And now they are going to disrupt the subways at 3:00 PM, Preventing people from getting to and from school, Work and their homes and families. Disrupting the lives of the "99%" they claim to represent. This is dangerous to boot..Subway cars and platforms are the last place a potential riot should be taking place.

They don't care about the 99% they claim to represent. These fools just want to run around and scream and carry signs, thinking they're oh so retro, having a 60s style sit-in or protest.

They're not going to make any changes with what they're doing. All they're doing is giving the NYPD officers a ton of overtime pay and keeping the NYPD from helping people who need it.

I wish they would take their iPods, iPads, iPhones, Starbucks, and JCrew wardrobes and go home to Mumsy and Popsy.

They're protesting after the fact
It is impossible to protest BEFORE the fact.

What WAS going on IS going on and WILL go on. And some people have the strength of will to say ENOUGH anf the courage to put their bodies on the line. But others will winge about missing a subway train.

Remember, people were KILLED by the police before the Vietnam War was brought to a halt. People were lynched by KKK thugs trying to get Civil Rights in the U.S. Whole sections of major cities were burned to the ground.

Revolution is never neat and those who complain about tents and subway disruptions, or God forbid, the inability to get to work on time have no more sense of history than a store mannequin.

For those who denigrade the movement, that is your prerogative, but seems that people get criticized for trying, and criticized for not trying. I rather be criticized for trying....the haters will always hate no matter what. I fully support this group, not because I am in 100% agreement with them, not because I am 100% in agreement with their strategies, not because I am in 100% agreement with all of their members, but because I understand that they are trying to do something positive to make ther world a better place for EVERYONE.

So you can choose to focus on petty nonsense like "oh they smell!" and "they are secretly rich!" and "they just want to hang out", or you can choose to understand what they are about, and it isn't to make Skank of America executives richer, or make the government more corrupt, or to create a greater chasm between the wealthy and everyone else..these are all the things that they are trying to combat.

Why people cannot see this is beyond me...you simply prefer to criticize, ridicule, and denigrate. You don't have to 100% agree with everything, but clearly they are on your side more than Goldman Sachs....geez.

Captain this isn't about any political party..it is about ALL political parties. This isn't about inconveniencing people, it is about salvaging our society. It is really sad that people are complaining about being inconvenienced, but have no gripe with our total economic collapse!!!!!

The blind are easily led...and that is exactly what you are....sheeple.

i bet sobro is a fan of che guevara, someone who thought it was ok to murder people if they stood in the way of his communist revolution. you think sobro would take issue with people being inconvenienced for "the cause?"

I reject your premise that these people are saving our society. It seems to me, the large groups of people who show up to protest because Facebook and Twitter told them to are more sheep like than the Millions of workers going about their lives.
