Occupy Cleveland demonstrating on Public Square

[ryanlifts100]

@hotranbraski Yeah they do have a sense of entitlement, but learn how the federal reserve works and how corrupt our banker bought government is and you will be mad too

[hotranbraski]

these people are annoying, if you don't like your situation get a job or go to college change your life. Nobody said life was easy and we are so lucky to have the things that we have when compared to our ancestors. Since when is it others responsibility to make sure you make more than $40,000 a year or have money to buy stuff. You guys wanna support local businesses yet you are blocking the local business around you.

[undogod]

despite the real need to fix things, i cant stomach these losers. it appears all the dips of cleve have come together here, especially the no-talent "musicians" ( i know such pretenders well, the worst of individuals, the vainest laziest pissheads) who are so desperate for attention they come here to play their boring crap. by extrapolation, if the protesters are as no good at working as these musicians are no good at playing then we understand why they dont have jobs, despite the jobs crisis

[ZX2ManDave]

Less than a month later and their rallies gather crowds of 10-20.

The absolute truth is the interdependence of life, the entanglement of all and everything in the language of quantum physics. Capitalism is the historic process of PRIVATE PROPERTY RELATIONSHIP OF ALIENATION,EXPLOITATION AND SUFFERING OF HUMANITY in a modality of commodity production with the sole motive of profit . A WORLD MARKET MECHANISM of ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY,, DISTORTION AND DESTRUCTION. The emergent realisation of limits and obsolete nature of Capitalism is on. The UNITY is VICTORY

[OhioFrontiersmen]

"We are the 99%!".. Yep, 99% of the far-left 5%. Honk if you love Communism! And for those that say it is NOT a communistic movement, I suggest you go look up those black/red flags and find out what it represents. It is the flag of communist revolutionaries.

[pauljosephp1]

... what constitutes the lowest 20%

[LARRYLONGSTRETH]

What day has the most people there?

[fmnma1]

Not big enough yet Cleveland, get bigger. LET ME HEAR YOU CLEVELAND!!!

[rhondalg]

Pathetic. Get a job you bunch of goofballs. Or wear burlap sack instead of your designer jeans and using your cell phones. It is apparent you need a cause, find one that makes sense.

[mrchisdonovan]

Police told us that every Friday afternoon here at Public Square school kids have about a half dozen fights. There were no fights at all when we were there!

[glockstar76]

your owed nothing! you should be protesting washington not wall st. bill clinton and other libs and nafta, gave YOUR jobs to the slope heads. let me ask, how many of you drove a honda or toyota to the protest?? you brain washed, yuppy liberals are the problem. your told industry creates pollution,but its ok for other countrys to make cars for you to buy. the truth is, industry creates jobs and you tree huggers dont want it. get ready for martial law because of you hippy faggots.

[ericgrimm22]

@glockstar76 you seem to have all the answers, what the fuck is it then?

[glockstar76]

@ericgrimm22 Its simple, create industry and you will create jobs. we need to make it hard for countrys to import their products. if we make everything here, we will not need imported products. just like we ues to. if we kept our money here, we would have great products, and great jobs again. we need to be self sufficient.

[fmnma1]

@glockstar76

LOL, not that easy. You would have to revamp capitalism. Not to mention our dependence on foreign oil, which is unavoidable. Because of that dependent, other affairs take place, such as importation of other products, which helps foreign relations. Although I agree with you, simply stating, not that easy.

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

Revamp capitalism? There is no such thing as capitalism at this point. This is complete corporatism funded by the same people you expect to bail the American citizens out. The solution is pretty simple. We DO NOT have to be dependent on any other country, either. We have all the solutions we need right here but the only problem is everyone is too lazy to do the research and figure out the root of the problem. People would rather be parrots and repeat what sounds halfway decent.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

First off, we don't have all the solutions 'right here'. We are dependent on foreign oil, it does not exist in the U.S. Go to electric cars(?), good luck with that. It wont happen until all the oil is completely gone, which one day it will be. As for capitalism, you can change the laws, add new ones etc. As for bail outs, I think the 'AMERICAN' people have given plenty of money to the banks etc., etc., who have abused that bail out. Americans are seeing the aftermath of Bush!

