  • If you make peaceful revolution impossible, then you make violent revolution inevitable- JFK

  • 100%

    

  • spilled onto the street? i think not they were led onto the street by the police. There are videos showing the police leading the protesters onto the street and across the bridge.

  • Why are they covering their faces? lol

  • maybe they could pay their bills if they left the park and got a job

  • I hope this keeps up.

  • nothing better than watching a bunch of dumb ass college kids getting arrested for their belief of the week, remember back when the cops wouldn't read them their rights and just give them a good crack up side the head with a night stick? ah the good old days

  • @567WORMBOY123 remembering your old days at school when everybody hit you because you were an stupid? Don´t pay your frustrating past with these people. They are not guilty for your wrath...

  • @Maryjoends remember when north America was filled with people who could speak English and not boatloads of foreigners? nice try though, maybe a few more years in school you might be smart enough to carry on a conversation.

  • @567WORMBOY123 still beaten by life? I can speak English, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish... and I´m Spanish. No problems with languages, no problems with people. Remember that your country was built by Europeans and Africans, foreigners as you say... gente como tú y como yo, can you carry on mine? 

  • @Maryjoends sorry my friend i don't speak monkey talk, i speak the only language worth speaking, and when European settlers came to my country all that was here were trees and Indians, we got rid of both for progress, if we hadn't, Indians would still be running around in loin cloths throwing stone tipped spears at deer. they had no desire to become anything more than neanderthals so we took it and made it into something.

  • @Maryjoends and if you don't like my point of view, if it offends you in some way, I am sorry but deal with it, I can accept you probably aren't to impressed with me, but I have the freedom of speech and to hold any beliefs I want. and I was originally commenting because whenever these protestors come out to protest the economy, taxes, whatever, they end of getting arrested, looting, destroying private property and leaving the country worse off than they found it. and it's usually college kids.

  • @567WORMBOY123 well, thanks for sharing your point of view with me but the fear of laws cannot let people stay without doing anything... Remember that laws are made by men, and can be modified... remember that the "good old days" (as you say) of cracking up heads have gone away forever. Rights and violence are not compatible.

  • I was there but in the middle I didn't hear the warning. We were on a road way. We shoulda did laps around broadway into manhatten. Whose to hear us on the bridge. Got some media attention though

  • ...these obamanoids are out of hand. ...pathetic !!

  • Phase 1..

  • The American left on full display...

  • @imax1971 Is it a crime to be left winged in America, is it something wrong? You accuse them as if it were an insult... very strange people you are.

  • ok, but what exactly are they protesting?... traffic laws?

  • right now there is also a campaign 'eu people vs banks' by Avaaz ..

  • SO I GUESS HUMANITY IS TAKING ONE STEP BACKWARDS TO DE-EVOLUTION.....BY ARRESTING PEACEFUL PROTESTERS WHO WANT THEIR VOICES TO BE HEARD.

    and bagel eating pigs are just "doing their jobs" by beating the shit out of people for no reason....

  • @theinfamousmrsleep What they were doing was illegal. !) People cannot just decide to shut down a roadway because they "want to be heard". It a public safety issue... 2) The cops didn't "beat the shit" out of anyone...

    What device did you use to make your comment? PC, ipad, Blackberry? Take a look at the name brand of your device... Oh, you own a device made by an evil, greedy corporation! Who's your internet provider? Oh and evil, greedy corporation!!! Wanna protest? Don't buy their products.

  • @imax1971

    what the fuck does buying an ipad or a blackberry have to do with these wall st. protests?

    jesus fuck...are you a fucking ignorant cunt

  • @theinfamousmrsleep They are protesting CORPORATE GREED. The companies I sited are publicly listed on the stock exchange.. (ie wall street).. The best way to protest against them would be not buying their products.. They aren't doing that, are they? The fact is these people have no idea what they are protesting against. I'm ignorant? No, I am looking at facts... Next question?

  • @imax1971 Well said but the purpose of a protest is sending a message out with a mass of people: that's how your views get heard. Simply "not buying" a product is a choice, not a protest.

  • Good to see our people getting pissed off and doing something about it!!! They have all the money, but we have the numbers!!! Members of congress, you might want to pay attention to this and stop playing games with our future! Wake up or else..............

  • Americans will prove their conviction when the killing starts by authorities. Most Arab revolts started with a few weeks of marches.

  • Similar protests in 4 cities? Oh boy, here comes the state sponsored "revolution" that will end with Americans in FEMA camps.

    Right this way lemmings. . .

  • I don't understand the point of protesting it never works, yeah the government is doing things that they shouldn't be doing but they don't give a fuck about protesters they will just get arrested and nothing changed.

  • Obama will pay their mortgage!!Whats the problem??

  • About time America wakes up...

