Mayor Jean Quan personally inspected damage caused by dozens of people who broke into City Hall. She said she wants a court order to keep Occupy protesters who have been arrested several times out of Oakland, which has been hit repeatedly by demonstrations that have cost the financially troubled city about $5 million.

Occupy finally leaves family's house
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/loc…Don’t let the door hit you in the collective butt on the way out.
Occupy Wall Street squatters have finally begun moving out of an East New York home after their bungled takeover of the vacant property became a major embarrassment for the movement.
“I told them that if I see anybody there, I’m going to call the cops,” said the home’s rightful owner, Wise Ahadzi, 27, a struggling single father of two.

Occupy vs. Ron Paul
Five members of the Occupy the Caucus movement in Des Moines Iowa were arrested this morning while blockading the entrance to Ron Paul's campaign headquarters.
Using their iconic mic-check speaking style, the protestors spoke out against Ron Paul's campaign pledge to close the Environmental Protection Agency if elected.
Sitting arm in arm, the members of the Occupy movement chanted; "We are fighting for the future generations. In order to live we need clean air, clean water, and safe food. Don't dismantle the EPA. We won't allow this business to open before our demands are met."
Police gave the protestors the opportunity to move from the private entrance to the public sidewalk twenty feet away. Some complied, but five refused to move and were arrested.
Many of the occupy demonstrators claimed sympathy, if not outright support for the ideology of Ron Paul, which made this protest especially uncomfortable for both the occupiers and the campaign.
One of the arrested protester's named Clark Davidson claimed to be a Ron Paul precinct captain as he was led away in handcuffs.
"I don't believe with Ron Paul on every single issue...I came to stand with my sisters. I came to address that with the campaign and I just got arrested," Davidson said.
No one from the Paul Campaign was immediately available for comment.

Unlike the Occupy movements in various cities throughout the United States, the Occupy Miami movement survived 2011 without a single activist getting arrested.
That all changed Thursday when some Occupy Miami activists drove across town to Florida International University to join Occupy FIU activists for a planned concert on campus.

Occupy Nashville Forced To Explain Fist Fight On Christmas Day
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/occup…While in New York, the cleaning up of Zuccotti Park slowed the momentum of the increasingly large and difficult to control Occupy Wall Street movement significantly, many cities across America have yet to clean up their own “occupations,” Nashville among them. The Tennessee protesters had an ugly mishap this weekend, however, as the protesters erupted into fisticuffs on Christmas Day.