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

We have plenty of alternative fuel solutions as well as plenty of oil because it does exist in America. We have had the technology for DECADES for alternative fuel. Apparently you're not understanding the difference between capitalism and corporatism and what the actual problem here is. I don't agree with the bail outs because it goes against true capitalism but I also don't agree with whiney brats wanting someone else to pay off their school loans. THIS WAS NOT JUST BUSH.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

Americans are not interested in alternative solutions to oil. Haven't you noticed, oil companies taking in 'record' high quarterly numbers? Go outside, see how many 'gas cars' you see, yet it's been around for decades. This started with Bush, and it's his mess repub, or demo has to clean up after his term ended. I think however the real issue is that 1% not being taxed to the level they should be. Hence, we are the 99 percent. That and illegal kickbacks by greedy politicians.

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

Americans aren't interested in alternative solutions to oil? Wow... Very ignorant statement. The problem is the patents on the solutions and who owns them. Do you know what a patent is and how they work? This started WAY before Bush, you sound like a brainwashed parrot. This really has nothing to do with the "one percent". This whole mess is because of the government. BOTH SIDES of the government. Stop with the blame game on republicans, that's just stupid.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

Well, as I said in a previous post, take a look outside, how many gas guzzlers do you see? Your probably right, they do have interest in other alternatives, no one wants to pay big oil companies. Yes, I know what a patent is. I am a brainwashed parrot LOL, uh huh. The war, 9/11, the econ. all started on Bush's watch. You can blame anyone you want, Bush's watch! On to your pathetic 'blame game' to the repukelicans.

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

Yes I do drive a gasoline powered car, I'm in school, I work full time, and I've got people to take care of. Once I graduate and have a good source of income, I'm going to be able to convert my car to whatever the fuck i want. The oil companies own MOST patents on alternative fuel sources so we the people will have a hard time funding and creating any of that type of business. DUR.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

Lets see, the murder of innocent woman and children in Iraq. The illegal war in Iraq. The torture of prisoners in Iraq. The CIA name leak. The economy (Bush). Both sides you say? Tell me, why are the repukelicans simply voting out any bill that has a democrats name on it? They are not interested in the American people, only their own interests. They don't want to tax the extremely wealthy 1 percent? That's bullshit! Katrina, they could have given 2 shits to start!

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

You sit here and protest the one percent when you don't realize you're part of the moron 99% who support those people and help them get richer. I don't shop at major chain stores, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Giant Eagle, etc and I don't buy products that I don't feel support our economy or the general public. I can bet you do! So I do put my money where my mouth is in almost ALL cases except my car. Thank you.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

As for 'American oil'... Do you think we have threatened 'war' with other countries stating that if they cut off our oil, war is inevitable. China, has threatened the same thing. We peeked on American oil, a very long time ago!

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

America has large untapped oil reserves, so how do we not have any? How can you "peek" on something you still have an abundence of? War is completely avoidable. It's a shame you'd even say that it is a definite thing. You're being willfully ignorant.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

And those oil reserves will last how long? I know they have oil reserves, which they keep reserved not for the American people, but mainly for the military. I didn't say it's a definite thing, the U.S government did, as did China - you misinterpreted. Since when do I (the people) have say in 'if' we go to war? Yet I'm the willfully ignorant one, cross check! You're naive to even think oil will last forever, and most definitely is running out very quickly, wake up!

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

Obviously I can't answer that because I don't know that the oil consumption level is going to be. We all have a say if we all live in this country. War is just a money generator, so why allow it to continue? Haha where are you getting this idea that I think the oil will never run out? That seems to be you while I'm over here talking about alternative solutions. You seem to not understand why were are in this situation in the first place. Do some research. For your own good.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

You really think you have any say in if we go to war, or not? You can do all the research you want, I have done some, however Americans wont do a damn thing about it until that time comes. War isn't always just a money generator, it sometimes serves a political purpose. The war in Iraq however, not the case. So, you have interest in Alternatives. I guarantee you, your driving a gas powered vehicle. So, you talk the talk, yet your dependent on oil just the same. hypocrite?

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

The economy is not Bush's fault. It's been on a downward spiral for DECADES. Obama deserves to be impeached for the crimes he's committed and I don't hear anyone talking about that. Why don't you get over what political party you define yourself with and learn the truth about all the politicians. You sound just like the type of person who will vote on whoever based on what party they affiliate themselves with. Who gives a shit about the 1%ers? it's not their fault, get off it.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

Since the 90s? Perhaps, but what I meant was (and figured it was clear) the recession started on 'his' watch. What crimes did Obama commit that needs impeachment? Bush, should have been arrested, and spent some time in prison. I know the truth about politicians. Do I vote for the party I am affiliated with? Yes, ... why? Because the repukes only have one agenda, that is their own interests. Who gives a shit about the 1 percent LOL. about 200 million people! That leaves you a loner!

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

Before the 90s. Quit blaming Bush. IT WAS THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT. There is not just ONE person to blame and you fail to realize this.

Obama assassinated an American citizen without Due Process. That's completely impeachable and deplorable.

All you morons shopping and buying their products support the one percent. Retards with your latest I-phones and shit.

Here's a voting tip, look at the person's voting record, not political affiliation.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

Quit blaming Bush your crazy. He lied to the American people about why he went to war. Has countless American lives lost over his head. Gave orders to torture prisoners (common sense), and murder innocent woman and children. Oh, I see the American assassination bullshit. You need to do some research. Treason, is a death sentence anyway. QUIT blaming Obama because he killed a terrorists. Anwar al-Awlaki, was killed in Yemen. Obama is praised for killing that terrorists little prick!

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

It's painfully obvious you don't understand politics or economics. Every politician lies. Even your precious Obama, who has deployed more troops overseas than Bush. Open your eyes. Obama has committed treason, too you jackass. If you feel comfortable with the president assassinating an AMERICAN citizen, then you're fucked in the head. That is NEVER ok. That opens the door to whatever the president wants to do, he can. You bury secrets when you kill someone.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

So, according to you, it's okay for a U.S citizen to murder innocent civilians, because he is a U.S citizen. You need to wake up, and welcome to the real world. I see you have no comment on the torture of prisoners, or the murder of woman, and children in Iraq. Funny how you fail to mention Bush playing golf, Condoleezza Rice buying shoes, after Katrina. Should we also go as far as them 'knowing' about 9/11? How about, mission accomplished, remember that one? Yes, blame the repukes

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

I'm against pointless war and torture of anyone, so where are you getting that retarded idea? I don't know why you keep telling me to wake up, you're the one with the skewed perception of reality. Which is really frightening. Your boy Obama is not better than Bush. They are both dumb fuckers who shouldn't have been in office in the first place. You're part of the problem in this country, blaming one political party and not looking at the bigger picture.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

Blaming opposing political parties. Welcome to the real world, have a nice stay, enjoy.

(There is a glimmer of hope yet)

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

Yeah and that glimmer of hope certainly does not reside in people like you. You are part of the problem.

Let go of political affiliations and research the cadidate's viewpoints, apparently that's too much work for most people though (hint hint).

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

After the image given to the repukes for crimes against humanity, I don't see how anyone would be interested in being associated with that particular party. The repukes honestly remind me of the Nazi party, of which you should research, they have very close views. To your pathetic response - who cares about the 1 percent. You feel, we should simply wipe out the working and middle class? This is what repukes have interest in. The wealthy, the corrupt, and the well controlled.

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

Do yourself and the world a favor and free yourself from political affiliation. Go back to school and get an education.

YOU ARE WIPING OUT THE MIDDLE CLASS YOURSELF AND YOU'RE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO REALIZE IT. KEEP ON SHOPPING AT WALMART AND OTHER CORPORATIONS YOU IGNORANT FUCK! THIS IS YOUR FAULT AND YOUR BLAMING IT ON PEOPLE WHO ARE SMARTER THAN YOU.

PS, I'm not a republican so you can get off of it.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

I have heard the 'education' argument before. It's typical when an idiot loses a debate, they refer to their lack of education, and then try to use it again someone else. Nice try, an EPIC fail!

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

Well if you've heard that argument before than that should be a red flag.

It's also typical when an idiot loses a debate they act like you and don't address any of the valid statements the other person makes.

You ignore the things I say because you don't want to be wrong. Haha you're a moron and completely unaware of your impact on the economy.

[fmnma1]

@WildKatWays

I will not address ignorant statements made, because they are not valid. I ignore your pathetic opinions, that's correct. You have tried to argue solutions right here in the U.S. I have given you reasons why that simply would not work. Then we entered politics. I stated, Bush has much of the blame for this current mess. You then went onto I shouldn't go with political affiliations etc.. It was under the republicans watch, I have every right to blame them. Who lost again? Y.O.U!

[WildKatWays]

@fmnma1

You're just too stupid to even comprehend what I'm telling you.

Nothing will work because we have a majority of people such as yourself with the belief that government is supposed to take care of all our problems. You are the dumbasses not realizing that the goverment (REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT) manipulated the law so things like this would happen. It's astonishing to talk to people like you who continue to ignore truth and decide they are going to blame ONE person.

[fmnma1]

@glockstar76

This isn't the industrial revolution. People have been talking about stopping imported products for many many years, has it happened yet?

[glockstar76]

@fmnma1 your movement has been hi-jacked by the libs, the media is calling you the answer to the tea party! obama is going to brain wash everyone that you support him. if hes voted back in youll have to get used to the tent your living in down town. look into ron paul youll see that alot of what your asking for he supports also. but you guys need to lose the end capitalism thing, its killing you.stick to equal pay for equal work. then youll have something. hell, i might even come join you then.

[fmnma1]

@glockstar76

200 million.. us guys huh. In case you haven't noticed, the movement, has reached 'WORLD WIDE' that's not a coincidence. I bet you believe they are protesting for nothing, don't you. Living in a tent downtown, is part of 'Occupy' yes. I'd like to see you try to stop us, you can't. Your to much of a wuss to stand up for what you believe, not to mention I'm sure your some idiot geek who has run from every fight you were ever involved in, if any.

[glockstar76]

@fmnma1 I stand up for what i believe in everyday by EARNING a living. not crying that im entitled to something,or putting the blame on people who are smart enough to make money.second, if we wanted to stop you we can. theres more real patriots than fake commies around here. you people dont even have a realistic objective. p.s good luck protecting yourself with a sign when the shit hits the fan haha run sheeple run!

[fmnma1]

@glockstar76

You are entitled to your opinion, so I have no further interest in arguing with you on a personal level, nor was I interested in the personal bs that goes with debating something as important as this. As for making a living, what makes you think I don't? Just because I agree with what they are doing, and protesting? Wow, way to judge someone there bud. There is a reason why Americans are allowed to protest their views, regardless of what those views are. Be an American.

[DementedDogStudios3]

I'll be there tomorrow

[srikavuru]

after we crossed the street and walked into Public Square. I sprinted across the square to catch the front of the line. How could you NOT notice me filming? =)

[rhondalg]

@srikavuru Maybe the corporate media will put you on TV. That would be cool huh? LOL

[OccupyCleveland]

When was this shot?
