Occupy Wall Street One Year Anniversary: #S17 Day of Action

Truth to Power News and the B Media Collective bring you the last of our daily updates on the September 15th-17th mobilizations to mark the year anniversary of the beginning of Occupy Wall Street.

September 17th began with a 7 AM mobilization to disrupt the financial district with blockades and marches. Actions continued throughout the day including street theater, spokescouncils and bank sit-ins, one of which our cameraman Chops was arrested in. The evening ended with an popular assembly and celebration in Liberty Plaza with birthday cake for all.

The weekend of mobilizations was well organized and inspiring, showing that this movement and the fight against corporate greed and austerity are alive and well, contrary to claims by corporate media spin doctors.

Anyway, just because I put whats important in life as a number one priority, doesn't mean that im a "comfortable little bitch," im just ahead on the curve. Im betting that my life right now is a hell of a lot harder than yours is right now but Im gonna make it pay off. Im also betting that most of your "independent" college kids (including you) are living off richer mommys and daddys (who support whatever they do...how nice) than I am so don't talk. Btw govt and banks-not "same shit."

[Dasajjedd03]

yes im a spy cause I guessed that as a fervent supporter you probably had been a protester...moron. yeah I know what they're fighting for asshole, you said it very clearly in caps. Im just saying that you (occupy) have done absolutely nothing towards your goals. Hell half the people in the protest have no idea what they're protesting for cause they're ignorant dumbshits. Please don't tell me that holding up signs and standing around is difficult.

The Government banks same shit-These occupy kids are mostly college kids like yourself tryna fight so that college isnt set up to be in such a way that by the time your done if you cant find a "JOB" you're be fucked, so you should be a lil more gracious IMO hater. Just because your living of your mom dad or living off of someone elses success doesn't make it right to down occupy you sir are a comfortable lil bitch, u very much sound like one- and you also sound like a spy because i did protest

[Dasajjedd03]

wow you are such a hipster tool..."saying what they want you to say." You sound like those protesters who just join "to be a part of it." Btw I'm in college and you dont see me protesting...I'm just gonna get good grades and try to find a job, not sit around wasting my time. You guys haven't made any ground work at all. Even the zucotti park owner got sick of you.btw I think you guys are mad at the banks, not the govt.might wanna think about that

[sanjuanpapi]

FUCK U- U FUCKIN SELF FISH PIG- THESE PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING SO THAT TARDS LIKE YOU HAVE A JOB. YOU ARE SUCH A GOVERNMENT COCK HOLSTER THAT YOUR ON HERE SAYING EXACTLY WHAT "THEY" WANT YOU TO SAY YOU FKN MORON.

[Dasajjedd03]
