Fortune Says Occupy Dallas Is Different

By Tim Rogers |

An alert FrontBurnervian points us to a Fortune story that makes the case that Occupy Dallas is different from its sister protest groups spread across the country, noting:

Occupy Dallas is not only tolerated by the city, it’s hosted by City Hall. While there were arrests during a protest last week, Dallas police have also helped campers on the city property retrieve stolen sleeping bags, and the protesters have marched in solidarity with the police. Dallas, one of the last major cities in the nation to desegregate its schools, seems determined to show its tolerant side.

The story goes on to compare how Dallas has handled the Occupy protestors with how Fort Worth has handled its protestors. Killing them with kindness appears to be working.

(And with that introduction, I invite RAB to fly into an all-caps tirade about these protesters in the comments.)
