*With Video* Daylight Disinfectant: Occupy Portland One Year Later

From Screen Cap of Video by Daylight Disinfectant
At a celebration of the Occupy Wall Street Anniversary, September 17, 2012; Occupy Portlanders gathered and protested their egregious downtrodden conditions. The movement appears a mere shadow of it's former self. Where once they numbered in the thousands, Occupiers now number about 100. Where once they scaled to the lofty criminal heights of murder rape, assault, domestic terrorism and destruction of personal and private property, they now must be content with misdemeanor traffic infractions, rude intolerant behavior, and



swearing in front of children on the grounds of a Catholic Church. Some of the Occupiers carry pig heads impaled on stakes, and signs which threaten to "Eat the Rich." However, one Occupier is recognized as a resident of an upscale downtown loft building with residences leasing in the $1500/mo range.

The usual cast of characters make appearances, including former mayoral candidate Cameron Whitten who looks fit and healthy despite his desperate hunger strike which recently took him to the brink of death. KBOO Radio Talk Show Host Ibrahim Mubarak, who was previously caught on tape yelling racial slurs at Black members of the TEA Party, also seems in top notch condition, considering he's Portland's most renowned bum.

A Standard bearer for "Jobs With Justice" apparently had a unique way of signing the Standard/Pledge for her organization. She signed it "Fu*k You!" and encourages other protestors to do so as well. This on the grounds of a Catholic Church with children (deliberately edited out), directly in front of her. No one challenges the woman.

One Occupier is certainly down for the struggle: he's disgruntled that the Library is no longer open on Mondays. Again, language warning: Viewer Discretion is advised.

  1. I guess when you have nothing else to complain about, you go after people for jaywalking? Really?

    By the way, when the guy was joking about being in the street "Oh my god," people were crossing the street and approaching St. Francis. But I guess that part didn't make the cut.

    The "Republican's Suck" was aimed at Dan Sandini (Daylight Disinfectant). He was the ONLY person who decided to wear a Guy Fawkes mask to this march. It's not like none of us recognized him.

    Lastly, I find it incredible that you guys continue to focus on the mentally ill. "I signed it fuck you" was shouted by a person who was obviously among the houseless population who suffers from mental illness. She spent the ENTIRE TIME shouting and screaming. And yet, in true form, you guys use her for your political gain.

    All in all...it must have been a slow news day for you guys.

  2. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    Thank you, Victoria Taft & Dan Sandini. I needed a good laugh. By the way, Dan, nice "anonymous" mask. You were the only one there hiding your face.

    Seriously, this stuff is almost as good as that time Sandini digitally altered footage from the Feb 6 march, to wipe out the background, since the footage would have contradicted his story.

  3. Hi guys,

    The reality that only a handful of people showed up for yet another mass uprising by the 99% seems to escape you and that's the real news take on your event. Your diffuse and frankly contradictory message not only confuses people trying to understand just what the bleep your trying to say, but your own members as well. In a year here, I've never had a single "Occupier" provide a concise, coherent summation of their program beyond, "I want free stuff".

    What that lady was screaming was not all that out of line with what you hear at any Occupy event. Besides, I thought you were the real representatives of the homeless and the mentally ill.

    If you don't want to be a fringe movement, try leaving the fringe at home.
