Time was, everyone occupying Zucotti Park in protest of the financial services industry got along (some extremely well). Now, times have changed and battle lines have been drawn. On one side you have those who are pro drum banging. On the other, you have those who want people to cool it with the drums, out of fear that the neighbors who previously supported the movement will go anti-OWS, over the racket.
A frustrated organizer writes:
Friends, mediation with the drummers has been called off. It has gone on for more than 2 weeks and it has reached a dead end. … We need to take this seriously, and be clear that if we can’t deal with conflict and self-organizing then we are facing eviction very soon (this week), and the allies that helped turn out mass numbers at the last one will not be around this time, nor will the press be supportive.
According to Slate, “the drummers have agreed to limit their banging to two daily sessions, between noon and 2 p.m. and between 4 and 6 p.m.” but it may do little to appease those who want the drums gone, now today and those who feel strongly that the bangings are “the heartbeat of this movement. Look around: This is dead, you need a pulse to keep something alive.”

A pulse is also the only prerequisite most of those yahoos require when it comes to choosing their next conquest.

Who new UBS was behind OWS?
"Can't we all just get along?"
Nothing says my opinion is very important and everybody listens to it like banging on a drum.
Happily banging OWS broads. If they're wearing a drum set all the better.

It would only be appropriate if they were playing the Rogue's March.

Too far?
To the non-drummer oppressors: I'd shush it, before they drag your ass out of a drain-pipe, and broadcast video of your execution on Youtube. Allahu akbar!

Yep. One of my all time favorites. Robin is on You Tube fyi…take a trip down memory lane sometime. She redefines drug-addled fag hag.
Will need to watch it wasted at 3am to really get the full nostalgia effect: prob after drinking at Iggys (although the place is so clean now it's unrecognizable).
Could be worse. Could be vuvuzelas.
Woof woof, not bang bang
Blue Oyster Cult. Frown.
The real cause of all the torment is no diversity in the music.
How about a jazz band? Should do something for the Pinot Grigio set…
Weird. But when I was there the only controversy was whether the Women's Caucus working group would accept only biological females or if female identifying others could join too. Anyone know how the BDSM anarchist munch went?
Give this man a medal.
Thanks for your strategies. One thing really noticed is the fact that banks along with financial institutions really know the spending habits of consumers and understand that a lot of people max away their credit cards around the getaways. They prudently take advantage of this fact and begin flooding your current inbox plus snail-mail box by using hundreds of Zero APR credit cards offers right after the holiday season closes. Knowing that in case you are like 98% of the American general public, you’ll hop at the opportunity to consolidate credit debt and shift balances for 0 APR credit cards.
