Occupy Detroit was a grassroots off-shoot of Occupy Wallstreet, as were countless other Occupy movements WORLDwide. In an post industrial-age major city that is now deeply impoverished, under-educated, and largely unemployed, the strong revolutionary spirit expected to resurface here seemed to be suspiciously suppressed. The true 99% as represented by men like military veteran "Wayne", an underemployed and misplaced ex-serviceman with a serious passion for poetry. Stories like his, "Fat Cat"'s and others were swept away as the increasing political tide, (stemming from the 1%'s fear of revolt),  began to rise and drown the more disenfranchised folks who were 'used' to lend "cred" to the movement. The inexperienced youth who had previously only been involved in student politics (mostly upper-mid. classsuburban  kids from nearby WSU) assumed the leadership role. They were eager to work with the reps of the 1%.... the politicians. This is historically the way to poison an up-and-coming revolution...and it has seemed to work. What happened to Occupy Detroit? Here's an example of why the true voices of the movement, the ppl who were in the park because they had nowhere else to go, had to be exchanged for more obedient, inexperienced students eager to make a name for themselves in politics. The 99% keep it TOO 100, like Brother Wayne here. Bless you, Bro.
 Peace.
