These are the things you must do to continue the occupation of Wall Street. The occupation has moved to the Brooklyn Bridge and beyond sine it's start on September 17th. However the protesters were stopped by some not so sympathetic police officers and hundreds of occupiers were arrested. It seems that in any case of uprising the more outrageous the police riot control tactics become the more momentum the uprising has gained. If that is true then Occupy Wall Street is going strong. It is a promising sight to see a gathering of more than a hundred people for an important cause other than legalizing marijuana, and I would say I'm all for the Occupy Wall Street movement. However I have no idea what they stand for, and neither do they from what I've read. I'm all for sticking it to the man and hating every "Joe big business" out there, but I wish the protesters would think of something to protest for already.
Justin Eliott writes an un-biased piece about the ongoing occupation of Wall Street. There is no intent other than letting the reader know what is going on in the world around them. He uses a picture of an arrest to grab the reader's attention. He uses a quote from the recently created newspaper "The Occupied Wall Street Journal." This article is for anyone that wants to learn more about the movement. There is no bias and the author does a great job of delivering the facts.
