700 Leftys Arrested On Brooklyn Bridge

What a bunch of idiots. The police should have just sprayed the vermin with rubber bullets until they left.

You would think the police have better things to do.

Now the fire department, they can always use a little practice time.

Have you seen the inane remarks by some of these kids when interviewed? They do not have a coherent purpose for their protests other than some vague meanderings denigrating corporate America. Also, notice the branded corporate merchandise they wear and their use of corporate made technology like cell phones, laptops, and Ipads. It must be nice to have government or parents pick up the tab for protesting. Then, of course, you have the professional protesting contingent. They're the older folks that look like they dropped out of 1960s Berkeley.

The Left. This is what they do, all they do, and they really believe that they are doing something. Despicable.

There's a difference between the products you identified and the activity happening on wall street. The products identified were the results of companies actually producing something. Wall street is overpopulated with leeches who take a cut from those who are actually adding value to the economy.

The police also arrested bystanders who were not protesting but simply happened to be in the area, frankly the police behaviour is suspect.
