Here is Week 3 of AP member Griff Fuller’s special report on the ‘Occupy Los Angeles’ protests against corporate greed: “I started the week missing out on a free Van Hunt show at Amoeba Hollywood. I went back down to Occupy LA. The crowd had grown, but concerns and doubts about stagnant actions in our movement grew with the crowd. I retweeted on October 16 a brilliant document titled “Recognition of Oppression Across Occupations” which was agreed upon at the General Assembly a week prior. It blantly calls out and details the abuse of power by the government against the people who are peacefully demonstrating across the nation.”
