Very heartening: watching the NYC OWS livefeed

[salin]

icky weather - but a lot of people out there. Diverse group, a lot of "we are the 99%" would love to see that meme get picked up soaked into the public psyche. The Live stream drops from time to time but has about 4700 viewers.

1. now upto 5100 live veiwers

"Whose Bridge, Our Bridge"
"Whose Street, Our Street"
"All Day, All Week, Occupy Wall Street"
"The People United Will Never Be Defeated"

2. "We are the 99 per cent"...

as the march crosses the Brooklyn Bridge.

Even if you don't have time to watch - open the live stream - start being counted as part of the growing numbers who, even if not there, are paying attention. (Sooner or later if all of those numbers keep growing, esp with groups showing up in other places) more media coverage will follow.

Now up to a few viewers shy of 6000.

12. If they arrest them one by one, gonna take a long time.

Which is good. Let more people watch.

[uppityperson]

13. oops, there go several. This is something.

[ohheckyeah]

11. 11505 viewers

right now. It looks like they are arresting people at random.

14. The whole dynamic shifted very quickly.

There were a whole lot of people in the march. Am guessing not all made it onto the bridge before this broke out. Bet there is a whole additional story happening outside of the live-stream with those who did not make it onto the bridge.
