The Occupy movement has seen a rise in "human microphone" weddings in Philadelphia and appearances by activists like Angela Davis in Oakland. The "mic check" tactic was notably used to disrupt a speech by Governor Scott Walker in Chicago. The hosts praise the effectiveness of the tactic in frightening "elitists" and disrupting formal events.
Occupy Wall Street, Human Microphone and Signal Suppression
