Todd Gitlin, Columbia University professor of journalism and author of Occupy Nation: The Roots, The Spirit and the Promise of Occupy Wall Street, said on the Fox News Channel that the Occupy Wall Street movement was "out of hibernation" in its May Day protests. He said these were "fun-loving" and "playful people."
I suppose he was talking about the black-clad protesters in Seattle, Washington, who smashed windows and ran through traffic. Or maybe he was referring to the crowd in Oakland, California, where police had to resort to tear gas and flash-bang grenades to disperse them as they converged on officers attempting an arrest. Possibly he could mean the protesters who tried to force businesses to shut down for not observing calls for a "general strike."
Gives a whole new meaning to fun-loving, doesn't it?
