After more hours than I care to count I finally went to warm up in a press crash spot at around four in the morning. When I got back to Dewey Square fifteen minutes later, a female member of the media team had been assaulted by a never-seen-before stranger in a dark suit. It was an extraordinarily strange occurrence by all accounts.

It's a mob scene at Occupy Boston tonight. A peaceful mob scene. The terrain is mostly muddy, with remnants of more than two months of revolution scattered over Dewey Square. The signs are packed up. So are most of the larger working group tents, including the enduring food operation, which now consists of just a table with some meager offerings.

Occupiers are clearing tools out of the logistics and media hubs, unplugging chords and carting off their operations. The canopy of blue and green tarps atop Dewey Square is being dismantled, revealing bright tents that haven't seen sunlight in months. A bucket of butternut squash gets loaded into a van. So do the canned goods, which are headed to the Pine Street Inn.

As just reported by David S. Bernstein: "Suffolk Superior Court Judge Frances McIntyre ruled against Occupy Boston this afternoon, declining to issue an injunction and lifting the temporary restraining order that has barred the City of Boston from evicting the campers from Dewey Square." We dug through the 25-page ruling, and identified some eyebrow-raisers.

As was expertly identified in veteran activist Sara Robinson's recent indictment of Occupy's asshole epidemic, the problem with horizontal democracy is that a lot of folks are lazy alcoholic douchebags.

While everything is fine and sunny down at Dewey Square today, the beginning of this weekend was hellish, as rain, sleet, snow, and even hail howled down on tent city. As happens every time the weather fouls up in these parts, new challenges arose and tempers got tested.

We all know how fun the everyday goings-on around the Occupy Boston camp already are. If you can't enjoy yourself at Yoga, Faith and Spirituality Group, or Occupoetry, then you're probably a stiff one-percenter who feeds poor immigrants to his family out in Wellesley. And those General Assemblies – who couldn't have a blast at those?

It's no secret that there's been some turbulence at Occupy Boston. As the Herald dutifully reported (to the delight of many of their readers, I might add), and as anyone who's walked down Atlantic Avenue has likely noticed, there's a bit of a vagrancy problem in Dewey Square. The scenario is more complicated than many have surmised – while some homeless occupiers have indeed been using hard drugs and urinating openly, a great deal of those who otherwise bounce between shelters have taken on responsibilities and made a proud home of the camp.

Last Tuesday, Roxbury rabble-rouser Jamarhl Crawford finally addressed the Occupy Boston General Assembly (GA). Indeed, it seemed only a matter of time before the Blackstonian editor became attracted to the momentum on Dewey Square; the crowd downtown is screaming for many – if not all – of the same issues that he's been mobilizing on for years.

Up until a decade ago, I'm guessing that reporters got to see one major movement in their lifetime. Maybe two or three if they were R.W. Apple, or some other red-nosed journo stalwart with longevity. But in my mere half score of covering pols and pimps, contractors and detractors, whores and wars, I've already witnessed a number of full-blown culture spats, each with a cast of characters worthy of their own trading cards.

It's no coincidence that two of the biggest and most amplified anti-bank actions on record are taking place today in Boston. Actually it is a bit strange considering that the two demonstrations – Right to the City's massive afternoon march, and Occupy Boston's hardcore evening habitation – share no organizational ties whatsoever.

At this early juncture it's already safe to say that Occupy Wall Street has succeeded. I'm not being sarcastic. Yesterday I wrote about the media storm that's showered their protests from early on, and that's rained down even harder since the New York Police Department began brutalizing demonstrators
