Interesting that we where, according to undisclosed source, allowed to stay in Zuccotti Park by it's owner brookfield properties on the condition that we where going to refrain from violence. Like violence would be the normal way of conducting yourself? If this was true it kind of illustrates the problem at hand: the corporations in power does not listen to the angry protesters. Instead they just assume that we are bad people out to destroy. Now even if they where to sit down with us and talk about the problem at hand I do not think that they would be interested in letting go of the power that they bought themselves. But all the other people, who does not own a bank, who can not control the politicians. Should they not be more interested in what we peacefully ask for?
We have taken every precaution to conduct this demonstration peacefully and within the laws constraints. What happens? someone orders Wall street to be closed off and guarded by numerous police officers and us the demonstrators to be, illegally prompted into a park. And in discussion with one policeman where he is asked about lawfulness of politically protesting by sleeping on the side-walk his response is We will not care about that. Then I wish for Judge Dread. A policeman who knows and follows the law, every day, all the time. Summary justice in the hands of the rich can not be a good thing for the rest of us 99%.