  • this is just the start of the fall of the US

  • LOL Obama add on the right >> the funny thing is all these assholes probably voted for him .. March your ass's to the white House N get 'r done !

  • I agree with them .. But ! .

    I wonder how many ambulance's were blocked from saving lives ..

  • We need Ron Paul!!! I have never voted but im going to vote for him

  • The police let them on the bridge then arrested them for being on the bridge

  • I'm going to join the protest because other people make more money than me and I am extremely jealous.

  • WE need this in every one city !!! WE need freedom and REAL Democracy !

  • и это американская свобода?... и американская мечта?...

  • Get the FUCK out of the road.

  • @wReCktangle

    ^GTFO from this video rich asshole,you will poor soon!

  • @CrystalCastles2o11 And I quote... "you will poor soon"... guess we know why YOU are "poor", fucking retard... even though you're sitting on the mother fucking Internet, on a computer, with electricity and an internet connection. (obviously)

    Yeah, you're real fucking "poor".... go suck a dick.

  • @wReCktangle

    Mother's internet?...haha...did you know about Free WiFi and free electric acess in Coffe-Bar?

    this is your brain is really "poor"!

    ppl like you whant more and MORE money....ppl like you destroy families-life other ppl....you destroy work-places for make MORE money for yourself.

    GREED will destroy you soon.

  • @CrystalCastles2o11 Oh I see, so you're just a fucking free loader then. Go suck dick.

    Russia fucking sucks.

  • All americans should join.

  • YES... FINALLY WE WAKING UP

  • These are spoiled preppies on school break. Once they get back to school that mom and dad paid for, they'll shut their fricking mouths. 

  • Guess its illegal to protest in America now.

  • @wipemysmile - In most states without a permit yes it is illegal to protest.

  • @BusterBayVideos Oh so now we need a permit to exercise our rights? What a fuckin joke. Anyone who thinks this is a free country is just a stupid slave.

  • @wipemysmile - Didn't say I agree, just quoting the law. I admit this country is not perfect but it’s far better than any other place in the world. If you lived in China after posting your comment you would most likely be in prison.

  • @BusterBayVideos I have a feeling it will be that here soon.

  • @wipemysmile - Sure hope not. 

  • @wipemysmile Wimpy liberal fruitcake

  • We will not be ignored any longer! Occupy! Occupy! Occupy!

  • Americans getting arrested for their rights ...

    That is Patriotism ... the Police are basically under-educated idiots who don't realize the protesters (Americans) are fighting for their pensions as well ...

    WALL STREET is the DEVIL.

    

  • Yanks are too lazy to keep this up and will lie down and take it like good little morons.

  • This is what "the man" wants you to do, so they can come in and slaughter you fools. Don't believe the hype.

  • This country is fuck up and be on. there's nothing but to protest.

  • 700 protestors arrested. It's more like Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 or Jasmine Revolution, Tunisian college graduate unemployment revolution.

    This news has been censor in CNN. Did you not know?!?!

  • We, the PEOPLE, are guaranteed the right to peaceful assembly by our US Constitution's first ammendment (it's called "FREE SPEECH"). AP might THINK they work for JP Morgan Chase (who THINK they BOUGHT the NYPD also!) but guess who's next after these 700? AP, cover it now, or be shut down later!

  • We know!

  • 46 million Americans in poverty.

    Tax-cuts for the wealthy 2%.

    10% + unemployment rate.

    11 + year wars.

  • Wisdom of Gordon Gecko.

  • the ppl is hungry mister Obama

  • @barbelotta

    "mister" Obama is owned by the same thuggish elites who caused economic meltdown.

    /watch?v=GEzOgpMWnVs

  • @barbelotta Yeah, about that CHANGE Obama promised....The people are here to collect.

  • Typical teens, thinking only about themselves. Who's greedy?

  • @TrickyGap thumbs down =P

  • Power to the people!

  • all stand up together!!

  • HECK YA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "Can we take it to the bridge - yeah!, BROOKLYN BRIDGE..."

  • Wall Street.

    Tear that Wall down!

    The wall of deception, secrecy & fraud!

  • @iknewitalready nice; "Reagan SmAsH!!!"--but no honestly, Mister Reagan would have brought that wall down too

  • @MrIceBrick

    Reaganomics sucked wealth up, did not trickle it down.

    /watch?v=ZBZdpYdEmgY

  • @iknewitalready yeah atleast he did something tho--not just promise and claim change when the only change he has brought us is a whirlpool of disaster; Obama care is a joke, he had the highest mortality rate with our troops overseas, and our unemployment is at an all time high, and somehow Dem. believe that spending money--WE DO NOT HAVE--will lower our debt; and honestly i was just making a Reagan joke lol but you had to take it all serious, and idk why

  • @MrIceBrick

    The two party paradigm in America has proven itself to be dysfunctional & dictatorial in nature.

    Neither Democrats nor Republicans work for the best interests of American people.

