Claudio Lavanga reports on the Occupy Rome protests

[Francesko263]

Why do australian young people protest? Australia was one of the few country untouched by the crisis.

[CephalopodsRock]

@Francesko263 but it is still affected by what basically amounts to legal bribery running rampant in our political system, which is the main focus of the movement.

[VernacularZone]

there are policemen who are fair and who feel the same as you about corporate greed and social injustice, politicians who feel the same, businessmen who feel the same, but who are afraid to come out - they should

[Makiba08]

@VernacularZone I believe you

[VernacularZone]

Transport industry - people should board for free, get repairs for free; Health and pharmaceutical industry: people should get treatment and medication for free; Banking industry: people should withdraw all their money from bank accounts and use safe deposit boxes or alternative means of keeping their money safe and let bank moguls see what it's like to be without money; That is what is needed to happen. Street riots won't do much other then prompt governments to enforce more rigid laws.

[VernacularZone]

get a clue protesters - do not take to the streets because that does not hurt the wealthy or get the attention of the governments and Bilderbergs! What does hurt them is being unable to continue accumulating their wealth and strengthening their positions and to get there protesters need to continue to work but provide services and products for free. That way protesters continue to be productive and good workers and take justice in own hands by spreading the wealth where is needed - to people!

[HappyJackProduction1]

Fucking idiots, its the bankers, the Fed who is behind all the US and WORLD problems. Go after the bankers, they own the business's and the people, they own the govt's. These protests are going to cause more downfall, if you turn to the govt for help against the business's then you fall right into their trap, its what they want so they tax big business, which in turn will cost more to run the business, it will cause mass unemployment. ITS NOT A THEORY MORONS, ITS A PLAN, READ FOR ONCE !!!!

[Ansel1able]

I invite European and Americans to put up just leaders over their nations and join genuine partnership with the rest of the world in fraternity and equality to create a better world for us all.

[Martiniddelina]

it will be better if she pronounce his name properly. LA VA NA

[X3ENOF4GO]

MrAnymeansnecessary well thats the way that they use for everything . .realize it, they go put a bomb in your buss, it explode and kill you and then they fall in the scene to say Was This people From There, so they can make politics to made an invasion and all your brothers and sisters agreed with that cause media say Was THEM !! what you think they go to do with any march against them ??

Professional March Brokers go to appears every where, specially from Fascist Organizations. be aware...

[MrAnymeansnecessary]

@X3ENOF4GO LIKE

[MrAnymeansnecessary]

@michaelbass7 Why did people vote this as spam?! I voted you up, dude. Also, I make a connection between the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall st., one guy thinks I'm crazy to do so, nice to see that if I am, I'm not the only one to suffer from this brand of insanity. Peace.

[peechiepaul]

OCCUPY WITH VIOLENCE!!!!!!

[MrAnymeansnecessary]

@peechiepaul I'd crack your head open and drag you over to a cop, boy. Progress here cannot be made with violence...you want a nice example? How far have the Palestinians made it with rocks and molotov cocktails? We are no match for cops in riot gear with stun grenades and tear gas. Plus you pussies always run when the cops move forward.

[MrAnymeansnecessary]

Motherfuckers! We need a way to keep the troublemakers away from the Occupy demos. My knee-jerk intuition is that they are hired by gov'ts to start violence and give the cops the excuse they need to return violence.

[peechiepaul]

@MrAnymeansnecessary or why dont u use ur head...they use violence cuz they have been fuckin affected by violence their whole life stop being a pussy..hired by government to riot shut the fuck up

[1GTX1]

@MrAnymeansnecessary There are many anarchists in this protest, they are using their opportunity

[MrAnymeansnecessary]

@1GTX1 Not in America, so far. I have a friend who was in Times Square today for the celebration, aside from the Twisted Sister chants, there wasn't any confrontation any more intense than they have been up to this point. Slow and steady wins the race. Peace.

[2labem]

in my books the ppl who started the Action are Gov Agencies. who knows tho?

[LikableDesi]

Initiate Ghost Protocol...

[engineer14]

With winter coming , no govt will move. You should have done it in spring like Egypt and Tunisia.

[JewUnit6]

@engineer14 dont be a pussy get a coat u will be fine

[Kanjilearner]

Not nearly enough cities yet.  How long before this happens in financially strapped Athens, for example?

[marcos497]

berlusconi is ILLUMINATTI!!

[Quinzio]

Berlusconi vaffanculo !

