NEW YORK (AP) -- The protesters at the heart of the Occupy Wall Street movement were planning a day of rest Sunday, a day after rallies across the globe drew thousands who marched and chanted and, in some cases, grew violent.
...
In Chicago, Sunday began with much more activity. At least 175 people were arrested in the early hours after refusing to obey a police order to leave a park that closed at 11 p.m.. They were in somewhat of a contrast to demonstrators elsewhere, .. Still, the arrests were mostly peaceful, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Over the course of what was billed as "a global day of protest" Saturday, demonstrators gathered in cities throughout the world to rally against what they see as corporate greed and Wall Street's role in the financial crisis. In Rome, rioters hijacked what had been a peaceful gathering and smashed windows, tore up sidewalks and torched vehicles. Repair costs were estimated at $1.4 million, the mayor said Sunday.
But most of the marches remained largely nonconfrontational, though dozens were arrested in New York and elsewhere in the U.S. .. Two officers in New York were injured and had to be hospitalized.
In the city's Times Square, thousands of demonstrators mixed with gawkers, Broadway showgoers, tourists and police to create a chaotic scene in the midst of Manhattan.
"Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!" protesters chanted from within police barricades. ..
Sandra Fox, 69, of Baton Rouge, La., stood, confused, on 46th Street with a ticket for "Anything Goes" in her hand as riot police pushed a knot of about 200 shouting protesters toward her.
"It's horrible what they're doing," she said of the protesters. "These people need to go get jobs."

Well at least the NAZI party asked..../s
Well, at least they got one thing right.
Just imagine their homes.
[or mother’s basements, as the case may be]
That’s really just a unrealistic stereotype, you know.
It’s not the dark ages over there, anymore.
None of my ancestors married any of their relatives.
That was before they became the government.
When they became the government, they stopped asking.
TOSS THE Czar/Tsar/Caesar SALADIN in 2012!
Meanwhile, back at StinkPotty Park...The mob of the Children of the Demned, non-survivors, is shrinking.
I guess even some of them can only take sleeping among bags of shit and the stench of pee and sweat has it’s limits.
Time to go back to mommy’s, and have her wash your clothes and feed youu, after you’ve taken a bath eith a bottle of PhysoDerm...
In other words, this will cost Obama BIGTIME come next year whe he LOSES his job.
We are on the brink of the greatest bailout the world has ever witnessed. Or Europe will fail. One or the other. What is about to happen could spark even greater protests. 2012 may very well be remember for riots. Large riots. Unrest. War.
This will not end well.
Does this surprise anyone?????
Journolist 2.0: OccupyDC Emails Show MSM, Dylan Ratigan, Working With Protesters To Craft Message
Big Journalism has learned that the Occupy Washington DC movement is working with well-known media members to craft its demands and messaging while these media members report on the movement. Someone has made the emails from the Occupy D.C. email distro public and searchable. The names in the list are a veritable who’s who in media.
Journolist 2.0 includes well known names such as MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan, Rolling Stone’s Matt Tiabbi who both are actively participating; involvement from other listers such as Bill Moyers and Glenn Greenwald plus well-known radicals like Noam Chomsky, remains unclear. The list also includes a number of Occupy organizers, such as one of the Occupy Wall Street main organizers Kevin Zeese.
Is Occupy Wall Street rapidly becoming the U.S. counterpart to the arab spring??? Is OWS a concerted effort to radically change our country? Wake up!
