Occupy!

Police have arrested dozens of Occupy Wall Street protesters during a protest marking the movement's six-month anniversary at its birthplace in Zuccotti Park, New York. The sweep of the park by police just before midnight capped a day of demonstrations and marching in lower Manhattan.

"This is our spring offensive," said Michael Premo, 30, of New York, who identified himself as a spokesman for the movement. "People think the Occupy movement has gone away. It's important for people to see we're back."

I guess I'd be more inclined to think the movement would ever have any power if they didn't take the winter off. I know. That's not quite fair. I'm sure they didn't really take the winter off, but saying “we're back” makes it seem that way.
The demonstrators set up camp in Zuccotti Park on 17 September and sparked a wave of protests across the United States.
Yeah, boy. We were all fired up. Unlike the Arab Spring, however, we petered out after some heads were knocked and the weather turned cold.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
