If you haven't heard the hacker group anonymous and the Canadian site ad-blockers have teamed up to protest wallstreet. You very well might not have heard about this since the mainstream media have been blocking all coverage of this. Now reports from the Internets have ranged from 1,000 to 10,000 protesters at various times. That is a pretty big swath but considering even the lowest amount is 1k people. Its fairly difficult to mobilize even 1,000 people to do anything. The NYPD have been merciless against this group arresting individuals for exercising their right to protest and peaceably assemble. One rogue policeman tony baloney has pepper-sprayed non violent non confrontational protestors on two separate occasions. Helpless women who were being cordoned off in a baracade doing nothing more than shouting their protests were sprayed with pepper spray to the face.
This is not acceptable use of force NYPD
If this was a gathering of tea party being maced the media would be all over this. The NYPD would be vilified and things would be getting done. Instead this is a group standing up to corruption in America so the people in charge are making sure the media ignores it. This is the injustice that is america today
It has been surprising how little coverage there has been. I've also been hearing of some spinoffs across the country.
ReplyDeleteYeah it seemed like a total media blackout until the NYPD went crazy.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who was arrested on the bridge
