From the bird’s eye stream I watched, if you discount the police and the media there looks to only be about maybe 50 actual protesters there....what a joke. What happened to the tens of thousands of people that were supposed to show up???
Classic: A protester telling a cop they have a constitutional right to march down Wall Street and the cop responds, “You don’t have a constitutional right to infringe on other people’s rights”
"Behind the Violence, Says Jane Alpert, Was Sex"--November 09, 1981--
"The leaders of the Weather Underground, she believes, followed a similar pattern of constantly shifting sexual alliances..."http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20080637,00.html
"...the Weathermen, when not engaged in group sex, committed such revolutionary acts as parading with a Viet Cong flag through a local park on Independence Day and spray-painting the walls of a high school with the slogans, "Off the Pigs," "Viet Cong Will Win," and "F#$k U.S. Imperialism."..."

Occupy this...
...ya pink commie jackweasils.
The Other 99 is reporting that a Philadelphia police captain arrested by NYPD... unconfirmed at this time.
I would much rather follow this woman than that OWS commie protest.

The “poor” and “down trodden” certainly have a lot of very expensive audio and video equipment.
OWS protest throughout the US is a potential haven for terrorist to do there dirty work.
I hope they put an end to this soon before all He!! breaks loose.
"This Occupy Wall Steet protester suffered a head injury after he knocked off a police officer's hat - and set off a near riot in Zuccotti Park, according to our reporter John Doyle. Photos by Craig Warga/New York Daily News."
Looks like one smart ass protestor just found out the hard way what happens when you screw with NYC's finest..
I feel terrible for the police that have to deal with this crap.
"3:18 PMAnjali MullanyRocco Parascandola reports that there have been more than 100 Occupy Wall Street-related arrests so far today in New York City.
To update our earlier report about a copy with a hand injury: a cop was cut on the left hand by a thrown glass object.
A DCPI official told Jennifer Cunningham, "The officer who was injured was responding to a call for help inside the park. The cop responded inside. One of the protesters threw something. It was an object that had glass in it. I can't even describe it because I haven't seen it. It was something that was being held that was thrown at the officer. He's got a nasty cut on his left hand. Its probably going to take a about 20 stitches."
Cops are looking for the attacker.
Another cop was doused in the face with an unknown liquid earlier.
Four cops who were doused with a liquid earlier went to New York Downtown hospital.
Early this morning, police recovered - from doorways of Financial District buildings and from a truck stopped of the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel - about a dozen locking devices.
3:55 PMAnjali MullanyKerry Burke is at Union Square, where he says about 400 protesters have congregated at the north side of the park. About 100 of the protesters walked up University Place from NYU.
It's raining, and there are more umbrellas on the scene than signs. The protesters are chanting:
"Students and workers, shut the city down!" "Money for jobs and education, not police and corporations!"
Meanwhile, Jennifer Cunningham is following several hundred protesters as they march up to Union Square past City Hall, chanting "Hey hey! Ho ho! Bloomberg has got to go!"

I don't know who Congressman Michael Grimm is but good for him for saying this!
"2:30 PMMeena Hartenstein Congressman Michael Grimm on OWS:
These people have overstayed their welcome and its time they get the heck out of New York City. Between the filth, the smell, the incessant noise, and threat to public safety, they have done nothing but cause a nuisance to the people who work and live in Lower Manhattan. Theyve cost the city and surrounding businesses millions of dollars, and its time these people find a more productive use of their time. New Yorkers have had ENOUGH! said Congressman Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island).
The people I represent are the hard-working 99% who simply want to go to work, do their jobs, and get home to their families without being hassled along the way. They already face one of the longest commutes in the nation without having to deal with this mob. It is reprehensible for these lowlifes to overrun the Staten Island Ferry or the subways to Brooklyn and add further hours to the trip home, he said.
I applaud the efforts of Mayor Bloomberg, and the NYPD under Commissioner Kellys leadership, in cleaning up Zuccotti Park and managing a potentially violent and destructive situation. They have done a tremendous job! However, it has been two months and now its time for the OWS protesters to pack up their tents, buy a bar of soap, and head home, Grimm said.

According to reports on the radio, there are a couple of hundred protestors on the LaSalle Street bridge in Chicago, supporting OWS. Seems to me all of these protests have been given very loose guidelines as far as what they can do, when and where. The Tea Party gatherings were always limited to a specific place within time limits. The bureaucracies in the big cities are all filled with Dems, that’s why it is so.....
A “day of action” means something entirely different to these people.

The most moral, virtuous, generous, responsible, egalitarian thing a person can do is to provide for the basic needs of you and your family.
That way you do not transfer your liabilities to the society in general. And at some point, God Willing, you might produce more than you consume...and actually become an asset to those around you.
Now that's ACTION!
