Ok, a few more updated images from this laughable farce of a "protest":
First, here's an anti-capitalist "protestor" and his "moll" perusing the internet on an expensive notebook - an Apple for those who can't tell from the image - inside, of all places, the
McDonalds on Broadway just across from the park they've planted themselves in!
The incongruities just abound: but for capitalism and all of the benefits it provides, these two yo-yos wouldn't have (1) a laptop that cost about $2,000, and that can process data at several billion operations a second, (2) a wireless connection - provided for no extra charge by McDonalds - that is robust enough and fast enough to download graphic-intensive websites in almost real time, (3) a comfortable, well-lit, clean place in which to sit for as long as they want, for the price of a cup of coffee (and not even that, since they brought in cups from other capitalist establishments as well), or (4) the extra money, after necessities are taken care of, to pay for a $2,000 plus notebook and cups of high-priced coffee in downtown Manhattan. And that's just the first few things I can think of off the top of my head.
In other words, not only are these folks hypocrites - denouncing for rank political effect the very products and services that they are so willing to take advantage of - they're also bald-faced liars because (a) they quite clearly are not toiling in service to this mythical "1%" they keep yammering on about, and (b) they aren't poor because they clearly have plenty of cash to spare for the nicer amenities in life.
Oh, and the best part? Mr. "Protestor" hurriedly tried to put a bandana across his face once he realized that I had a camera and wasn't afraid to use it. Sap.
