LITTLE ROCK, AR - Charges have been dropped against four Occupy Little Rock members as their trial was set to start in Little Rock District Court Wednesday.

Greg Deckelman, Jennifer Pierce, Glen Miller and Amy Ciciello were arrested for not leaving their protest site last May and charged with disorderly conduct. The four turned down a plea deal last September.

The group had an encampment set up for seven months as Little Rock let them use a vacant lot at East Fourth and Ferry streets.

If the regulars have been paying attention; he has ambiguous posts on guns also. One day he's against, the next he's for. I guess it's that homemade wine and the green maybe. I've changed my tune on a few stories also, after getting more info. Butch is Butch, and we all like him. He just don't like us! LOL Peace out Butch!

Yes, we have a Bill of Rights that allows us to "assemble". But I never did fully understand what they were "protesting". As far as welfare; they camped out at night, and protested during the day; when did they go to work? Have a friend in the Patriot Guard Riders tell us he drove by them in his work truck, and they hollered names at him such as "capitalist pig" and so on. What's up with that? Someone's gotta work to pay for their welfare!

Butch please enlighten us as to what "rights" these L O S E R S were protecting? As far as I am concerned these people have a right to get a job and quit leaching off of others.

Butch, I recall you talking just as much smack as the rest of the people on here when this was in the news. When did you have the change of heart?

Ditto ArkYank, these maggots were just wasting time between welfare checks and I doubt many are working to this day

Funny how you cry about your gun rights on here but complain about the people with a set big enough to fight publicly for your rights. WHINERS and idiots all. I never heard where the got welfare. The way the government acted against these champions of our rights you know they would have pulled it right off. So remember when you cry about your rights let these people have theirs too. I've never heard such miss matched gibberish in my life. Welfare. Have you people lost it.

The only reason this spent so much time in the news is because the media put it there. Most people didn't care about it at all
