Watch the #OccupyWallStreet protests on the Brooklyn Bridge live. According to Evan Fleischer, the arrest count is 24 and probably going to increase.
Follow tweeters like Evan Fleischer (who also is curating on Tumblr), Ryan Devereaux, Allison Kilkenny, Brian Stelter, and Adbusters.
The protests are fascinating because of the focus on naming the people getting arrested. “WHAT’S YOUR NAME!?!?” All of these protesters know they’re on camera. All of these protesters know that keeping information as open as possible is the best possible thing they can do for their cause. A child just got arrested, BTW.
I think it’s time to come out, at least broadly, in support of the Wall Street Protests. The inequality between those involved in the financial industry and well, everyone else, in pretty much bewildering (just how did it end up like this?) and essentially unfair. In addition, the way the protesters have been treated in many circumstances (I’m sure everyone has seen the videos of the macing and seemingly unlawful arrests) only leads to further sympathy.
These people are protesting the fact their fortunes rely too much on an industry that celebrates and encourages personal excess above social responsibility and that is something I expect most of us can get behind (about 99%).
