Well…it’s been roughly a month now since the Occupy Sac folks started taking over Caesar Chavez (“taking over” used loosely to characterize a few tents and picket signs set up in the middle of the park). As of this morning, there’s exactly one tent left a few lawn chairs. I wonder if most protests fade like this, with a whimper. I’m not old enough to have been around for the big protests you read about in history books like the million man march and stuff, but it’d be sad if it too ended with three guys sitting by a tent.
