i was down at occupy wall st. for a long time... i went down to occupy miami and it was rather depressing. i walked around the park and asked about 5 people and their answers were along the lines of "we're just gonna stay here till the government changes maaan"

it was really sad. zuccotti park was so active and productive and seeing this showed me why the occupiers have such a shitty reputation. i finally encountered two people who could inform me of the daily routine, marches, etc. and they told me it was an uninformed, unproductive group- though i had already realized that- and they march sometimes, but don't do much.

all in all it was a real disappointment.

I heard alot of the South FL occupyers don't have a clue about anything. As far as Miami it seemed like alot of homeless people. But whatever at least they get news coverage and stand in solidarity with NYC.

What the hell's wrong with homeless people occupying?

Do you need 5 cars to be worthy of protesting income disparity and financial rigging of the system?

Occupy Miami Apartment Building Raided By Police

Police officers in SWAT-style gear descended Tuesday on an Overtown apartment building where dozens of Occupy Miami members moved after the group's Downtown encampment "Peace City" was evicted.

Occupiers say police arrived suddenly before a protest march, pouring from vans to order residents of 540 NW Seventh Street into the building's courtyard before searching both people and apartments. Three Occupy members were reportedly handcuffed before being released; three others were taken to police headquarters for questioning. No one was arrested.

"They said that they had gotten a tip that we had 'long guns' and were going to use them at our protest," Occupy member Thomas Parisi told Miami New Times . "But we are a peaceful movement and told them that we had no intention of doing anything like that."

A photo taken by one member who was detained suggested he was taken to MPD's Special Investigations Unit, which houses the Narcotics Unit, the Intelligence and Terrorism Unit, and the Joint Interdiction Unit. Police have not yet responded to a request for comment.

"They had military assault rifles and tactical shotguns. Fully lethal," reported Occupy on their Facebook site , before posting video showing residents of the "Fort Peace" building sitting or kneeling in the property's courtyard while police with assault rifles kept order.

Dozens of Occupy members moved into the building after its owner, an Occupier who changed his name to Sr. Paz (Mr. Peace), donated some of the vacant apartments to Occupiers rent-free . But recent postings suggest a rift between those living at the apartment building and other Occupy Miami members, and the last Twitter update from a main Occupy Miami account says it has been "hijacked by a small, non-consensus group of radical members. "

Another member posted on Twitter that the Facebook page, too, was "unilaterally taken over by a rogue element in the group following an attack by police in riot gear."

For the group at "Fort Peace," the trouble is not only internal.

"They were asking me questions like, 'Are you a Muslim?' and 'Do you love this country?'" protestor Ramy Mahmoud told New Times . "I said hell no I don't love this country and it's because of shit like this...They are calling us terrorists but what I saw today was demons pointing guns at us. They terrified us."
