What a great video. This is how people begin documenting movements for the future. Families and young people peacefully marching for what they believe in. This is history. And remember that non-violent movements are a marathon and not sprint. Great work Eddie!
Hey protesters! I work on merchant vessels docked at the Port of Oakland and I can barley afford my rent! You people are NOT helping the working man AT ALL! I need all the work I can get! Thanks for making me unable to make my usually salary!!!

What a bunch of hippies! They will always be the victims and cause no change, except for vandalizing property that hardworking Americans have worked to maintain. Bring on the tear gas and rubber bullets!
@ekai .... That was not my intent ekai. I am simply stating that destroying property is extremely counterproductive. I do not argue with the fact that there are plenty of things that need to be fixed in order to give the average American a fair shake. Busting windows and spray painting is not the answer. Watching the demonstrations looks like a circus show. If there was more organization with common sense people, this wouldnt look so pathetic. Thoughts from the Troll Provocateur:)
@bradleypbruce Hey, I totally agree with you on the property destruction. No argument from me there. But to paint the thousands of families that marched peacefully with the brush of a few misguided black bloc youth hell bent on destruction means you're not paying attention. I do think those in the Occupy movement need to address this, and from what I'm hearing, they are. Maybe we'll see a security working group come out of it with people willing to intercede at events when destruction happens.

Violence will not bring about change. This was a general strike, a general strike is a way to show the economic strength the people have when united.
@bradleypbruce you are mis-informed. Why don't you look up Marine at Occupy Wallstreet. See What me and my brothers fought for and then to come back to America and see what cops are doing for its people; it's outright dishonorable. They are charged to protect the people; NOT banks and corporations.
Wow. In America we treat a protest likes its a damn party. How far do you think the Revolutionary war would of gotten if all they did was play music and dance?
@ekai Exactly. I am not claiming they are the same thing at all. Did you even bother to read my post? I am claiming they are the opposite of each other. Thank you for making my point though. The Revolutionary war brought about actual change. Since people are acting like this is a party it will bring about nothing. Do you think the government is afraid of a marching band? You have got to be kidding me.
