To Safely Occupy a Bridge

A poster rallying people to join the Occupy Pittsburgh movement called people to march on one of the many Pittsburgh bridges several weeks ago.

As always, chickenmonkeydog is in no way a political blog and the editors have no opinion to express either way on the Occupy movement.  We are simply observing that choosing to gather hundreds of people on a bridge which you believe is “falling apart,” may not be the wisest plan.

Perhaps another location may have been a wiser choice?

Note: This event was scheduled to occur on November 17th, 2011 and based on the news coverage, the bridge condition did not cause any issues.

  1. Agreed, I’m not sure how the phrases occupy the bridge and “it’s falling apart” are used together so flippantly.

    There’s no mention about “synchronized marching” in the article though so I guess that’s a relief.

  2. @ Sumanth,

    You said ‘flippantly’. That’s awesome. Perhaps one of the most under-utilized words in the English language. Well played, sir, well played.
