"To the one percent who wish to flee the occupation of Wall Street. You can not escape the occupations. We are at your vacation destinations. Expect us".

The local Fox News affiliate reported
on the protest.
And someone posted a short video at YouTube too. |
The march lasted from 3:30 PM to 7:30 PM - I didn't participate in the 4-hour march from the New York-New York casino to the Bellagio and MGM Grand casinos (all owned by MGM). I just spent about 30 minutes taking pictures by the New York-New York casino's "Brooklyn Bridge".

What is legal to do on the Vegas strip? An interview with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department about the October 6, 2011 protest.
If you only watch Fox News, you would think that all these people are against business and capitalism. Not true.
ReplyDeleteOn Fox News Eric Bolling was berating the Occupy Wall Street crowd for marching on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, saying "96% of its members are small businesses."
But what he failed to mention was that only 11% of all small American businesses actually belongs to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
