With the constant reminder posed by the circling helicopter (which has been circling ALL DAY LONG - a huge waste of aviation fuel) I headed down to the State Capitol to see what, if anything, was going on with respect to today's Occupy demonstration.
Some folks were making some brave noises, but the numbers were small. At one point, someone chanted 'the whole world is watching', but that sentiment was misplaced: actually the whole world wasn't watching.
At 3:15 p.m., there were about 300 people on the west steps of the Capitol (about 100 of them law enforcement personnel of various sorts). This is a small number, but there had been rumors that things would pick up towards sunset, as the Capitol became 'Occupied'.
Watchful, expectant people, but little activity at this time.
A flying wing of bicycle cops.
