Wall street occupiers equal Democrats! Say it loud and often.
The population of greater New York is 17- 18 million? 8.5 in Manhattan alone? — Occupied Wall Street marches have had what? 5-7 thousand, artificially bolstered by unions and some tourists enjoying the action , maybe at Times Square 10 –20 thousand if you want to go with the highest numbers reported.
So who is the 1%? These protestors are are less than 1% of the New York population. Camping out in Zucotti park are a few hundred. More people go to a game at Yankee Stadium, the Little Italy Fairs, or walk through Central Park on weekend than this movement.
We used to live in Battery Park, but moved out of state, I still commute in for work. Lower Manhattan is a very residential neighborhood, with small businesses and street food vendors, some of the hardest working best people in NYC and this has to be tough for them.. I’m going to vow to support my local food cart vendors
The 1% has taken over the entire neighborhood. The 99% are held hostage. NYPD is doing a great job, but how long can they hold out with his everyday provocation,and how many every day average folks will be caught up in this.. I am very scared to go into NY for work on Monday, especially if they decide to Occupy the Subways, which their web site talks about - it will be dangerous in mob conditions. Please say a prayer.
