This is a whole range of people that range from anti-capitalist to Ron Paul supporters. There were several hundred people there Friday and Saturday, fewer today. The mayor of Minneapolis spoke through the people's mic on Friday and so did Jessie Ventura the former governor / wrestler. The police are relaxed and have been ordered to leave people be within the constraints that have been set up. There is lots of learning about process going on. The participants are mostly young and just beginning to claim their space but there are a few old timers there as well and of course the people who live on these streets normally. They seem to have their food and logistical pieces functioning well and are currently looking for ways to get more folks out so that their presence can be sustained especially when the weather turns. We have been lucky weather wise so far but the season will turn before long and when it does it could be drastic. I have seen 3 feet of snow and 20- zero on October 30th here, so this can be a life threatening concern. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>It has been great to be out there.
