Anti-Wall Street Protesters Reach ‘Prime Time’ Goal as Arrests Surpass 700 - Bloomberg


We should all love this. After the Banks took $700 billion from President Bush in 2008, and then did not lend to small businesses, someone needs to hold them accountable.

Anti-Wall Street Protesters Reach ‘Prime Time’ Goal as Arrests Surpass 700 - Bloomberg: "Anti-Wall Street protests escalated with more than 700 arrests over the weekend, thrusting the once- dwindling demonstrations into the national spotlight.
The rallies, which began 16 days ago with a goal of occupying Wall Street for months, spread to cities including Los Angeles and Boston, where 25 people were arrested Sept. 30 after police said they refused to leave the lobby of a Bank of America Corp. (BAC) building. The next day, New York City police halted a march over the Brooklyn Bridge and took hundreds of activists into custody for blocking traffic. Some people arrested claimed officers had tricked them into leaving the pedestrian walkway."
