Protesters Occupy Wall Street

GlobalRevolution, LiveStream.com: 'Over a thousand protesters began occupying Wall Street on Saturday in response to what they call 'the economic occupation' of big banks and moneyed interests. The protesters, part of the Occupy Wall Street movement, plan to engage in a long-term civil disobedience. They were met Saturday with police blocking them from the New York Stock Exchange and corporate media paying little attention to the protests.'
