Occupy Falmouth November 5, 2011

While I was shooting this video of the Occupy Falmouth protesters a man walked past me and commented that I was wasting my time talking to, in his words, these “homeless bums.”  Soon after that another man approached me and called me a hippie.

I don’t understand this hostility directed at a group of citizens participating in our democracy.  The Occupy Falmouth protesters are not bums, hippies or radicals.  They are Americans and they are regular people – just like you.
