“We didn’t really know who was going to show up for the occupation. It was all a great mystery. We had to throw it together very quickly; it was thrown into our laps the last seven weeks before the event itself.

Now we’re stuck being told we’re deadbeats for the rest of our lives, owing money to the very people who destroyed everything.”
