Occupy Wall Street National Day of Action: Live Updates From Downtown Manhattan
Village Voice ^ | 11/17/11 | Steven Thrasher

Posted on 11/17/2011 3:07:10 AM PST by M. Thatcher

Today is November 17, the two month anniversary since Occupy Wall Street began. Protestors have declared today to be an International Day of Action, calling for people to "occupy their block," to "shut down Wall Street" starting at 7:00 AM, and to "occupy the subway" starting at 3:00 PM. We have been hearing that protestors, and the NYPD, will be amassing all over the city today, and will be live blogging dispatches from our own Village Voice staff writers Rosie Gray (@_rosiegray) and Nick Pinto (@macfathom), as well as photographer C.S. Muncy (@CSMuncyPhoto), who are on the scene through out lower Manhattan.

The live stream is hilarious. These fools actually think they’re leading a “revolution.” Shame on that pathetic excuse of a mayor for letting this happen.

If these troublemakers dirsupt the “Thanksgiving Day Macy’s Parade” the angry backlash from Americans will be BIG.

I think you may be wrong. While these are, for the most part, punk kids, Banks and Govt ripping off people from middle class to multi millionaires is getting to be tiresome. I am hoping that govt and the banking industry will straighten up before true middle class gets involved.

Your opinion to begin with.

The truth is that, socialism IS A FAILURE from the start. Also this is a center-right nation, to correct you.

When these morons are arrested, they should run their names through the system to see if they are receiving ANY government assistance.

If they are, discontinue their payments and the payments to mom and dad if they live with them.

That should get rid of at least fifty percent of these freeloaders.
