We’ll be writing much more about this movement in the coming week—keep in eye out for further coverage in Wednesday’s print edition—but below are a selection of photos from the march, in chronological order. The first photo bears some explanation: just before the march, Orlando Police Department Chief Paul Rooney took the stage to remind the organizers that the park which they are currently occupying will close at 11 p.m, and that staying after-hours is a misdemeanor offense. It’s unclear if the Occupy Orlando movement will venture to perform any civil disobedience, but I guess we’ll know by 11 o’clock tonight. Stay tuned.
