Up in NY there is some guy pedaling a bike with a magneto I suppose to generate power. Too much. It may charge their cell phones but probably not much more.

So keep it up guys, keep blocking traffic and beating on drums and defecating all over public property and annoying people for another year at least. Please.

Wowsie wow!!!!! The city of Baltimore, MD is cutting off the ELECTRICITY hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. at the OWS protest site not intended to be a campsite no permit . Could it be the police unions want more money for this BS? No actually it is assault, rape, grand larceny, drug dealing, labeled as a public safety hazard .

City Cuts Power To Occupy Baltimore Site

November 2, 2011 5:26 PM

BALTIMORE (CBS/AP) City officials say they re cutting power to outlets in the downtown Baltimore park where WallStreet protesters have been living for the last month.

Mayoral spokesman Ian Brennan said Wednesday that the city is taking this step to alleviate a public safety hazard at McKeldin Square near the Inner Harbor. He said a city official visited earlier this week and found fire and electrocution hazards.

Brennan added the outlets were installed so permitted groups could use electricity, but Occupy Baltimore protesters do not have a permit. He said the group is welcome to continue its protest, but the park is not meant to be a camp site.

Street lights in the square will still be lit at night, but the outlets on the poles will no longer provide electricity.

Yesterday, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she was concerned about reports of illegal activity at the Occupy Baltimore encampment.

The mayor said Tuesday that she worries that some protesters may be discouraging people from reporting crime to authorities.

Police are investigating a reported assault and theft at the site. A woman told police she stayed in a man s tent Friday night and awoke to find her money gone. Police say there s no evidence of sexual assault.

Occupy Baltimore said it takes such allegations seriously and has a zero-tolerance policy toward assault.

Rawlings-Blake said she respects protesters free speech rights, but the park is not for camping and should be a space everyone can enjoy.
