What the OWS demonstration really looks like(pics)
Just got home from a long weekend in NYC. I went down to Wall Street to see what was going on there and was surprised to see how unimpressive the demonstration actually is.
Tiny park right next to the WTC site with a few hundred(maybe) people. I saw a couple of ladies knitting and one fellow beating a drum. Of course the park was surrounded by media filming from angles to make it look big. Pardon the quality of the pics,they are from my phone. I have been at demonstrations in Madison that were 10 times larger,when the Brathaus ran out of beer before closing. ![]() ![]()

I would not be surprised if there have been instances of larger crowds but as it gets colder and wetter you can expect the enthusiasm to drop significantly.

I wondered that too. But that is it. There was a police presence,but no where near as many as on Time square last night.

Thanks for the pics. It's always nice to see such things without the professional level spin.

It was for sure professional spun, away from it being anything... but no worries the 1000's of Google Images from cell phones and amateurs paint a clear picture for anyone willing to look.

How does that explain the 700 arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge? Was that a surge or have things died down?
I think the Occupy Fort Lauderdale only had a couple hundred people, too. Similar to the local tea parties. I remember when I was living in Annapolis, MD they made the tea party things seem big in local media but when I drove by it was a few people holding signs. Too bad the movements can't find some common ground to stand on and move forward as a unified group. |

Come to think of it, things must have died down.
I was watching the live feed on Justin.tv or something similar a few weeks back and it was WAY more busy than that. Think it was the same weekend as all of the arrests. |

There weren't any limitations in Madison when the unions were raising hell.The city was like a zoo. And after the fact,they pushed for recall elections and got some. They are still at it here as they are working overtime to get a recall election for Governor Walker.
The capital square here is large. And it was stan ![]()

These are just the people who are sleeping in the park, it seems they coordinate efforts during protests in time square and other places and much bigger crowds turn out. Social Media at its finest.

Madison isn't NYC.... Plenty of random OWS protest shots on google images that show it had a shit ton of people, but today they aren't allowed to live that one tiny little park without resistance, which has rules applied to it too.

Yes that's true. Madison has a population of around 400,000 and at the peak it was estimated over 70,000 demonstrators were out.

Have NY do with WI did, and see how the big the protest in NYC is. That was peoples lives, at that time, getting ripped apart, and that's going to fire up a shit ton of people, just like it did in Madison. The people could actually see/feel/witness themselves getting bent over.... The OWS group is protesting what has been happening for decades and more directly 3 years ago and recent events of course. People still have no idea wtf is going on with the banks, wall street or even OWS. If you lived in WI, you knew wtf was going on, and it hit almost everyone. They're VERY different.... so much, it's odd you even tried to relate them.

The Tea Party wants low taxes, small government, capitalism, and freedom. OWS wants high taxes and a nanny government and socialism. They decry white collar corruption, but they turn a blind eye to government corruption, especially if they are the beneficiaries of it.

Did you check the protest in Washington DC over the weekend? Or any of the other 1000+ Occupy protests around the world? OWS itself could quit all together, but that doesn't mean the Occupy protests are over.

Minte, you are being a fucking idiot. There have never been more than a few hundred people actually camping out in NYC. Thousands show up to the marches and other organized events, not everyone can just hang out in NYC for months on end. 700 were arrested on the bridge alone, so are you going to claim 300 protesting but 700 arrested?
It's not like this shit isn't well documents. You can go watch live streams of the protests right now, view videos from everything that has gone on and read reports going back to September. If you are ignorant about what is happening it's your own lazy ass fault. :2cents To act as if people camped out all across the USA and the world is no big deal is hilarious. They've never seen anything like this and still don't know what to do. Over 100 were arrested in Chicago alone this weekend and they came right back to camp when released.

OWS is one protest within a massive Occupy Movement. The OWS protest is "focused" on Wall street... while the Washington DC movement, is focused on Government, and others on both, other things, etc. Fox news will never tell you the facts, so I'll do it for you.

That's because most people are brainwashed sheep that only do and think what the television or radio tells them.

Minte, serious question:
Did you go and talk to anybody or did you take pics from afar to illustrate a point you wanted to make? If just taking pics and seeing what you want to see, how is that any different than what the media is doing? Sounds like you went there with your mind made up. You say the media makes it look like more people, how do we know you're not making it look like less? You have proven yourself to be biased in the past...just like you are accusing the media of being. |

Obviously you know something they don't if you can say they are "not getting it right" or are not "reporting it fairly." Personally, I don't think it is their job to "help it." Not sure why you think that is the job of the media. |

Could you point out the last time fox, cnn, msnbc, ect did any actual reporting? Where the reporter actually investigates what's happening and produces an indepth report on it, without a slant? Where is the report that covers of the real reasons behind the protest? Like breaking down the criminal activities, fraud, corruption, and influence some of these groups/people/corps, etc have over our financial systems, gov, politicians, states, etc. It's not like it's a secret, it's not like it doesn't happen... but why don't we have reports on it? Why's it always drum circles, hippies, and college kids that are broke, unemployed, and lacking a core message thus have no message? When Google Images disproves this instantly. Where are the reports showing the police crossing the legal line, and why do we have to wait to "see" the truth on the Internet rather than from them? I didn't say it was the job of the media to help. I did say "or do anything to actually help it" - meaning, if they actually covered the truth, did some real reporting, you would have millions of more people protesting..... but, that's not what they do, at all. Thus we have people like those in this thread that think it's a joke, basically because daddy media hasn't told them otherwise. Media fair my ass, honest, hell no, trustworthy, not for a second... anyone that actually listens/takes in what the mainstream media says in this Country, instantly makes them 100% uninformed of anything actually happening. I don't care who is reporting, fox to pbs... start looking up what they say, it wont take long to realize how much bullshit they spew. Are you okay with the media hiding the truth from you?

So we can ignore that... and watch the media reports, then go look online to see the truth. Just like many here, the words hippies, drum circles, college kids, etc was repeated because that's what the media said. However, once several pictures were posting that disproved that, it quickly stopped around here... but the media still spews it.

Do you bill millions of dollars per year on websites utilizing multiple class C's with SEO hosting or do you just talk about it without actually doing it yourself? Maybe a bad example since SEO webhosting is highly disputed as being effective but you get the point. There are enough resources available to anyone with an internet connection to get a damn good idea of what is happening somewhere without ever stepping foot on the ground and that means that there is enough information available to know that Minte's assessment of the protests is bullshit bred from ignorance.