[1988scottcarey]

Get rid of the consitution for the 1%

[erasmusso]

Don't be so sure that those "hooded militants" were really protestors, it is very likely they were sent there by the elite on purpose to make chaos between the pacific protestors and to demonize the whole movement.

[eirevrav]

You can hardly blame Al Jazeera for filling the gaping hole that US media created for US citizens by choosing to bow to those wanting to edit mass media coverage. All in all everyone is an opportunist but the news will still leak out and people can read between the lines. If anyone believes they can opt out of "impure" influence, look around you. We're all interconnected now. What you can do is strengthen your own resolve and make a good influence for others instead of hiding.

[amyntazoe]

THIS IS AWESOME!

[aussiedownunderman]

wtf are those pussys in Sydney protesting for? Austrailians don't have the same economic problems like USA or Itlay.... Unless you're aboriginal, you have no excuse why you cannot make something of yourself....!

[2dogarage]

@aussiedownunderman Don't you get it? This is a media event. A world-wide Burning Man whereby a bunch of confused and unmotivated people living under representative governments join together in a massive display of their own inability to wake up and think critically.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone with a starbucks in one hand and an iphone in the other.

[ydna2003]

@2dogarage sometimes the only way to get a point across to idiotic governments is to demonstrate. the computers are used to connect through social media and get the word out. get with the times.

[2dogarage]

@ydna2003 All this coming from a Britney Spears fan, RESPECT! :P

[ydna2003]

@2dogarage lmao. shes my guilty pleasure. dont judge me. ; )

[skog77]

What really pisses me off with the conspiracy nutters, is that there is enough bad shit going on in real life to worry about. How about getting educated and understanding the issues instead of just sitting at home in your underwear thinking the illuminati is coming to cornhole you??

[AllTheseWorldsAreUrs]

@skog77 What conspiracy are you talking about?

[Ansel1able]

Occupy the Vatican , justice for the raped children ,religion must answer for its role in the Empire Of Greed .

[AllTheseWorldsAreUrs]

@Ansel1able If only... Not in this universe :(

[panthera50]

Black smoke ?? do we have a pope ? ^^

[charlesfrith]

Quite a good summary.

[2dogarage]

I don't believe a word AJ says, I only watch to see what the liars are saying.

Hey, I have an idea, what if NATO decided to bomb the Coliseum? Maybe then the world would wake up to what is happening in their names in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

We now know Al Jazeera is bought and paid for just like Fox News, how can anyone watch this crap and believe they are reporting the truth?

[vxv07]

@2dogarage well do a favor for us and stop posting your crap .

[2dogarage]

@vxv07 Yes, we'd hate to have free speech mess up a corrupt media outlet's agenda wouldn't we?

[Violent2aShadow]

@2dogarage Dude, stop watching their videos and go back to your conspiracy theorist playlist. AlJazeera is for big boys and girls only.

[landlogger]

@Violent2aShadow  Proven to be zionist.

[2dogarage]

@Violent2aShadow Thanks to all you big boys and girls who enabled the murder of thousands of Libyans due to the propaganda of Al Jazeera.

[RussMaxable]

@Violent2aShadow It is also owned by the King of Qatar, you seen any word on them killing protesters lately???

[franks2732]

@2dogarage your an idiot

[2dogarage]

@franks2732 and you can't spell. Really, did everyone miss the story of Al Jazeera's corrupt agenda? It's not necessarily their fault but they could fight back by reporting on the way the powerful elite control the news.

And by the way, questioning the 4th estate is one of the ways we fight against tyranny, carrying a bunch of signs is a fool's errand.

[Shonenut213]

@2dogarage We all know you're just TROLLING. LOL Nice try, next time try to make it less obvious moron!

[2dogarage]

@Shonenut213 Actually obvious is what I'm aiming for. I don't troll per se but I do comment where I see fit and couldn't care less if others don't agree.

[toughatthan]

we're not children . we know authentic news when we see one, this is real news, not crap like fox news, cnn,bbc, and msnbc. @2dogarage

[2dogarage]

@toughatthan Troll alert. Joined 10/14/11, no friends, no videos, maybe try harder next time?

Al Jazeera is NATO's cheerleader and therefore deserves nothing but contempt for empowering the murderous invasion of the sovereign country of Libya under an illegal pretext.

I'll watch what I choose and say what I want. Any attempts to silence me are further proof that this is a free-speech-free zone.

Don't worry, few will notice.
