Oh look, Protesters in New York City. Yawn.

[onehandle]

Put hundreds or thousands of people in front of the homes of Bank of America's CEO,

Or the homes of the Board of Directors of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,

Or the Koch brother's homes,

Or Eric Cantor's home...

Then you will have a story.


Unwashed youths in black t-shirts shouting and waving signs in New York City?

Just a typical day there, in most peoples' eyes.


Think I'll take a nap.

1. "Just a typical day there, in most peoples' eyes." - no, I don't think so.

My guess is there are more 'unwashed youths' plowing fields across the country than there are in NYC.

Yes. Continue with your nap.

2. It's against the law to harass people and corporations ,otherwise we'd all be in

Crawford.Thank god for those " unwashed Youths "

10. Nothing is going to change while we observe the rules and stay in designated 'protest zones.' nt

3. I'll take a bath before I go to DC Oct. 6th.

Clean up my 60 year old ass.

You can continue with your oblivious nap.

7. Name one protest in DC or NYC that has made a major difference since the Vietnam War?

The local folks who can print up buttons and t-shirts in a matter of hours will do well. The one that sets up shop on the Mall in front of The Smithsonian, usually has the best stuff, btw.

Things will only change when protests happen at CEO's homes while they eat with their families or at their mistresses' condos while the CEO is shtupping them.

4. For a couple months now every weekend a

Bunch of animal rights activists have been gathering in front of the home of a person who owns a testing facility protesting loudly. So that is one way but shouldn't look down on what's going on in ny. Is that what the media wants?

5. Right now as we post, RepubliCON, Koch-loving teabaggers are getting paid

to post on liberal sites and communications media in order to denigrate and insult the protesters on Wall Street. It's just easier to get people to sabotage their own best interests when you pay them. So, I wont be surprised when the trolls all come flocking here.

Because it is so much easier to sit behind a keyboard and throw spitballs (especially if you get paid) then actually do something.

6. Wall street on Saturday and Sunday means ...

... nobody around to see it except each other and a few bored cops.

Ever been there on a normal weekend? Empty streets. Spooky.

9. I have. You keep expecting zombies to come out of the shadows. nt

8. I will never put down anyone that actively participates in a protest

whether by themselves, with a few, or thousands.

11. Thats the spirit !

12. Your cynicism is so hip and edgy. It must be tough to be so cool. nt

13. It would be good to aim those protests at the media that we so revere

and who is so irresponsible. Perhaps they would notice what is going on
right underneath their fucking windows....or perhaps they would just be paid
not to notice that as well.
