Don't worry. When they occupy the subway tomorrow, they'll change people's minds. Nothing makes people support a cause more than having people scream at them when they're trying to commute.

I wish it weren't true since I have multiple places to go to during the afternoon, some of which include the stations they're targeting .

So the clowns are going to jam up the subways in order to disrupt the 99% (once again) who are trying to get to/from work, home, school, etc etc etc? Wow! That'll show those 1%ers and all the Wall Street people!! Gee, they're soooooo clever!!!!

Ok, takeover of a private park is one thing -- and you are lucky you weren't tossed out sooner. But a public transportation system? In NYC? The Subway? If you really want to create chaos ( anarchy of sorts, nothing I personally think accomplishes a darn thing), why aren't the protesters going fulll tilt into idiocy and protest at the bus stations, the tunnels and bridges and airports as well? You'd get lots of support with that. I don't think the populace would take kindly to it. I am sure even the Mayor wouldn't if he had no people coming in and out of the city.

I figure commuters will give you more grief on the subways than you have ever had on Wall St.
