"Over the last few days in Istanbul, an Occupy-style protest has emerged. Since May 27, Istanbulites from all classes, races and ages from all over the city have been committed to peaceful protest in Taksim Genzi Park, the city's largest and only public park, scheduled to be bulldozed and cleared for the construction of a shiny new mall."
Unlike here, the people of Turkey value their PUBLIC park and are being killed defending it. Do people still believe that privatization of parks by special service districts was a divine plan to bring paradise? Are we happy that Philadelphia parks will be shopping centers, corporate event venues, or sold for private development??
Brave people of Turkey, the remaining citizens of the US stand in solidarity with you!