    Politicians in both parties work for their owners at corporations, who finance their election campaigns.

    Incentives to outsource jobs overseas; hence high unemployment in America.

  • Ah, the poor BottomClass American FALL is upon Wall Street! The Bush&Dick Republican TeaBagging Bonerheads will not punish their Wall Street Bosses that run the "Too Big To Fail" criminal BigBanks&BigBusinesses. Obama can't make the Bush&Dick Republicans tax the lying thieving BigRich, so it's left to the poor BottomClass Americans to make it clear that it's the BigRich Bush&Dick Republican Wall Street Crooks that won't create JOBS and continue to steal from the poor BottomClass Americans. FALL!

  • OCCUPY THE WORLD UNTIL THEY HEAR YOU.

  • OCCUPY WALL-STREET. THE BASTARDS

  • Corporate socialism at play.

    Cruel capitalism for the working poor.

    Elections funded & rigged by corporations.

  • A travesty.

  • It's not Wall Street.

    it is the WAR Street.

  • I watched this live on ustream 24 hours ago, Where were the Press then ?

  • NICE!

  • If you don't make noise you won't have change, keep it up you are my heros.

  • That's more arrests than Toronto's G8 and G20 protests.

  • the revolution has started...

  • so ameicans get problems too? i thought is only the third world & damned nations get problem.

    or is it hollywood movie footage!

  • finally, some fucking coverage...jesus I thought major outlets wouldn't ever be seen

  • good. fucking trouble making hipster cunts. get a job.

  • @enuvune Yes, everyone should step into line and know who their goddamn maters are on Wall St. Good thing not everyone in this country is a tool like you.

  • @jwhyte67 firstly, i'm not in your shithole country. second, people falling into line and becoming part of a greater mechanism is how society works. hence why criminals are in jail for "rebelling" against the law and not "falling into line" with the norm.

  • @enuvune God damn right, those maggots should know their place and step the fuck into line to keep the system going or be carted off!! What with them thinking their opinion matters and all, they better take their shafting by system and like it OH WAIT that sounds a little like fascism. I would make the argument that "rebelling" against money swaying our politics and corporations getting into bed with gov isnt the same as rebelling against society. God forbid people exercise their rights.

  • @jwhyte67 having laws is not fascism. breaking the law is not "exercising their rights". you can have an opinion so long as you don't force it upon others, which infringes their rights. ie, terrorists.

  • And this is only the beginning of a global revolution.

  • sorry there

  • wall streets along with goldman-sachs are traitors to the people of the united states and when all these policemen loose their pensions i wonder what they will say! dumb asses

  • Holy Crap 700 ppl !

    Wow Brooklynites are on a roll...farther than Occupy wallstreet!

  • did they use school buses from madison to get the clowns their ?

  • Brooklyn Bridge will go into the history books as the Woodstock of 2011

  • They don't even know why they are there.

  • @imbubba56 - I agree.

  • Thats a lot of handcuffs.

  • @divad838 At least cuffs of plastic, that is. I hope they are recycled.

  • @divad838 - Makes me feel warm and fuzzy that I recycle.

  • I guess anarchy is the answer to everything. It’s worked well for Europe & the Middle East.

  • The protesters say they were forced onto the bridge, AP = disinformation

  • Imagine, if Egypt revolution would be happening here, they would just arrest everybody. 1 million arrests ? that sounds good for the US prison industrial complex. How's that for a democracy?

  • Everybody loves a riot. It involves no mental exertion. CATHOLIC STATE for the future!!

  • Why the Brooklyn bridge, If your gonna block traffic somewhere do it on wall-street

  • @Obasiliasfilosofos

    Blocking the bridge wasn't planned. At first, the protesters used the sidewalks but spilled out on the street.

  • HAHAHAHAHA

    these fools managed to shut down one lane of traffic

    made someone five minutes late for work i bet

  • Exactly Jog...

    There is NO one doin the perp walk from bank buildings on Wallstreet..

    Its blatantly obvious AND you do not need to be 120,000 dollars in debt to see it..

  • This is the reason we need 4 more years because the GOP is going to help the rich get more money while we get F****ck up.

    I'm not voting for Obama I'm just voting against Corporate greed.

  • FUCK CORPORATE GREEDY FUCKS!!

  • They did not arrest the muslims that shut down traffic for hours so they could pray did they? Why did they arrest these kids?

    Cops live somewhere

  • @AvatarOfAvatar - I guess the few out way the needs of the many.

  • Americans are the least free people on the planet, and they only have themselves to blame.

  • Funny we didn't see this when Bush was in office. Didn't expect chaos when Obama said change...

  • @BusterBayVideos

    Oh, fuck off and go suck the dicks of Bush's corporate friends. 

