The problem is the protests will do nothing. The government and the bankers have been robbing the country blind and it will continue until this group gets put out of office especially the ones who've created this buddy system. Sadly they just get voted back in again and again.

Peaceful Protesting will not do anything, and doing nothing allows the criminals in charge to continue their looting.

I'm not even sure it matters if Ron Paul were to win the presidency because the corruption runs so deep among many players that have hijacked our government for their on ends.

Were done.

In watching all that peaceful protesting on the Brooklyn Bridge I had to wonder who does own that thing. So many people talk about selling it but doesn't the city still maintain it and is it a part of the traffic system? If it is all that then I think that peaceful or not the rights of motorists who want to use that part of the system are being violated. I am ready for the police to start protecting the rights of the people of the city to use their streets.

Yeah I got no problem at all with folks protesting. If I was in NY I probably would be too but when they start getting crazy blocking stuff off and laying around then time to go. Anarchy is not what society is based on. Half these folks probably don't even know why their there to begin with.

Default J P Morgan Chase donated 4.6 million to the NYPD Foundation

Huh?!

67% quarterly profits, after so many millions in bad loans.....

and why is Wells Fargo, that wrote off millions and millions in bad loans, now experiencing the largest growth in their history?

Connect the dots, folks. It's past time for a little civil disobedience.

Has the NYPD found some other way for Tony Baloney "to protect and to serve"?
