Cities throughout Maryland and Virginia have also been cracking down on Occupy protesters. Occupy Charlottesville was denied a permit to protest in the city’s Lee Park and 18 protesters were arrested Wednesday after some lingered past the park’s curfew. Occupy Richmond was raided by police two weeks into its protest and its members are now camping, by invitation, on the lawn of a local newspaper editor. Across the state line in Maryland, Occupy Baltimore protesters were denied a permit to continue protesting near the city’s Inner Harbor this week.
