+ add your ownows is back to ruining public property. just what the tax paying public needs. thanks so much. why don't they just pack it in? their idea of helping the 99% is to cost us more? their creditability is shot and they are nothing more than thugs. go away ows.
It saddens me that protesters resort to vandalism to force attention to the plight of the 99%.
This does nothing more than draw negative attention. It also results in extra costs in policing and repairs. Inevitably we are all paying for a day of confusion .
A strike action, for a single day or several days, will do little to change the attitudes and pattern of greed/ corruption established by big bankers, Big Oil, and others who abuse the public and the public trust. Sustained and effective protest must include actions that damage the profit making potential of the abusers. For one example, a person moving all their funds from a big bank to a community S&L (Savings & Loan) is making an effective protest. As another example of protest, a person who stops driving to work and rides their bicycle may not get the attention of Big Oil ... but if enough persons join the protest, a protest is made that will be noticed. There are many more such examples, but you get the idea.
