Occupy Wall Street... mansions
CNN ^ | October 10, 2011 | Charles Riley

Occupy Wall Street is on the move ... uptown.

Why uptown? Because that's where the rich folks live!

Organizers are planning a march on Tuesday that will visit the homes of JP Morgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) CEO Jamie Dimon, billionaire David Koch, hedge fund honcho John Paulson, Howard Milstein, and News Corp (NWSA, Fortune 500) CEO Rupert Murdoch.

The millionaires and billionaires are being targeted for what event organizers called a "willingness to hoard wealth at the expense of the 99%."

So far, protesters have not strayed too far from downtown, where a home base of sorts has been established at Zuccotti Park.

Tuesday's march -- organized by UnitedNY, the Strong Economy for All Coalition, the Working Families Party and New York Communities for Change -- will cover quite a bit of ground if successful.

The itinerary calls for protesters to hop on the subway, emerging at 59th street near Central Park, where they will start their tour just after noon.

Doug Forand, a spokesman for the groups, said that the protesters do not have a permit for the march, but were not planning on obstructing traffic and would stick to the sidewalks.

I'm wondering how the protesters will deal with the forthcoming rain (tomorrow into Thursday) in New York City.

It could make for some funny videos.

Irony. Hypocrisy. Duplicity. Cowardice.

How convenient that they choose to do this THE DAY AFTER Urkel shows up to shake these people down for campaign donations.

All going according to the Obama/Soros plan. Martial law and suspension of national election to follow. Not kidding.

These guys all live in large coop apartment buildings, presumably on a high floor. Most of them aren’t home anyway.

They’ll be picketing a bunch of nannies with strollers containing bewildered toddlers.

What they should do is put them to work cleaning up the mess they have already made, then when that is done, find other work that they are capable of doing and pay them for it. Bet the crowds would melt at once.

You think any of these people don't have second or third homes?

I know Mr. Koch Sr. made his sons work their ranch during the summer instead of acting like they had money.

The fact that they are going after non-banker David Koch reveals this as a partisan enterprise, as if we didn’t already know.

Well, if you are an active trader, investor, or banker, you’re probably at you Manhattan apartment on a day when the markets are open.....unless you’re on the road. But from 7 AM to 7 PM, these guys will be at their desks downtown.

This cannot be allowed to happen. Get those fire hoses out and wash away the filth.