  • @AnonRanGER01 - What has Obama given you ?? Higher unemployment. Yeah that was a good change, it may not have been great before but atleast we were working

  • @BusterBayVideos

    Not easy to clean up Bush's mess. I'm not a fan of Obama, but morons saying "we didn't see this when Bush was in office" are just retarded. And yes, I'm talking about YOU. You know what we DID see when Bush was in office? Planes crashing into buildings, Freedom taken away from the American people, unjustified wars, economic collapse and his fat rich corporate friends getting richer while the people got fucked.

    I'll take these protests over that, thank you very much.

  • @AnonRanGER01 -I think if you step back and think about it you can trace all of this back to the Clinton Administration. In no way was I a Bush fan in fact I voted for Obama. He promised change, I for one don’t see anything good that has come from this administration unless you like unemployment.

    Sure tax the business, then they lay you off to cut cost. Get rid of all the entitlements and cut off the teats to the chronic non workers and America will start working again.

  • @BusterBayVideos

    I don't think that matters, because bankers have ALWAYS fucked the people, regardless of who was in charge - and that's what the protests are about. The 99% vs the 1%.

  • @AnonRanGER01 - Typical toss out the truth and keep only small sound bites then blow them out of proportion.

    The one thing I find amusing about you is when you get backed in to a corner you swear that really helps get a point across.

    You complain about the banks, tell me when was the last time you signed up for a loan at gun point ?

  • @BusterBayVideos

    I swear all the fucking time, silly. How do you think you "backed me into a corner" anyway?

    Also, thanks for showing your ignorance of the matter by thinking this is about shit like "loans at gunpoint". When YOUR tax money bailed out the banks, were you held at gunpoint?

    Do you even know what the protests are about or did you just see an opportunity to bitch about Obama?

  • @AnonRanGER01 - Kind of funny you complain about the banks and defend Obama in the same breath. Who forced the banks to take the money ? A: Obama .

    Who put the economy into a tail spin ? Greedy people living beyond their means. The only winner here is China.

  • @BusterBayVideos

    When did I defend Obama? And Obama FORCED the banks to take the money?

    Okay, Buster, it's painfully obvious you have no idea what you are talking about. Get informed, then come back.

  • @AnonRanGER01 - The banks had no choice, they had to take the money it was a Government mandate. The only companies that wanted the money were GM & Chrysler.

  • @BusterBayVideos

    Yeah, the banks really did all they could not to accept the bail-out money. They were outraged. It's all coming back to me now. You could really see the disappointment in their faces when they partied on after everyone got their bonuses.

    I'm not sure if you're trolling or just really, really stupid.

  • @AnonRanGER01 - It’s just another example of the Government messing things up. Did the banks need the money? No.

    The people need to be put back to work. Obama promised he would create civil service work like the 30’s. All he has done is made it not appealing to work. You can make more money sitting at home than working. Until this is fixed we will never move forward.As far as trolling no, just giving my opinion. However having an opinion has offended you.

  • @BusterBayVideos

    The banks gambled away YOUR money, were then bailed out with YOUR money and quickly gave bonuses around and continued to party with YOUR money. THEY are doing splendidly while most people are FUCKED.

    Having an opinion doesn't offend me.

    I agree that the protesters should be just about as mad at the government as they are about the banks, though, but I see the protests primarily as a sign that people have had ENOUGH. And with that, I wholeheartedly agree.

  • @AnonRanGER01 - See we agree on many things. Yes we have all had enough. Should the banks be looked at for the mishandling of the funds yes. Will that happen doubt it their CEO's help run the country. I feel sorry for our children and our children's children. We have left them a huge mess, and I do mean WE all of us contributed to this in some way. Good Debate Thanks

  • @BusterBayVideos

    Agreed. Thanks.

    

  • Comment removed

  • when the governments and corporations care more about money than people then this happens and will keep happening till we kill them or run them off.

  • Fucking riots and protests everywhere

  • @imatelly i was referring more to the protest than the arrest in general i understand that you can't just block traffic however that's distracting from the main focus here which is the protest and why it's happening

  • 1776 -- The 2011 version in the making

  • As long as we have BIG Goverment we will have BIG Business

  • Liberal Manhattan lol

  • Parents against banksters!

  • oh it said they were in the middle of the street holding up traffic,anyone of you go stand on a well used road and see how long your standing there befor  your arested.

    these people that force a cop to arest them and yell this is a peacfull march look like fools,unless your a sheeple

  • and so it begins

  • @lilice1907 it said the people on the walkway were not arested,but the people holding up cars that could not pass,cause they were standing in the streat were arested,so do you honestly believe that you can go stand on a well used inersection and not be arested?

    how about this would you want someone arested if your driveing and he is standing in the road?

  • @imatelly This is not a normal occurrence .. These people are protesting for the American people and the truth about corporate greed ruining America So traffic is held up for a while BIG DEAL!
