Social Activism
How do you supress a movement like Occupy?

Police a faced with Occupy Melbourne deploying Tent Monsters ... worked like a treat!

COMMENTARY
I love this video ... there is great humor at the same time as considerable creativity. For me there is an important message in that the Occupy protesters are thoughtful and playful and serious all at the same time. I would love to listen to lawyers arguing about when a tent is clothing and vice-versa ... what you are actually allowed to do with your clothes (like live in them) and so on.

This was in lovely contrast to the bank manager in Santa Cruz that was trying to maintain that one cannot be a customer and a protester at the same time. (Occupy Santa Cruz) I know I have a touch time multi-tasking, but that is advancing age. The idea of having these two identities seems to be perfectly reasonable.

Also nice to see good policing ... aka peace officers ... and in Melbourne wearing basic police blue without riot gear!
