During a Thursday meeting at McPherson Square, until Saturday the epicenter of the protests, Occupiers brainstormed tactics for shutting down or disrupting the conference, according to a source who was present at the meeting.
The protesters suggested pulling fire alarms in the hotel where the conference will take place, screaming fire during conference activities, glitter-bombing participants, cutting electrical power, and barricading entrances to the hotel, according to the source, who requested anonymity.
Speakers will be physically assaulted, not just verbally confronted, the source told Scribe in an email. Two Occupiers, who the source also identified as members of the New Black Panther Party, said they would be disappointed if they didnt get arrested and planned to make it count.
The source quoted another protester as saying, Mitt [Romney] has Secret Service now, but [Newt] Gingrich and [Andrew] Breitbart dont, seemingly suggesting that the latter two would not be as heavily guarded.
