Worth watching until the end. The Occupy movement in a park in Atlanta. It is worth watching for a couple of reasons: the peculiar method of managing communications, and the peculiar response to John Lewis. I have two observations.
1) Nothing will get done, ever, with this approach to consensus and democracy. Seriously.
2) There are several speakers who have words to regret: "John Lewis is not better than anyone. Democracy won!" (9:27)

John Lewis was a freedom rider long before he was a congressman. That was back when the state was the enemy and would kill you.

In another video we have an "Old Marxist" leading a chant that I believe trivializes John Lewis's contribution.
