Occupy Belmopan Sputters, But Still Going
posted (June 18, 2014)

Yesterday, we showed you how it looked at day one of the Occupy Belmopan protest organized by Patrick Menzies. While he was reported to have a few dozen supporters yesterday, reports to our newsroom today are that only a few individual supporters came out – like 5 or 6.

Still, he held his ground, sitting with the handful of supporters under a tent at the foot of the stairs leading up to the House and stayed there the entire day.

And while the term “occupyâ€￾ suggests uninterrupted occupation, according to our information – we’ll give him a pass, because Menzies left from in front of the House until after 11 o’clock last night.

He is demanding that the gender policy be withdrawn.
