Truscifi Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 by protestors? https://occupywallst.org/ I found something in The Guardian (UK) and some internet news sites, but nothing from the mainstream newsmedia sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yes, there have been protestors sleeping outside DH's office for the past week or so. I'm not sure what good they imagine protesting the San Francisco branch office is going to do :confused: but they've been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelAR05 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 My mom has been posting about it all day on facebook but I have kind of ignored it. :tongue_smilie: Not much help in what it is about or if there is anything to it. But now you have me curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 I saw it on FB too and wanted to learn more about it. I just thought it odd that the only major news sources I could find on it were from The Guardian and alJazeera (sp?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwg Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Why are they there? Is that a dumb question:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 According to their website their goal is to use nonviolent protests and mass occupation to restore democracy in America. I think they are trying to get the politicians on both sides to start behaving reasonably and actually working to fix the mess we're in.

Mama Geek Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I heard about it before it was going to happen on at least one of the conservative talk radio shows, but I don't remember which one now. It is political and I am not going to get into it other than to say I disagree with what they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I saw it on FB too and wanted to learn more about it. I just thought it odd that the only major news sources I could find on it were from The Guardian and alJazeera (sp?). I've seen two quick blurbs on it on Good Morning America (I think, if it wasn't GMA it was another ABC news program), but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind looking at more info about it, I just can't find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Am I wrong about their goal? I wouldn't mind looking at more info about it, I just can't find any. From what I have heard their goal is to disrupt Wall Street and the stock market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I saw it on the news yesterday. It was on either FOX news or our local news I can't remember I watched both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamturner Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Fox News online posted an associated press article yesterday about it here: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/09/24/police-arrest-80-during-occupy-wall-street-protest/ The article states protesters are protesting the bank bailouts, the mortgage crisis, and the state of Georgia's recent execution.
