Tim Franzen for Occupy Atlanta

I connected with Tim through mutual friends on Facebook and am thankful to know him. He has assumed a leadership role within the local Atlanta Occupy movement, and I'd like to share an interview in which he explains his position. Take note, also, of the commercial following his interview and of how it's brash, consumerist approach stands in stark contrast to Tim and is at the heart of the type of culture Occupy is trying to peacefully overthrow. Also, take note that, when compared to nationwide Occupy movements, Atlanta's was peaceful in terms of how the police responded.
