    Occupy Wall Street protests spread across U.S

    Inspired by the events in New York City, protesters begin assembling in several cities across the U.S.


    As police arrested hundreds of protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, more demonstrations began to spring up across the U.S.

    In Los Angeles, protesters gathered in front of City Hall and danced on buses with "peace" emblazoned on the side.

    A smaller protest was held in Chicago's financial district where protesters held placards demanding “Jobs Not Cuts”.

    Protesters also turned out in Denver, gathering downtown before marching into the city chanting, "Occupy the streets."

    All the protests were inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement which has seen hundreds of people camping out near the financial district in New York City and conducting marches calling for an end to home foreclosures and high unemployment.

    Is this just a ploy to get Obama's failures off the front page? Who asked Van Jones and the other communists to do this?
    Who is the puppeteer?

    Why are they protesting Wall Street when they should be protesting at The White House?

    Leftists are asskissing slaves to Big Papa Fed...as it is the only entity with the power to fulfill their redistributive social "justice" agenda....or, hand out the freebie's, as it were.

    It's so absolutely stupid. But hey, if I didn't have a job and could panhandle in the park across from Wall St. maybe I'd be doing it too.



    nah. I really like to bath daily.

    We will be. That was already scheduled for Mid October before this got any momentum.


    700 people got arrested yesterday on the Brooklyn Bridge. About 3000 are there right now.

    Probably because Wall Street is the one pulling the strings behind the White House?

    If so do you think Wall St cares about a handful of kooky college kids who will leave when they get bored?

    The demise of Wall Street would hurt unions as much if not more than anybody else. As usual, liberals don't have a clue what they're protesting.

    The demise of Wall Street would hurt immensely in the short run, but it would be far better for the world in the long run.

    LOL, that sounds a lot like a 'blue-eyed blonde society' theory to me.

    Won't happen.

    Quite the opposite actually... Financial primacy is shifting away from America and towards Asia.

    Republicans should learn to recognize fascism when they see it instead of consistently licking corporate boots, but, the protesters seem to be mostly big government lackeys, so their demands are incoherent, impossible, and simply wrong.

    Infowars occasionally nails it when it comes to liberty and the problems with politics in America. This is one of those occasions.

    most of these people probably go there to protest how the banks took everything they have ,only to go home to a $350,000 house and change out of their "street" clothes.If these people really wanted their wealth,they could be out making it instead of wasting their time holding signs for 2 weeks.
    (*)(*)(*)(*)ing idiots,I dont feel sorry for them.

    They don't have jobs. They don't want jobs. They are professional protestors and they are being funded by Soros backed groups.
