No Occupy arrests in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia or the Susquehanna Valley,

Has this happened in any other state?

None yet is Alaska,

But there is a unresolved stand off,

In PA both police and protesters have been avoiding arrests.

Interestingly in Salem Oregon there have been no arrests only because the Park Occupiers have been staying up all night obeying the police order not the sleep in the park and going to sleep at 6 am

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Iowa city has no arrests


I wonder if it's 10% or 70% of the occupy places so far avoided arrests. No one who is totally computer savvy seems to be keeping track.

The stories from Iowa City resemble Philly, I'll keep looking.

One might think it obvious that occupation arrests didn’t occur in small town and rural occupation actions. However arrests did occur in small town Gainsville, www.alligator.org/news/local/article_0c4aeb6a-f62f-11e0-abe7-001cc4c002e0.html

but no arrests in West Plains,

or in Martinsburg,

I am shocked there aren't any arrests in Philly, especially since we live in a police state. Should people get arrested for behaving lawfully? No, but it certainly would help draw more attention from the corrupted MSM to the plight of the ignored average American. And average Americans are always ignored by the MSM, corruption will do that.

Sorry Capnto be ignorant but googling MSM didn't help me what you meant by "the corrupted MSM"
