Occupy Darien Protests Fall on Deaf Ears Occupy Darien Protests Fall on Deaf Ears Occupy Darien Protests Fall on Deaf Ears
Occupy Darien Protests Fall on Deaf Ears DARIEN, Conn. – If you walked past the Occupy Darien protesters at Tilley Pond Park on Wednesday or Thursday, you probably would have thought it was a small group of friends gathered for coffee and conversation.

One of the most prevalent criticisms across the country of the Occupy Wall Street movement has been that it lacks a clear goal and set of ideals. The fiercest debate of the two-day demonstration in Darien took place between protesters themselve…

Occupy Darien Wants More Protesters on Day 2 DARIEN, Conn. – Occupy Darien organizer Margaret Rague said the Darien Police stopping a train Wednesday morning was part of what kept people away from the first day of the demonstration. “I think it had a chilling effect,” Rague said of the search for a double-homicide suspect that was unrelated to the protest.

Did they think these people were hiding a murderer in their pocket? It was a gross violation of the rights of the people on the tra…
