Here's a few video clips for you to watch, from the last GA. These video's show the Diversity of the group, and how democracy, though messy, works when we work together. The volume is a little low, sorry about that, make sure you turn up your speakers.

To the next order of business, I keep seeing all these people saying that the Occupy Wall St Protesters quote" Need to get jobs".


To those who keep spewing this same rhetoric as the elite, There ARE NO JOBS! The few jobs that are out there are usually minimum wage and part time work. One of the motivations behind the protests is that the working wage for people is so low that you can't even live off of it. For the wealthiest Nation in the world, why do people have to work 7 days a week putting in 80 hrs a week just to make ends meet. I'll give you a great example. My Mother works for a company who asks their managers to put in a minimum of 50 hours a week. She is salary but only clears about $500 a week (her salary is around $700). She has her fair share of bills but still, barely gets by. She works, she supports Occupy, and even she sees that there is something wrong with what our government does and allows.

So you people can stop saying to go get jobs. Many out there DO have jobs. The protesters are the same people most of you see every day. They have kids, they have a family pet, they go to church, synagogue, temple, or grove. Which leads into the next thing I constantly hear " the protesters are parasites". This lack of empathy for those who are worse off than yourself is one of the reasons our country has homeless on the streets starving children, and injured or sick Vets who can't get the necessities they need. The only Parasites I see are those who lack empathy and think that what our government does is okay, when it clearly is not.

My next little rant is about the NYPD = Gang. These officers of the law are over stepping their boundaries. They don't have a good reputation to begin with, but if you haven't seen what these people have done, just watch these videos. THIS IS NOT OKAY!!!

1. NYPD Officer Planned on Beating Protesters ahead of March
2. NYPD Cop Punches Protester
3. NYPD Runs Over a Legal Observers Foot
4. Protesters Punished by NYPD
5. NYPD Pepper Sprays Protesters

Just think, there are only 5 links, but if you go to youtube and type in NYPD occupy wall street, there are THOUSANDS that show up. No person deserves pepper spray to the face, it can cause ulcers, blindness and can cause permanent damage to the sinus cavities as well. Pepper spray is not meant to be aimed at the face, it is designed to be aimed at the chest or stomach. Use it right or not at all.
