Occupy Buy More Stuff! Occupy Portland Marches Through Mall for Black Friday
Posted by Sarah Mirk on Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 4:03 PM
A group of about 150 Occupy supporters marched through the hectic Lloyd Center (which was, remember, once the largest mall in America), chanting, "Don't buy! Occupy!" amid confused, bemused, and apathetic Black Friday shoppers. A farcical second protest involving five people dressed like billionaires also occupied Lloyd Center mall at the same time, cajoling shoppers to buy more stuff (and hurry!).
While many shoppers stopped to watch the protest and asked what it was about, others were entirely apathetic or told the protesters they didn't really care. Kind of a tough crowd.
