Mayor Quan a No Show @ Occupy Oakland

UPDATE: Report from The Daily Kos

Mayor Quan planned to speak to #OccupyOakland's General Assembly tonight in the park occupiers have re-taken after being brutally evicted days ago. 

However, after being told that she would need to wait her turn in line, just like everyone else must do, the Mayor left the General Assembly.

The General Assembly began very emotionally, with many veterans speaking, including Josh Shepherd, the veteran who was standing with Scott when he was injured, and those who saved him in the street and cared for him in the hospital. This concluded with chants of "I am Scott Olsen" as Mayor Quan looked on in the distance.

Regarding Quan's absence, this is the Mayor's Tweet just after she left City Hall without speaking to the protesters:

I was told I could speak at the speak out but that was cancelled. Hoping to speak at the general assembly tonight

Translation: I left when I decided not to wait my turn on stack at the General Assembly.

I'm Just Sayin!
