i went to occupy wall street last night, Sat, OCt 1st... got there about 9 PM at night...i live approx 1-1/2 hours from NYC
it was very windy and had been raining most of the day... there were roughly 200 people assembled in liberty plaza ... what was absolutely astounding was the police presence... they at least were equal in number to the number of protesters and it gave the whole atmosphere a feeling of being in an prisoner of war encampment instead of a peaceable democratic implementation of the right to freedom of assembly
such was the presence that it could be argued it was infringing on the right to assemble by using the threat of arrest to keep more people from participating...
