Occupy The World: Tear Gas, Lost Virginity and Banksy

In case you were living under a rock this week, Oakland Police Deparment pulled out all the stops — riot gear, tear gas, rubber bullets, flash grenades — to clear out Occupy Oakland. An Iraqi war veteran Scott Olsen was critically injured. All eyes turned to Oakland: Jon Stewart was baffled, Michael Moore parachuted in, a sign calling for the mayor's resolution made it to the main display on the New York Times' homepage and after all that, Occupy Oakland is still going strong but unsurprisingly, there seems to be more of a focus on fighting against police brutality.

Occupy DC did not decide to secede from the union, however the Smithsonian would love to have some of their signs when they're done with them.

Occupy Wall Street sounds like a really great party. Kids are drinking Four Lokos and losing their virginity. Katy Perry stopped by to say hi, and there's a hipster (or "hipster") in the corner trashing everyone's fashion sense. It sounds like the best party ever, except for a police group vowing to seek monetary damages from any occupier who lays a finger on a cop.

There's no Occupy Shanghai yet, but that hasn't stopped cops from trying to find foreign occupiers.

Occupy LSX celebrated its first week and expanded to a new site, and Banksy showed up and created a protest-appropriate Monopoly board.

A local columnist in Chicago complained that Occupy Chicago was too young and white.

Occupy Toronto marched to City Hall with some local demands as well as global demands.

Here in Los Angeles politicians are starting to lose their patience with the local occupy movement. Vendors at the Farmers Market are pissed that they've lost their spot on the City Hall lawn, and the city is worried that fixing their lawn will cost $400,000.

In the meantime, some common concerns are popping up around different occupy sites. Sanitation was brought up as a concern in Oakland before it was raided, and the same is true at Occupy DC and other sites. How to deal with the homeless population on the other end of the spectrum from the 1 percenters has been a problem many of the movements, including Occupy Wall Street and Occupy DC.
