The Force Is With #OccupyLA

by Blogbot

The #OWS Jedi returned to DTLA for the third weekend running, and the force was with @OccupyLA with an estimated turnout of 3 to 5K for today's Global Revolution Day march through the city's financial district.



Added benefits to this protesting business: Marching is pretty much the same as hiking, but with more signs + you can walk the dog.



Another four-legged protester. If corporations can claim citizenship, dogs can too! #JustSaying



Protesting is thirsty work though.



The LAPD continues to be lovely...#Shame the same can't be said for the NYPD. In New York today they arrested a group of Citi Bank customers -- for trying to close their accounts -- for realz! Later, 74 protesters were arrested in Times Square. Meanwhile in Denver, riot police broke things up again, and in Chicago they're trying to evict protesters.



In NYC police have also been detaining protesters for violating an obscure law dating back to 1845 which was intended to stop tenant farmers from covering their faces during a peasant uprising (well I guess #OWS really is one of those!). Meanwhile, in London, Julian Assange was asked to remove his mask by police there. Things are going to get really confusing come Halloween. #JustSaying



Fortunately, in LA, protesting is a family affair.



Lovely weather for it too!



Imagine what the world would be like if the rich and corporations paid their fair share.



To clarify: What part of shared sacrifice don't you get?



Contrary to what the 1% owned mainstream media would have you believe, we are not rebels without a cause.



The 99 percent are fighting for <3, =ity, & abundance 4 all. I think you should join us!



Because this junior 99 percenter would like a future worth looking forward to.



Dear 1%, Are you getting it yet?

I hate when people include their kids in political rallies. Whether it be this, or a right to lifers. It just seems wrong having children waving signs.

Yup, incredibly stupid. Bringing them is one thing, but shoving signs in their hands is dumb.

Chicago will let you protest just don't be in the parks after 11pm as they are "closed".

Last months critical mass went through occupy Chicago I had no idea what was going on, it was funny to see the cops as 3000 bikes rode by and stopped.

Close your accounts, or keep $1 in it and just cash your paychecks or switch to a credit union.

BofA and others will charge you to cash your paycheck even when it's drawn from their bank.

Have you not been following the issues at the core of this movement?

I highly doubt the creators of SG are millionaires. Considering the site has been losing money due to the economy and memberships being down because of that, it's hard to think people are "supporting the 1%" for being a member here.... confused

Hugh Heffner is probably a 1%er. Missy or Sean... highly unlikely.
