There are estimates of between 5,000 and 20,000 occupying wall street today, camps have been set up and intend to remain there for as long as the weather holds, possibly up until early december.

Also, thousands of Spanish are marching towards Brussels, the European equivalent of Wall Street, to show solidarity, similar marches have begun from Greece and Italy as well.

Media Blackout it is fairly effective.

nice gesture, but it will accomplish nothing. nobody associated with Wall Street or the Government gives a rats ass about the citizens, this isn't going magically change anything.

they need more footsoldiers to penetrate that massive wall. might as well grab some trebuchets.

They must construct additional pylons.

Well, Rhode Island is clearly represented. (green flag, middle left). It could be "Glade Island" too I suppose, but how does that make any sense?

ya that is definitely Glade Island right there.

Stupids.

Meh. Good for them, more people should protest more things. Most of us just complain and fall back into our complacent spoiled american lives.

5,000-20,000? someone's not very good with numbers.

with all those hipsters there, who will make our coffee at starbucks?

Protest with violence or fag.

Hope my stocks soar today.

I hope these fucks do something about my 401k...I wanna retire tomorrow

I just listened to Dystopia on Lastfm and feel as though I've done my part

Represent Glade Island. Smash the system.

Only penning and macing unresisting women is real.

oh wow. i see about 30 cops standing around where there are no crimes.

I hope something awful happens

It's fucked up. More than 80 people were arrested yesterday for protesting. That's more than the amount of people arrested that fucked the economy up in the first place. This should serve as an example of how fucked up our country is.

Also, you'd think the MSM would cover it because of its importance and significance.. but no. The main story on cnn.com is about someone swimming in the Caribbean. Who fucking cares???

"Dozens arrested in Wall Street protests" ...not a headline, but it's there

the protester arrests are out of line. they can't keep that shit up.

It is, but read it. Completely biased.
It should be the top news story.

i dunno, fwiw the aljazeera article isn't much different. i am surprised it's even on cnn, both may be biased, but both are also not exactly non-profit either, they need to post shit people will read. it's a circluar effect between bias and what sells.

its horrifying how the media claims to bring us news when they wont report on important events like this. not too long ago people were turning england into a bigger shithole via terraformation by fire. i was watching a british UFC stream on a saturday night when the person running it kept switching to the news before the fights had started. on the news was nothing but the riots. turn on the news here on sunday, trolled the main US news sites as well... no mention of them. the first time i heard about the rioting from any sort of media outlet, was on a tuesday or wednesday. people need to riot for days before it gets reported. a short article as well. its gross. i hate everything.

The pepper spray video is now appearing on the front page of nytimes.com.

This quote from the article is pretty gross:
---------------------------------------------------
The Police Department’s chief spokesman, Paul J. Browne, said the police had used the pepper spray “appropriately.”

“Pepper spray was used once,” he added, “after individuals confronted officers and tried to prevent them from deploying a mesh barrier — something that was edited out or otherwise not captured in the video.”
-----------------------------------------

I hope something terrible awful happens

#Occupywallstreet

somethings got ta give...

I wonder how all these pigs justify basically swinging at and pushing anyone who is within five feet of them

I thought we already established that the Major Media outlets are basically owned outright by corporate interests? That being said why would they report on events that could potentially lead to the dismantling of that current set up? There is no journalistic integrity anymore outside of comedy/parody news outlets like The Onion and Daily Show/Colbert who report anything remotely important in the form of satire.

Do a revolutionary puppet show about it
