20 people in front of a bank branch is something newsworthy? Even in a relatively small town as Monticello, NY. BTW, whatever happened to that new resort and casino that was supposed to be built on the site of the old Concord resort that Schmucky Shumer promised? It was gonna generate 1000's of jobs and help bring the Catskills back to it's former glory. Another reason why the best I can say about OWS, at least as far as those who are capable of intellectual honesty(like .9%of these "99%ers)is that they are barking up the wrong trees, they should be occupying DC, Albany, Trenton, Harrisburg, etc.

Fricken Monticello is a pit. WHY do they keep reporting on these miniscule “protests”? These are a joke, really, and make the point that no one really gives a poot about this.

I went to the one in Binghamton NY yesterday, took along my hidden camera, and got a little footage.

What a stupid way to “protest”. My goodness, these people don’t even know how to articulate what is bothering them, much less what they want. Not even after having Bill Ayers post a fricken manifesto for them.

I feel that there is a different agenda altogether with these things, a very ugly agenda. I hope to heck I am wrong. These tiny ones are just to establish “bases”, but the ones in the cities are getting ugly fast.

If you want to see my account of the visit to the Binghamton Occupy protest, it is at:

Absolutely. They should be embarrassed that they can't figure that out!

Here's the answer why they don't know where to go...clueless

"There's no such thing as a Democratic road or a Republican road," said Brown, 54. "There's just roads, and our country needs roads."

54 and as dumb as rocks - worse part he votes.

These idiots don’t have any idea that most people working in that bank are part of the so called 99%.

The only kind of jobs they want are the ones that don’t require you to work.

[timetostand]

They want jobs? Why? So they can participate in the Capitalist system?

If you have ever been to Monticello NY you know how truly pathetic this is.

I attended by Tea Party events in 2009-2010. But I also attended dozens of events with just 40-60 people. NOT ONE of those made the news.

A little late to the party, there haven’t been jobs in upstate NY for 100 years outside of academia, police, fire, power companies, union contractors and restaurant workers.

The papers cover these sparsely attended protests since they are the “right” type of people. Yeah breaking news 3 people protest bank. Last weekend in the Hudson Valley on Sat was a Tea Party protest and the paper never reported how many attended (several hundred) but found the space to compare it to OWS. The next day an OWS protest was held that was mobbed by 55 people. LOL

They held an Occupy Wall Street rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin last weekend. The weather was fine, and the city is home to two accredited universities and one tech school. Bingo on Wednesday at the senior citizens centers probably drew more people. When Obama held a rally in La Crosse in 2008 a month before the election, thousands of college students flocked past my workplace to hear him drone on. Where were the college students, the people most likely to show up for a blame-the-rich rally, for this debacle?
