Occupy Wall Street News Update of the Day: The NYPD may be attempting to undermine the Occupy Wall Street movement by employing an extremely shady tactic: Encouraging “lawbreakers and lowlifes” to link up with protesters at Zuccotti Park.
According the the New York Daily News, a physical line has been drawn between the pretenders and the honest-to-goodness demonstrators, with the “real” 99 Percenters occupying the east side of the park, and the “stragglers” setting up camp on the park’s west side.
“The west-side anarchists are in 70s-punk costumes,” reports the Daily News’ Harry Siegel, “and to the extent that they have discernible politics, many of them would be more fairly described as nihilists.”
Siegel says that the freeloaders — who are mostly there to take advantage of the free food and supplies provided by legitimate activists — have been known to start fights and engage in open-air drug sales, to the detriment of the movement.
Two “drunks” Siegel spoke with claim they were “encouraged” by NYPD officers to “take [their illegal activities] to Zuccotti.” Members of the Community Affairs Working Group say they’ve heard similar accounts.
The New York Department of Correction has denied outright the rumor that it was sending newly released prisoners to Zuccotti Park, and an NYPD spokesman responded to the Daily News story by saying, simply, “it’s false.”
Meanwhile, Occupy Wall Street protesters were forced to weather their first significant storm over the weekend without any generators, as the dreaded “snowtober” pummelled the city with record-breaking flakes.
Any grumbling, though, was drowned out by the sounds of merriment and musical instruments giving the howling winds a run for their money:
Further Reading/Viewing: OWS organizers have officially filed the necessary paperwork to trademark “Occupy Wall Street”; protesters marched down Wall Street dressed as heroes and villains as part of an event dubbed the Occupy Halloween parade. Check out some snapshots from the festivities below:

I was talking with a Filipina friend of mine at the store a little while ago today. While we were talking a young Japanese guy came up to her, pushed himself between us and said, “How much for two hours?”
Naturally, she was both shocked and angered and let out a serious of…
The townspeople of Oakville, Washington, were in for a surprise on August 7, 1994. Instead of their usual downpour of rain, the inhabitants of the small town witnessed countless gelatinous blobs falling from the sky. Once the globs fell, almost everyone in Oakville started to develop severe, flu-like symptoms that lasted anywhere from 7 weeks to 3 months. Finally, after exposure to the goo caused his mother to fall ill, one resident sent a sample of the blobs for testing. What the technicians discovered was shocking – the globs contained human white blood cells. The substance was then brought to the State Department of Health of Washington for further analysis. With another startling reveal, they discovered that the gelatinous blobs had two types of bacteria, one of which is found in the human digestive system. However, no one could successfully identify the blob, and how they were connected to the mysterious sickness that plagued the town.
ALIENS!
AND NOT THE COOL BOW TIE WEARING KIND
what the fuck is this
what
what
Or they’re just salamander eggs. But you know, whatever.
haa.
Uhm, why didn’t this it main stream media? Or did I miss it?

I don’t understand why Amazon.com does not price match their own store…
Here is a conversation between me (acting as my brother) and a representative at Amazon.com. They refunded us (both my brother and I) for the first price drop as an exception and when I asked to have myself refunded a second time due to a second price drop, they gave me little hassle even though it was not their policy. My brother, on the other hand, had hard time with the representative which eventually we never received our refund. I know it’s only a few bucks, but that few bucks can go a long way… I don’t understand why a company can’t price match their own item even though it was already shipped. What’s to stop me from returning the item and purchasing the same one with the newer price? I mean I have an active prime account which makes me eligible for free return shipping. In a sense, Amazon is losing money to shipping costs as well as their own price drop…
Here is the conversation that ensued:
You are now connected to Harish from Amazon.com.
Me:I recently purchased this item and I saw a price drop again
Harish:Hello, my name is Harish. I’ll be happy to help you.
Me:Hello
Harish:Hello, *******.
How may I help you?
Me:I recently purchased this item and I would like to be credited the difference on it
Harish:##########################
Is this the order number?
Me:yes.
Harish:I’m sure it’s disappointing to see the lower price on the Earmuff you recently purchased. Our prices regularly change, and the price you paid when your order shipped on July 6 was the lowest price we were able to offer at the time.
Me:I spoke to someone before and they were able to credit me the difference.
Is it possible you can check my previous conversation?
Harish:Can you hold for few minutes while I check this for you?
Me:yes I can
Harish:Thanks for holding,*******.
We’ve already refunded the amount as a one time exception.
Me:I would really appreciate it if you could do this for me.
I know that if I were to take the item in to a store and I found a lower advertised price, they would refund me the difference. As a consumer, I would have expected the same.
Harish:unfortunately there is no option to refund the amount.
Me:Why is that?
Harish:We do consistently work toward maintaining competitive prices on everything we carry. Because the marketplace is constantly changing and we strive to offer the lowest price, you’ll see some fluctuations in our prices over time.
Me:I can also cite my brother’s order because he ordered the same thing and they were able to refund him.
both instances.
I can forward you his order number if you want.
#########################
Harish:Amazon doesn’t have a price match policy.
It was already done as a one time exception.
Me:then why did they do this for him
and not for me?
Harish:I’m not able to speak to the reasons you may have received a refund for a similar situation in the past. At this point, we don’t match prices or give refunds for price changes when the item has already been shipped.
I’m sorry I don’t have better news for you; this is our policy at this time. We won’t be able to comment on this issue further.
Me:Thank you for your time.

I hate it when somebody tells me “Go out and buy a real gun!”
*side note, I felt like putting this in a note for no random reason. I guess it’s because I wanted to make this more permanent than a status update.
I hate it when somebody tells me “Go out and buy a real gun!” when we talk about Airsoft. First off they are made for two completely different purposes, and secondly I already own some. Of course, depending on the person, they may or may not know my second point. To own a real gun and use it for shooting at somebody is just plain dumb, irresponsible and stupid… unless I am using it for a self defense role. When looking at their point of view, I can see where they are coming from; basic monetary comparative view. “What could I buy with the money I spent on something like this.” Plainly put, they are not exactly substitutes for each other.
When you look at Airsoft, you can see why I would prefer to play airsoft more often over shooting a real gun. It’s cheaper, I can go to more places to practice basic tactics, I can build teamwork, less restrictions, and it helps me fill a role I wish never to do as a career in my life. Don’t discount shooting a real gun, they have their pluses too, but to go and “run and gun” in an urban environment is very difficult without a specialized facility.
When you start to merge the idea that I’m just buying an airsoft gun in lieu of buying a real gun, that’s where we don’t see eye to eye.
I guess this is where I end my rant.
P.S. Watch out for SB798. They are still after us Airsofters and Paintballers.

The looks like a Buick Super. I have one, I think the same year, if not generation!
Hold you close
I don’t want to let you go, or even try having you leave me. I’m not in the position to let someone like you go and let you leave me here while I have gave you my heart. I trust you, but I still like you. I don’t want to let you go because I want to hold you close. I want to hold you & just let you know that you’re safe in my arms. I want to hold you as if there was no tomorrow. I just want to hold you because I love you.
