I don't know where you think these people are protesting but I can tell you there in PUBLIC PARKS! There are no businesses getting vandalizes. Take NY, zucotti park for instance did you know that wall street is actually closed during the day, you have to have a special badge that says you work on wall street to get in. All the bad press is to try and shut them up and you are helping. So far I have read on here that they are privileged, they stink,there worthless,and squatters.That may very well be but I can tell you that those people changed the conversation in this country from paying down the deficit, to jobs. As a truck driver I would think that you would support that considering that our lively hood depends on the middle class having money to buy stuff.did you forget you job description? Are we in an alternate universe? how can any of you put these people down when they are advocating for you.Its absurd! I'm so tired of these disparaging comments that people regurgitate from these talking heads in the media. don't you think that glen beck would cut his audio to fit his agenda? Start thinking for yourself! Listen to both sides and then make the decision for yourself.
well here is just one story and its from business owners but seeing it is from fox you may have a problem with it.Never mind the fact that its the owners saying the protesters are doing these things,Fox is just reporting it.
how can any of you put these people down when they are advocating for youLet me be very clear here they are advocating nothing for me.I do not think I have a right to happiness or a job,free collage degree,healthcare or to own my own home.More over I do not belive that someone else should have to help pay for some of those things.I dont belive that just because someone makes more then I do they should have to pay more to make things equal.
I guess those bank windows out in oakland broke themselfs right.Perhaps one of the biggest problems im having with them is that they say they are not tied to either party.Go on any of the websites the protesters have put up say anything good about republicans,Paul,Cain,Newt,perry or any of them you are called a troll and baned.Say anything bad about democrats or Obama and you are labed a troll and baned.Yet you can write anything you want about democrats as long as its good and you are told good point.
They love to say they stand for all of the 99% yet some of the 99% that have been hardest hit are the homeless.Yet everytime something bad is reported to have happend in a camp or at a protest they are real quick to blame it on the homeless. They also love to point out how the homeless are not part of their protest groups.Take atlanta,they get evicted from the park they are protesting in.Now these are protesters that are there by their own choice.So where do they go after getting kicked out of the park.To a homeless shelter.Really?Lets go take up space at a homeless shelter and take space that is needed to help people that have no where else to go even though we choice to be here.Those homeless people they make for a great photo op but they make even better scapegoats dont they???
A few people on here keep saying how the protesters want LIBERTY yet they want the government to have more controll over the things in life we all need to survive.How is being dependent more on the government LIBERTY? Thanks but no thanks.
Love how you write about the cafe that laid of 21 workers and blame it on the police putting up barricades and try and make it all out to be the police and bloombergs fault yet leave out what else the cafe owner blames.
frequent Occupy Wall Street marches, which he said have dampened the Financial District's formerly thriving street life.Yeah try and change the conversation to who owns the paper that reported it. Talk about pushing an agenda.
For myself I have listened to both side and I dont agree with what the protesters are saying.
I was afraid to say it was a private park because a select few would say that is made up.
Secondly, I don't know how this is a protest against "republicans"
They're both in their wasting money away.
They cant help but to try and call out republicans.Think about it.Most republicans want less government and belive it is up to us to make a life that is worth living.The protesters want more government and more things provided by the government to us.
Everyone seems to like to point out the different ideas and actions are from the fringe groups and should not be looked at as being what the protesters stand for.Yet there seem to be so many of these fringe groups if you take them out of the picture what you have left is not much at all.
