting down the forum but if the site begins to pick up he will not be able to keep up.

I looked. He says that he won't be posting there anymore because they've started moderating his posts. It's not like a troll here and there is any threat to the movement. There will always be opposition.
