Occupy Wall Street

[Riot]

Here's a new "Occupy" site for aggregating all news.

OWS has over $400,000 in their bank account now, from donations. They purchase food daily, provide free medical care, and computer services, sleeping bags & blankets, and have websites. They hold daily general meetings. Have multiple committees working on items of interest to them. Also have downtown storage locker filled with donations.

Night before last, Occupy New York had to defend their medical tent (free health care for all Occupy residents in NY) in the middle of the night, from the police who showed up to try and take it down without warning.

Guess who happened to be there and stand in the way of the cops, joining arms with the protesters? (btw the cops went away and left the tent for now)

Looks like Geraldo Rivera (twice) and Jon Stossel (once), both of GOP-TV Faux News, tried to go to Occupy Wall Street to interview protesters, but all three times they were hounded from the premises with chants of "Fox Lies!". Video all over the internet.

It's amazing how the mainstream media is completely not covering this story, but how much news is going on at Occupy locations nationwide (hundreds of locations) and internationally, that is being covered on YouTube, blogs, Twitter, Facebook,
etc.

And one of the coolest things was Saturday night in New York, in Times Square, that made the national news: a US Marine standing off against 25 riot police, talking them down for advancing upon peaceful protesters. The cops backed down (the cops had rammed motorcycles over barriers into crowds on the sidewalk, and pushed several horses into the crowd hurting peaceful demonstrators)
