Thanks for your response, Mr working class hero! )I gotta laugh at that).
What do you think the police should use on them, clubs or tasers?

Default Occupy Wall Street... Do you Care

Do you care about these protests?


I don't know, I just think it's very disorganized group of confused people. They have so many messages.
Personally I've seen a bunch of pro socialist signs, anti war signs, anti business/bank signs, ALOT of pro union signs, a bunch Ron Paul 2012 signs, NWO signs, even something about aliens, etc.
A few people in random costumes.

Some conspiracies are around about a media blackouts, bank buying out media outlets not to show coverage etc. Just reading on twitter.

We was taking a trip (vacation) in NYC,
I watched as a cop tried to moved through the crowd (I believe people were blocking a door/street or something..idk) and this lady just started randomly bawling (crying).

It's ridiculous. I care because it's disruptive to society for little or no added value.

Most likely nothing will come out of it, but it does matter that people are getting smarter, not wanting the U.S. to become more of an oligarchy than it already is.

Did any of them mention bringing the Bankers and Executives to trial?

The protestors "are disruptive" ...but not the stranglehold rich corporate elites have on this country? They OWN this country.

It's going to get really, really, really, bad before you finally learn.

The wealthy add value... that's the difference.

I certainly do love NYCers passion to express themselves though.

Let's hope our rebellious Founding Fathers don't track you down!

A slap here, a punch there, a kick here, a pinch there, and spit in your face!

The founding fathers had value. There's a difference.
