There was a similar protest that took place yesterday in New York's Washington Square Park, near NYU. The Occupy Wall Street crowd was there protesting tuition hikes. Based on the red star at the bottom of the placards, it was organized by the Workers World Party youth group F.I.S.T. Tons of police and vehicles around.

Re: Occupy Wall Street, Washington Square Park, NYC

From Oct 2011...

"Thousands of anti-greed protesters invaded Washington Square Park today, vowing to fan the flames of dissent and putting them toe-to-toe with cops ready to enforce a curfew.

The estimated 3,000 people flooded the iconic park compared themselves to the "Arab Spring" demonstrations that have toppled totalitarian governments in the Middle East [note: Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and Code Pink, commies all, played a role in organizing "Arab Spring" -ETL].

One speaker urged the crowd -- that hooted and waved hands instead of clapping -- to squat in empty or abandoned buildings and declared, "they have their debts and we have our revolution."

“There are foreclosed homes, empty school buildings that should be made available to all,” she said. "Occupy everything."
