Occupy Everywhere - Sept 17th - Day of Rage Against Wall Street and what it stands for!

Live now on Michael Moore livestream.


Looks like we're going to need a bigger revolution.

Few arrests...Police kettled everyone, but the protestors just pushed past and knocked down the kettle net and pushed the police aside. Now heading to Times Square. Day a total victory, IMO. Several of the people who went into the Trinity Park [over the fence] and arrested were clergy! Now Police trying to stop any they think are protesters from getting near Times Square. One person just tazed. They did manage, with a few picked off by random grab and arrests to make it to Times Square for a General Assembly. Mostly, the demonstrators walked in the middle of the streets, against traffic and between the cars. The Police were thwarted by less than 1000 people, who were only about 250 by the time they reached Times Square. Imagine what 10.000 could do! The GA in Times Square was amazingly powerful. Each person said why they were there in a mic check. They were surrounded by riot police, who did nothing. Meanwhile the NYPD had five police and several cars protecting their sacred 'Bull' of Wall St. Pathetic how that is a sacred symbol for them and the city. When I went to sleep, the group was headed to Liberty Park. I've yet to see what happened there. OWS is alive and well and growing. I still feel, for all of its deficiencies, this movement may be our last hope. It is amorphous, in that anyone with similar basic ideals can join it, join a fringe group of it, or try to steer it one way or another.... It was a movement who's time had come...perhaps long overdue. [GA is here]
Happy three months old OWS! Expect us! :dancingman:
