Occupy Wall Street: After the Brooklyn Bridge arrests, we meet the protestors

Tensions are flaring in Lower Manhattan. We paid a visit to Zuccotti Park -- or 'Liberty Park', as campaigners have renamed it -- to meet the people at the centre of the movement and find out why they were protesting.

Many thanks to Damian Nuñez of http://dnvphoto.com for allowing us to use footage from Battle of Brooklyn Bridge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1-1kif71-c).

What a crazy country USA became!

Bunch of warmongers, terrorists, so called elites inflicting crisis wherever they have their "interests" ... and a bunch of helpless children who don't know how thing came to that point...

A real threat to the rest of the world, also (and not the least) in the term of mental health ...

@Monarchprincess011 It's impossible to become a "productive part of society" when there are no jobs for people, small businesses are closing in stead of expanding due to lack of business and funds. Banks are not making loans as promised due to a failing economy. Obama was elected on a promise of change. Most of this turned into an extension of Bush programs that already were failing. Everybody;...including protesters, want this to remain the "greatest country in the world."

@Monarchprincess011 FREE TRADE AND TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS ARE A GOP HOAX !

The protesters are so stupid and need to be a productive part of society instead of whining and complaining because we all live in the greatest country in the world...the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
