Cathy Martin of Emerald Isle with her sign as she attended Occupy Raleigh in October
Occupy Raleigh celebrated their 100 day milestone yesterday. It appears that most of the early “leaders” are gone. Stacie Borrello is still around and I thought it would be appropriate to show her speech at the Capitol in Raleigh. Just to be clear, their first day debut at the Capitol was part of the worldwide Day of Rebellion.
Stacie Borrello’s Talking Points From the Day of Rebellion:
Ms. Borrello’s description of ”Peaceful Revolutionaries” on the Worldwide Day of Rebellion seems to be contradictory. I wonder if Lenin felt that his useful idiots were peaceful revolutionaries?
“Workers of the world unite” – straight from the Communist Manifesto.
The Occupy Spring will be here shortly and we will start to see this “movement” expand. As for their chant “Who’s Streets? Our Streets” in the article below, I will let the reader decide why it is not “Whose Streets? Our Streets”. Is this an example of higher education culminating in a social engineering degree or ABC’s “qualified journalists” trying to gain experience to interview another ex-wife?

Occupy Raleigh: 100 days, 2 more arrests
Members of the Occupy Raleigh movement continue to protest, despite the arrests of two members on what was supposed to be a milestone for the group.
On Sunday, occupiers gathered at the State Capitol in downtown Raleigh to mark their 100th day of protests. The group marched down Fayetteville Street shouting “Who’s Streets? Our Streets,” while demanding an end to what they call corporate greed in America.
“We’re here to demand accountability from our lawmakers,” protester Stacie Borrello said. “This march is just one part of it. You’ll continue to see us do things out here to bring attention.”
During the gathering, police arrested two men – 25-year-old Nicholas Alan Warren Johnson and 33-year-old John Christopher Pearson. Authorities said they refused to leave the traffic lanes on Fayetteville Street and were charged with impeding the flow of traffic. Pearson was also charged with resisting, delaying or obstructing law enforcement.
After being taken into custody, police discovered that Johnson had two outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court.
In its 100 days, Occupy Raleigh has seen several of its protesters arrested.
Their protest began on Oct. 15, when 20 protesters were arrested outside the State Capitol for refusing to move off of the sidewalk in front of the building.
