The Occupy Wall Street “Students and Workers United” protest in Union Square kicked off at 3PM and quickly swelled to a massive march that took to the street on Fifth Avenue, blocking traffic and forcing a huge police presence to gather.
Here is video I took at the scene:
Cars were stuck for blocks and others were swarmed by hundreds of protestors chanting “whose streets, our streets“ and ”we are the 99%.”
Union Square Student and Workers Day of Action
Police cars were racing to the scene from all directions, including several Emergency Services Units and yellow buses intended to transport large numbers of arrestees.
At least two police helicopters hovered over the intersection of 14th street and 5th avenue where the protestors were blocked off by barricades and police lined up shoulder-to-shoulder.
The Union Square march intended to meet up with other Occupier mobs downtown, which could involve some Occupiers clogging the subways.
Once downtown, they planned to march on the Brooklyn Bridge — the site of the Occupiers’ first mass-arrest.
Another showdown on the bridge appeared imminent.

Maybe someone should start on so that we can strip the votes from Obama.

Desecrating an ALTER? and on and on… they have shown us what a society without a leader we respect and with out GOD looks like. UGLY- isn’t it?

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 10:13pmThese Dirty Hippy Leftists must have been listening to (and probably singing too) that Commie song, “This Land is Your Land.” The idea is ridiculous.

Uuumm their streets? Really?…. They according to their own words dont have jobs thus dont pay taxes so its not their streets. The streets belong to the taxpayers of the city. Thats socialist marxist logic for you, ‘whats yours is mine because I say so’. They are so dumb they dont even realize the people they are screwing from blocking streets and bridges, businesses are the average Jon/Jane Doe aka TRUE 99%’r.
Occupy the longer you push your vile rhetoric and attack the WRONG people the less people will take you seriously. Sad some of the things these dopes argue we all can agree on, but of course when you go into the marxist, communist revolutionary fantasyland it ends there. They are all nothing bu trouble makers. Dont whine when you start to get clubbed over the head for blocking roads, bridges, businesses by the cops who tell you to leave or by some poor guy just trying to get to work who is living on a shoestring. Then again that is what you want occupy, you want the violence you want the chaos. Thats fine just remember the old saying watch what you wish for you might just get it…. Oh and YOU WILL LOSE if it goes ‘there’! http://SavingtheRepublic.com TAPGW

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 9:31pmCOULD SOME REPORTER ask the police: what is happening to these individuals being arrested? Are they just being left go? Can their punishment be to work on city garbage detail? Why can’t the city file paperwork on these sponsor organizers to pay for the over time, clean up and damage? They have money in some bank can that be confiscated for the damage?
