Video: Occupy Philly Christmas spectacular

POSTED: Friday, December 23, 2011, 12:15 PM

 

For those who have been missing the antics of Occupy Philly since they withdrew from Dilworth Plaza — anyone? Mayor Nutter? — last night about 50 demonstrators roamed the streets with some anti-establishment Christmas spirit. Visiting the Verizon store at 11th and Market to decry corporate greed, they were joined by some Unite Here union members for verses of "We Say No" to the tune of "Let It Snow" — and, of course, the holiday classic, "Occupy is Comin' to Town." (Full lyrics sheet here in case you want to bring this one home for the holidays.) The turnout, while still substantial enough to shut down traffic, drew only a modest police presence, as compared with previous Occupy demonstrations that brought out dozens of bicycle police.
