Occupy Toronto protester Tom Zaugg is sitting in the middle of a yurt, slivers of daylight falling on his face. It is the day after the temporary reprieve of eviction.

[Amonester]

4. it also excuses their cowardice.

Complicit cowardice.

5. I know, but it is confusing to the PTB

[MedleyMisty]

6. And the fascists insist that you have a target

that they can assassinate.

10. he's right. if everyone knew you have now and not then or
