We marched through GSU onto Courtland street. The sidewalks were jam-packed with people. Before the police officers warned the crowd to disperse from the street I had already gotten onto the side walk. One of the police Lieutenants yelled to his officers, "Get him" and pointed at me. The police had to worm their way through the crowd in order to grab me and drag me into the street. <a href="http://titleexpertsatlanta.com/" rel="nofollow">georgia auto pawn</a><br />jenigirlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026212408272926109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326030520637587403.post-39680761405702642352012-02-04T18:50:52.351-05:002012-02-04T18:50:52.351-05:00My name is Cynthia McCabe, and I am the mother of ...My name is Cynthia McCabe, and I am the mother of Tim Franzen. I am very proud of my son and the many others who put themselves out there for the Occupy movement. I am also fearful for my son Tim's life and freedom at times. I ask all OA supporters and others to please surround and protect him, and others you see about to be "target arrests" by the police. If the crowd surrounds Tim, or another person who police are targeting, please envelop and create a barrier. This is my son and I love him. But even if Tim were not my son, it's still wrong to allow these heavy handed police to target certain people in order to break up a movement that is for the people, a movement that is sorely needed and must continue.

The police also targeted MLK in his day. In the future, they will probably target others in OA. The old structure is not working for people and people are waking up to the fact that the game is rigged against them and fixed for the Big Shots a/k/a the 1% at the top. After the big "Robber Barons" transfer of wealth in 2008, people are really hurting with no jobs and foreclosed homes. Occupy is only pointing out the obvious but I guess the Big Shots at the top wants people to suffer in silence. <br /> <br />The corporations are running the show and the Big Shots are listening to and taking orders from them. It's the United Corporations of America who are now the people thanks to the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United. We now have socialized capitalism that's when "too big to fail" does fail and the taxpayers bail them out, crony capitalism which is fixed and rewards the super rich, and vulture capitalism that's when the Big Shots take all the money and leave the company and stockholder with nothing and the employees unemployed. <br /> <br />The corporations and the Big Shots are not going to give up their power and control without a fight. But what they don't understand is that we know that fraud was committed against the people in 08, we know we were robbed in 08, we know the Big Shots are the criminals. We have lost respect and fear of the Big Shots that runs the banks, corporations and Wall Street firms that controls the government. Go ahead Big Shots and put Tim in jail and Occupy will grow bigger and stronger. Put all of us in jail and you still will not stop the people who are standing up because when we stand up - you can no longer stand on us. <br /> <br />Tim we love you and we will continue to stand with all the people in Occupy and we will not go away. Oppressors of the people who masquerade as authority and do the bidding of the Big Shot Criminals at the top, your day is coming to an end.Artemishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10220112457843431989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326030520637587403.post-56674097187654361292012-01-29T11:19:04.150-05:002012-01-29T11:19:04.150-05:00Tim,

I cannot tell you how and why this bothers and inspires me at the same time without going in to a civil rights history lesson, but know that I am and I'm sure so many are familiar with this testimonial.<br /><br />I am so proud of you and for your sharing of the truth.
