Reply #44: You missed the huge crowds at the march and have posted a [View All]

clip out of hours of coverage. There have just been over 100 arrests from that huge crowd that was peacefully demonstrating, two separate mass arrests, less than an hour ago.

That will guarantee an even bigger crowd. They intend to be there for months, the crowd this weekend is bigger than last weekend, and with people now coming from around the country, with support from unions and other organizations which keep pouring in as there is hardly anyone who does not agree with this issue, the crowds are only going to grow more.

The police targeted their media, hoping to hide the mass arrests, but people caught them on camera anyhow.

The numbers IN the city are only a tiny fraction of the massive support they have from all over the country and the world. Not everyone can be there, like me right now, but all of us can do things to help a core group to stay there until some of their demands are met.

The fact that you say 'they have no message' is another indication that you do not understand this kind of protest. They wanted this to be a democratic process, and over the past week, during their Assemblies every night and morning, they have made a list of their goals, so far.

But everyone knows the main goal. Surely you know why they chose Wall Street for this protest? I think most people get that. From all over the world they got it.

Today was a huge success so far. They now have legal help, food coming from all over the world, merchants in the city donating to the marchers. This will grow unless it is violently put down. And watching the police attacks today, that may very well happen,.

I can't imagine why you would want it to fail. They are doing it for all of us.

They are also planning a benefit concert, and they are going to join the other protest on Oct 6th in DC. It is movement, it isn't about how many are there at any given time. People come and go all week. And those who can't be there, are helping them from afar.

Oh, and Wisc is sending bus loads of people to join them also.
