The Occupy Wall Streeters are about to create chaos for 99 percent of the city.

In one of the largest demonstrations in recent city history, the anti-greed rabble plans to swarm the subways, take over the Brooklyn Bridge and shut down the stock exchange today.

It sounds like the height of the rally will occur at 3:00 p.m.. What's the matter with these losers? Can't they stumble out of bed before noon?

But they are non-violent.

It is the mythical one-percenters who are the violent ones.

HA! Was just watching CNBC (or whatever the hell they call themselves) and they were nearly complaining that only 400 or so showed up...

I take issue with this part of the description “the anti-greed rabble”——

I think it should read “the GREEDY, anti-success rabble...at the very least (and I’m being nice)

“Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes....we’ve got work to do” They are just following orders.

Wasn’t this supposed to start at 7AM?

Did they forgot to tell their moms to come into the basement and wake them up at 6AM?

I think better they schedule it for after 12 noon (for when they finally wake up and get out of bed)

Cool links. Looks like more cops than protestors so far.

Hitting them with drones would be poetic justice. Sweets for the sweet, and all that.

Truly they are Obama's Army. He is their CIC and is calling the shots...even from Australia and Indonesia, (His Winter White House?).

Obambi's " in your face " minions

Aren't working people part of the 99%?

Unless the protestors today represent the elite OWS dorks who lived seperately from people who they considered the lower class in Zuccoti Park.

Really. This is supposed to be their Big Event and it looks like they’ve only got about 400 people so far. What a bunch of losers.

NYSE closes at 4. At that time, even if they are successful, they won't be very successful.

For many Occupiers, the movement is an opportunity to build street cred, so a future employer with similar privately held views will maybe give them the benefit of the doubt and hire them. May I just recommend to such people: get some real skills also.

*The more enemies they make, the better*

Don’t worry about it Democrats. Clogging up the subways will not anger any of the middle-of-the-roaders that you might have persuaded to come over to your side of the aisle in 2012.

The mild-mannered people of New York won’t mind one bit.
