NEW YORK (Reuters) - Protesters who have camped out near Wall Street for two weeks marched on Friday on police headquarters in Manhattan over what they viewed as a heavy-handed police response to a previous demonstration.

The Occupy Wall Street movement, whose members have vowed to stay through the winter, are protesting issues including the 2008 bank bailouts, foreclosures and high unemployment.

More than 1,000 people marched past City Hall and arrived at a plaza outside police headquarters in the late afternoon. Some held banners criticizing police, while others chanted: "We are the 99 percent" and "The banks got bailed out, we got sold out."

Exclusive: Bill Ayers Talks About Election Night in Grant Park

From NBC Chicago, Jan 21, 2009:

Bill Ayers was "overflowing with happiness, relief, love" when he and his wife went to Grant Park with tens of thousands of Chicagoans to celebrate the election of President Barack Obama.

Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, spoke exclusively with NBC Chicago's Dick Johnson about why they joined the Election Night celebration in the park, where 40 years before they helped stage the Days of Rage riots.

The couple said they got last-minute tickets from a friend to be in Grant Park that night.

"I couldn't stop crying a couple of times. I found the exact spot where I was beaten 40 years ago," Ayers said. "But I've never been in a crowd that large that wasn't edged with either anger or drunkenness or gluttony, and it was really an extraordinary feeling."

"The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a salute and logo most often used by left-wing activists, such as: Marxists, anarchists, socialists, communists, pacifists, trade unionists, and black nationalists. The raised fist is usually regarded as an expression of solidarity, strength or defiance."

Anarcho-syndicalism

A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.

In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.

Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.

I was watching Bill O’Reilly last night. He did a segment where they interviewed some of the protestors. One guy they interviewed said that he quit his job so he could join the protest and demand that the government do something to give people jobs. Figure that one out!

[Drango]

Ewwwwwww. In photos and on TV, some of those chicks need to keep their arms down or take a razor to their armpits.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Have we conservatives become so propagandized that we only throw out cute little cliches?

Hear hear! How is the "The Constitution is not a suicide pact!", "911 changed everything!" crowd any different from the "Living Constitution" crowd on the left?

It's the same thing. We either have Constitutional freedoms or we don't.

We don't.

[equaviator]

...”these protestors started as being as spontaneous as the Tea party, but not even remotely as together as far as having a well thought out perspective.”...

Could it be because the Tea Party’s perspective has previously been thought out by the founding fathers of this great nation?

[Mygirlsmom]

No, having lived with months of tent dwelling, vuvuzela blowing, beret wearing protesters in Wisconsin, I am saying their tactics are idiotic. And I suspect most of them have little idea why they are even there.

[pepperdog]

I just don't understand this, do they have a permit to camp out on wall street? Is there such a thing as a permit to occupy a public area without sanitary facilities, i.e., where are they p&p-ing? I have seen pictures that indicate they are preparing food and sharing it...another sanitation issue. Why is this being allowed? Please, someone from NYC explain to me how this is allowed.

[edpc]

Are you in the northern part of the state? I’m in the Columbus area and I haven’t seen that.

[ETL]

these protestors started as being as spontaneous as the Tea Party

Are you kidding? This and the riots/protests going on in Europe have been long planned by the revolutionary communist left. And it's nothing new. These are the same SOBs that are behind the so-called "peace" movement. I put 'peace' in quotes because the organizers are not really for "peace". They are just opposed to American military actions, especially those that are successful in defeating their Marxist and Islamo-fascists allies. If they were really anti-war they wouldn't worship mass murderers like Mao, Castro and 'Che'.

[moovova]

All of the 9-11/DHS/terrorist $$$ NYC got, and the best the police can do is a few pepper-spray spritzs?

Where’s the tank they bought?

[Farmer Dean]

Northern Ashland county,the darn things are popping up all over the place here.

FTA:

The protest encampment in Zuccotti Park in downtown Manhattan is festooned with placards and anti-Wall Street slogans. There is a makeshift kitchen and library, and celebrities from filmmaker Michael Moore to actress Susan Sarandon have stopped by to show solidarity.

Hannity sent one of his reporters to the area to do a story. Surprise! The strongest smells were sweat and urine. Even though the protest and encampment are headquartered in a private park, NYC has to have public sanitation regualations that apply to public and private campgrounds. As usual, these filthy hippies are creating a menace to public health and sanitation by the way they're running their operation, especially if one contrasts it with the very clean way even the largest (>1,000,000 people in DC on 9/12/09) Tea Parties are run.

The NYC Sanitation Department ought to close the camp down as a menace to public health. Then the city should follow it up by prohibiting overnight camping in the Financial Distict, except on the premises of private homes and then only with adequate sanitation. I also suspect the makeshift kitchen doesn't comply with NYC sanitation regulations.

check out the machine printed signs- wonder if soros is bankrolling these d-bags as well...

btw- double post but again, check out the picture of the guy giving the peace sign to the cops and holding the sign- specifically check out his t-shirt, you'll have a good laugh... link: http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2011/09/30/2011-09-30_occupy_wall_street_protest_swelled_by_rock_band_dropin_hoax_wheres_radiohead.html

O’Reilly is so stupid and ignorant on most matters involving the left that he often does more harm than good. He misses opportunity after opportunity to effectively combat them. He THINKS he’s this ‘hard-hitting’ interrogator yet his many hardcore leftist guests come out smelling better than when they went in, Obama himself being the best example. ‘Black Liberation’ communist Marc Lamont Hill, another excellent example. MLH openly praises cop killer Mumia, the Black Panthers, Kalid ‘kill the (white) babies’ Mohammed, cop killer Joanne Chesimard (’Assata’), on and on. To my knowledge, a-hole O’Reilly never once confronted him on ANY of these things.

What if you had to put up with denim dress wearing moms with sun bonnets on their heads and bibles in their hands that were on the sidewalk ministering to women going in for abortions? What if you had to walk by these ladies ten times each day? Would you be tolerant of them? Do they have the Constitutional right to be there?

You still haven't explained to me what is so "idiotic" about peacefully protesting the international banks on Wall Street? Are you supportive of these banks that have made your existing debt harder to pay off by freezing credit?

Are you supportive of these international banks who have caused wages to fall through a decreasing money supply?

Are you supportive of these international banks who fund "minority" groups to flame regional tensions against their "majority" enemies (i.e. - Arab Spring)?

Are you supportive of these international banks who will fund both sides of the coming international war so that they can prosper from all of the assets they're currently collecting through debt defaults?

I'm talking about a war where everyone reading this will know somebody that has lost a loved one on the battlefield.

Maybe you need to read more history and gain an understanding of why our founding fathers wrote the Bill of Rights the way they did.

Maybe you need to read the Declaration of Independence and find out what signs to look for before the citizens have a RESPONSIBILITY to revolt.

Just some thoughts...

[Ladysforest]

Bloomy is looking the other way. If this were TEA party people, they’d have been snapped up before one tent peg was put into the ground.

Rain forecasted today, Monday and Tuesday - mid 60’s daytime, 50’s at night. Wet 50’s is NOT sleeping weather.

I’ll bet most of their “numbers” are people who show up during the day to hang out and eat the donated food. Those people go home at night, and the “camp” shrinks down to about forty people.

I don’t know anyone in the city anymore, or I’d send someone to check out my theory.

[Charles Martel]

Guess they believe global warming will ward off frostbite.

Hmm, a target-rich environment for the agua artillery!

It's a spontaneous protest. /s lol
