Now that the Occupy movement has been booted from public parks and places, they’re looking for prime real estate to set up their camps from which to base their activities from.
And it looks like foreclosed homes are the new chosen places for these folks to do that.
I wrote an entry detailing how one particular man was supported by the Occupy movement to move back into his foreclosed home. It appears this was not an isolated incident, and was simply part of a grander gesture by the movement.
If you look at it from the wider point of view, you’ll see that the movement is not only finding new places to base themselves in but are also doing two things: focusing the collective efforts of the movement into one specific issue and directly hurting the banks and financial institutions that they always wanted to target since long ago.
And this could be the defining moment where the Occupy movement ceases to be a collection of rag-tag rebels without a cause and becomes a campaign that focuses all its grievances into one single cause.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t evolve into a protest-slash-revolution movement like the Arab Spring.
