Troy Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 Here is a link to more photos shot earlier today: http://aalbc.it/occupywallstphotos It is difficult for me to understand why some people would take issue with the protestors?
Cynique Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Could be that voting for Obama was a demonstration for change that didn't pan out. So people who scoff at the Wall Stret protesters have lost confidence in demonstrations as a way to bring about change.
Troy Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 Cynique I think you've hit the nail on the head or at least touched on a major aspect of the issue. For the last 10 years I used to wonder way more people are not in the street -- what would it take? I now know; main stream America is now feeling the pain. it s not just Black folks, losing homes, out of work and unemployable and unable to pay for a decent education for their kids. We do know the ultra wealthy control all aspects of the country, to the detriment of the majority of us (the 99% if you will). They will not yield control easily. There is a long fight ahead and it will be hard, but it has to start somewhere. Perhaps this is a beginning...
Troy Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Posted October 14, 2011 It looks like Michael "buy your way into a 3rd term" Bloomberg will have his hands full on trying to squelch the unrest in lower Manhattan. Will he sick the dogs on the protestors, or turn on the fire hoses? I'm sure he would like to just open fire...
