Occupy Wall Street
+ YouTube Video
Anyone here part of this?
Its interesting however, that the media will covor a tea party with 25 people, but not a wall street protest with 5000.
THIS is the way to go.

Ever been to Wall Street on a Saturday? There is absolutely NOBODY there.
fuck wall street, occupy the goddamn stock exchange floor instead.
WHY kléber, WHY!!!!!!!
These guys are lame.
Well, that what you get when you play by the rules; not much.These guys are lame.
Now, an alternative to occupy the stock exchange could be to establish litteraly a shanty town on wall street composed of most of the 99er.
people occupy streets all the time worldwide, it dosnt worth a dime if there are no objective around it.
generally, you know you are doing the right thing when the police in riot gear try to weed you out.
WHY kléber, WHY!!!!!!!
There aren't enough people to flaunt the police presence and get away with it. Sure, they could go ahead and get beaten with batons and arrested. Would that really accomplish anything?
There are still about 100-200 people chilling there. The pigs won't let them have tents or any "permanent structures", or even bullhorns. There is another gathering called for this Saturday. Some comrades went down last week and said the numbers of 1000 would be quite charitable. Hopefully it can get bigger this weekend, but the media coverage has evaporated.

Unions come in, hopefully this will be Wisconsin 2.0.
"Occupy the floor of the stock exchange..."Yeah, better yet, go in there and start beating up all the specialists and pose a bomb threat... let's cause some market volatility and wipe out millions of American's retirement money... and give me a chance to short stock futures and make a huge profit...
I think it's funny seeing all those people out there screaming about hating corporations, "greed" and "materialism", and then they whip out their iPhones and Apple laptops... *buys Nov. $400 calls on Apple*
No one cares about this, erm... "thingy"... They're totally misguided, unorganized and confused about the real world. If they want to attack the center of oppression, they need to pack up and march on Washington, D.C...

Nice bit of intellectual integrity there Kap... occupy = beat up?

Occupy Congress, it's not like they are using the building.
America is the problem, not the solution.
War is when the government tells you who the enemy is, revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
Finally, the people are doing something! And, that something is not being an authoritarian tea partier who wants to take away power from the people!

I'm unhappy about the direction I see all of this going. I see effort and time and all that being put into something that's going to give a false sense of victory when 'successful' when the fact of the matter is, nobody has assessed what the 'victory' actually looks like.

Looks like another unorganized, sign-waving protest. And they sure as hell aren't occupying Wall Street, if that really means anything.
@ RSWU: Where's your sense of humor? Those Barclays Capital guys would roll your asses anyway! lol!
@ dan74:
Exactly...

You have to say something funny to see someones sense of humor,@ RSWU: Where's your sense of humor? Those Barclays Capital guys would roll your asses anyway! lol!
Stupid =/= funny.
If I say something like "you should be ashamed" or especially "jerk" (I use that one A LOT), it means I'm just ribbing. I'm serious, but not so serious I can't laugh about it@ RSWU: Where's your sense of humor? Those Barclays Capital guys would roll your asses anyway! lol!

I thnk it's a pretty humorous. I haven't been down there to see it mself, but friends tell me the workers on Wall Street don't take it all that seriously, but the cops definitely do.
You know the buisiness media is afraid of something when they go out of their way to dismiss it.
As far as Wallstreet people, I don't know.
As far as vicotry, victory is really mostly the fact that now people are looking at class war and thinking of fighting back, thats the most important thing.
