Tennessee Occupy protesters return, no arrests



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Someone must have figured out that arresting protesters who couldn't be charged didn't make much sense. If anything, the ignorance of the governor and state police may have helped bring out more protesters. Thanks for the help, gov.

Occupy Wall Street protesters chanted slogans, danced to stay warm and defiantly protested into the early hours Sunday near Tennessee's Capitol building, squaring off for the third consecutive night against state authorities.

"Whose plaza? Our plaza!" about 50 demonstrators chanted early Sunday in defiance of an official curfew.

Capitol police sporadically made their rounds and a state trooper occasionally walked past the protest in the pre-dawn hours, but authorities signaled no immediate attempt to make arrests as law enforcement agents had done on the two previous nights.
