I was returning home through the Minneapolis skyways earlier today, a path that usually takes me through the Wells Fargo building. But a security guard indicated that the building was locked down because of something to do with the OccupyMN protest that is currently occurring near the Government Center. I took an alternate route home and glanced down at the protesters as I passed over them. They certainly looked peaceful enough. But after I went through the Government Center, security guards began locking those skyways as well.
This rather modest protest seems to be making the-powers-that-be inordinately jittery. One wonders how they would react to a truly massive demonstration. Based on what I saw today, not well.
