Thousands of anti-Wall Street protesters clashed with cops today across lower Manhattan, starting with a march on the New York Stock Exchange this morning and ending with a crossing of the Brooklyn Bridge that snarled traffic.
Cops responded in force, at one point this afternoon sweeping into Zuccotti Park and arresting anyone inside. In total, more than 200 people were busted by cops; five of whom were charged with assault.
The culmination of the day of protests to mark the movement's two-month anniversary began with hundreds of protesters massing on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge.

OWS = Obama Wants Socialism
I bet he still is, in fact I bet he started it.
Wet them down. They will get cold and go home. If their parents will still let them in.
These coddled idiots don't have a clue why they're so mad.
I know a 58 year old teenager from an extremely affluent part of the SF peninsula who has just inherited a cottage in Martha's Vineyards, and who is SO proud that his son (who graduated from a prestigious art college in Delaware with an degree in sculpture) was shown on the local news screaming his pampered head off at the OWS protest in downtown SF.
The punk has never turned in an honest days work in his LIFE.
In case anyone missed this video posted earlier today, it’s hillarious...must see!

Yeah, when you want, how you want, if you want,....until somebody decides the universe doesn't evolve around your sorry a$$.
It’s amazing how many people have absolutely nothing else to do on a Thursday during the work week. Most people have responsibilities like earning a living to take care of their families and can’t take time out of their day to cause mayhem. These wards of the state/parents make me want to projectile vomit.
Well anybody think they will blow themselves up and take a few with them?
I also get the idea they'll forever be protesting for more and more....until?
They've lost John Stewart...
Is it real blood? It looks faked. I wouldn’t put it past the drama babies at the OWS protests.
By my calculations, and rounding up to the nearest full protester, that's exactly 177.0000 more than the Total Tea Party arrests to date.

Back in the 1960s, I went to a high school in NYC where virtually everybody came from a privileged family - and they were the first ones out there screaming about how oppressed they were and how the revolution had to come now.
Many of them were the so-called red-diaper babies, that is, the children of hard leftists. The fact that said leftists had made it big in capitalism and were at that point attorneys, doctors, media and ad execs didn’t diminish their romantic longing for Marxism. The problem is that their children (the kids I went to high school with), after their SDS fling went on to become teachers and professors and corrupt many crops of the gullible well-off young.
Very bizarre. Castro’s “revolution” was conducted almost entirely by well-off university students, such as Che. Cuba at that time had one of the highest literacy rates in the hemisphere and was not very far behind in its standard of living...until the “revolution” came and destroyed life for everybody except the party apparatchiks (those same university students).
LMBO...I know, gotta love it!
