TSO sends a link to a Washington Examiner<\/a> report of the latest one hour occupation of McPherson Square in downtown DC just off of K Street.<\/p>\n

At exactly 6:00 PM, about 40 people gathered on the only portion of McPherson square that is clear of tents, and began their discussions. The agenda included a brief welcome, a reading of guidelines, a review of their unique voting process, committee reports, a \u201cde-escalation\u201d brainstorm, and announcements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, that’s it, they have a one hour meeting every night and that’s the extent of their “occupation”, that’s occupation in the sense that they take up space, not in the sese that they have jobs. And they’ve developed a secret hippie code to communicate their pleasure and displeasure with their one hour protest;<\/p>\n

To keep the noise level down, protesters use hand signals instead of vocal commands to demonstrate opinion. \u201cTwinkle fingers,\u201d performed by wiggling fingers at ear level, shows approval. \u201cFact check,\u201d which imitates the rapid-fire of two revolvers, requests a confirmation of logistics. The \u201cblock\u201d, which brings the forearms into an X shape, \u201cis very powerful, very rare. It shows your opposition to a proposal is very strong, <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So basically, the only reason this “occupation” exists is for the one hour social event every night and to make unsightly pests of themselves, because they’re certainly not getting anything accomplished except giving the world a glance at what government would look like if the hippies had their way. And, you can’t see me right now, but I’m all twinkle fingers over here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
