What the hell is going on Wall Street right now? Sorry to have two threads in 5 min, but a friend of mine just posted something on FB about the whole deal going on in NYC on Wall St and it involving cops. I don't watch the news often so can someone fill me in?

Ok just got some word on it, it's called "Occupy Wall Street." Apparently people are really pissed off...

And they're being extremely vague- they're mad a corrupt politicians and corrupt corporations, but what is their specific grievance? I'm pissed about some politicians, but if I were to organize protests I'd be a tad bit more specific.

I heard Michael Moore was there in support of the protestors yesterday-
take that for what it's worth... (where's the steaming pile of dung emoticon?)

One girl was carrying a 'Stop Capitalism' sign. I also saw a 'Power Through Peace' sign. The guest speaker was sounding very much like a lunatic, then he said 'Martin Luther King'. For some reason everyone in the crowd repeats every word the speaker says. There is some weird stuff going on there.

I think the reason it's so weird is the whole thing is a social media experiment by some left wing organization. Kind of like a flash mob on steroids. The only theme is Wall Street = bad. Anything else is up to the protester.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
