Dallas based Reality TV Show " Cheaters" visit Occupy Dallas ??


On the Facebook page for OD they reported:

The show "Cheaters" showed up at Occupy Dallas. They came from all corners of the camp like ninjas. Startled protests stood shocked for about 30 seconds before deciding to literally chase the camera crew out of the camp. They chanted "shame". Whether it was at the camera crew for disrupting activities or at the cheater himself, no one is really sure.

UPDATE: The State of Our Occupation

Post from Occupy Dallas.com


Newcomers and Old Friends,

I'm going to describe some of the changes we made today at camp as well as update you on our current status. If you'd like to join us, consider this your guide:
Your first destination should be our Welcome Tent. Once inside, you will find helpful occupiers which will ask you for some information and give you some as well. Essentially, your name (or handle), any contact information you care to share and what workgroup or committee you'd like to join.
In our occupation, everyone has responsibilities and we've separated those into “work groups”. They are: Art, Education, Protest, Medical, Safety, Media, Cooking, Outreach and of course, Protest. New groups form and merge almost on a daily basis! There are no unemployed in our camp. Everyone has an occupation. Pick something that interests you. If it doesn’t fit, don’t get discouraged. You can always pick another group. Most of our members work in more than one.

Occupy Dallas: We Aren't Relocating Group denies reports that it voted to move its campground for a day

Occupy Dallas disputed news reports Thursday that it would be moving its camp from its current site behind City Hall.
In a deal with the city, the group moved its campsite to City Hall Park nearly three weeks ago. It has a permit to remain in the park until mid-December.
Occupy Dallas said in a telephone interview Thursday night that the group's General Assembly did not hold a vote to move the camp to another location for a day.

Occupy Dallas to Relocate, Regroup [video]


DALLAS - Protesters in Dallas voted Thursday evening to close down the camp near city hall and relocate somewhere within the Dallas city limits.
Occupy Dallas has been struggling with people in the encampment who are not part of the cause, including some people who have criminal backgrounds.
For example, protesters said someone showed up to the camp this week and pulled a knife on someone. Nobone knew who he was.
Last week a convicted sex offender was arrested at the camp for the sexual assault of 14-year-old runaway and Thursday morning Child Protective Services workers showed up to question a family about staying in a tent with a 9-month-old baby.
And in addition to the bad publicity, the protesters said there are people who have been taking advantage of the movement by sleeping in donated tents and eating donated food.
