I was researching Occupy Philly and I found this video. I though it was quite relevant since we're currently talking about skateboarders. Watching the boarders do tricks in the midst of all of the tents and protestors is actually really intriguing- they even get yelled at and threatened by a woman protestor- pretty funny to watch. Check it out!

Nice Vid! I wonder how the occupiers feel about their tents being used as jumps and safety nets, or how they feel about the skaters at all (sorry if they say something, I'm watching the video with no sound in a computer lab on campus). In general, it seems like an opportunity for different people to come together, and something tells me the occupiers have similar feelings regarding public/private property as the skaters.
