34. the stream kept dropping... this is what I think I saw
I know you were watching: They were allowed to proceed across the bridge - keeping to one side to allow one lane for traffic.

Then I heard "Get Down" (I thought someone had climbed) - but quickly it turned into a sit in. Then the police started dragging folks and it started becoming a stand off.

Now they are trapped if you will with police on both ends of the bridge. So what about the protesters who did not yet make it onto the bridge (the live stream folks are on the bridge), and did the police intentionally "let them" on the bridge in order to corral them, or did they only start acting once some of the protesters sat down? What is your take on the events?

12. They were being allowed to, until the marchers started sitting down
as in an old fashioned sit-in. Then the showdown (dragging some off the road) and arrests began.

Live feed operator just said that police were on both ends of the bridge baracading the protesters on the bridge.

168. Okay, so for the fine print: Did they start sitting down before or after
they saw they were hemmed in? Did the police block them so they sat down or the other way around? This will tell the difference. Many of us here have been telling them that if they are about to be arrested to sit down and use passive resistance. Is that what they were doing?

193. Thanks, that's what I thought too. They appeared, to me, to be headed
for their party in the park peacefully and unaware they were going to be stopped, then saw the dozens of police in front of them, and a few sat down. They were very disciplined, for such a large crowd.

corralling protesters. I remember a protest in london they corralled them and made them stay in the pen for hours, until some pushed back; then it was those protesters are turning violent. It was done intentionally to ignite a confrontation.

185. The corporate media is so twisted, corrupted,
mangled and distorted that they feed Americans information on democracy in action, but only from foreign countries. Only snippets and bad spin about democracy in action in the US. That way Americans come to see protests, fighting for your rights and standing up to the oligarchy as something foreign, outside the mainstream, beyond the reach of most Americans like universal health care.

Remember the protests over stolen election in Ukraine? Right after the bushes got the black robed junta, I mean the supremes, to vote them into power, the media was all over the Ukraine stolen elections. Channeling all our pent up irritation into some outrage in a foreign country.

And guess what? It worked. Americans didn't get up and revolt because the presidential elections were rigged and the supreme court of the land had turned into nothing more than a puppet of some oil tycoons. No, we all passively admired Ukraine while doing absolutely NOTHING about our own stolen elections.

They hope it will work this time too.

GOP supported propaganda and mass manipulation of political sentiment, don't you just love it?

Something else that I just started hearing this last 10 years that I just realized was untrue. That protests never accomplish anything (especially if they are disorganized). In fact protests are about the only thing that ever change the status quo. But if you read the current theories about revolts and protests, you always hear that they don't work.

But you know protests really do work and work well. Even the Koch brothers know. That's why they created the teabaggers (Did you ever wonder why a group of middle class, middle aged, working people called themselves such a sexually explicit term? It was like they were so out of touch with common people they didn't know what the term meant. But how could common people who worked everyday not know? Because the name was chosen for them by a group of out-of-touch, greedy pampered, elderly billionaires.).

and the network that *does* start covering it - is going to see a huge jump in viewership. Look at how fast the livefeed is jumping. When the march started it was under 5000. Now almost 14000. Most by word of mouth (or word on the internet).

(I'm assuming) and another small girl were taken away before her. Several members of the group started yelling out to the cops asking why they were arresting children.

Edited on Sat Oct-01-11 04:41 PM by ClarkUSA
That's my opinion, anyway. They picked the largest, pedestrian friendly landmark in NYC and went for it, knowing full well that blocking traffic on it would create hazardous conditions for drivers, much chaos, anger on the part of stuck drivers with no way to go forward.

Imagine if this had happened on the Golden Gate Bridge this afternoon. Same difference.

It was a good move if the protesters' aim was to get more national attention.

led onto the bridge by the police, some sat after they realized they were trapped and the only chaos, was created by police.

124. The Mods on the live feed are saying that the police drove that part of the protest onto the bridge
so they would then have a reason to arrest them. Don't know if that's true but they -have- been using nets to divide up the groups, etc. Would NOT put it past them, or their orders from higher up who have probably been told to end this.

140. The Brooklyn Bridge connects Manhattan, near the foot of Wall Street, with Brooklyn
It goes over the East River, which isn't really a river, but rather a channel between Manhattan on the West and Queens and Brooklyn on the East. The East River connects Long Island Sound to Upper New York Harbor.

It's roughly where George Washington's army escaped from Brooklyn Heights by rowboats in a fog overnight after a battle with the British. He then escaped northward through Manhattan.

yesterday, I haven't had a chance to catch up today. Boston just got started yesterday and they had, according to reports between 2 and 3,000 people there yesterday! Amazing numbers. They had people who have been Foreclosed on there.

It's interesting that the arrests in NY today were also at the BOA.

Chicago is growing also and have seen Occupythehood? They are not part of a city or state, but are encouraging minorities to join the movement. And Scotland, Australia and at least two other countries have joined. It's going GLOBAL!

I love it. The Globalists were global while the people were not for far too long, so they were able to keep wages down in many countries. But now, with the people going Global, all these issues can be addressed over time. Maybe all 6 Billion of us can fix the mess they made, and create a better world! Lol, I know, I am optimistic, but from the beginning there was something about this that was different. Changes ARE going to happen. :-)

153. Well, it wouldn't be a surprise if they do arrest people today
also. They are so foolish, Each time they do this, the numbers of people double. They really can't control the message they way they used to, although they are trying. The NYT article today, mostly about the actions of the police, still trying to diminish the purpose, using the same old tactics, slipping in words like 'the disorganized, leaderless group' etc. etc. Doesn't matter anymore though. This happened WITHOUT them! They work for Corporate AMerica, I hope they stay away and I hope one of the goals now should be the restoration of the fairness doctrine at least, and people should keep starting their own media.

There is enough momentum already to start a new newspaper in every state. And enough talented journalists who will not be hired in the MSM because they are too honest. Just leave the old way behind, it's beyond fixing. That's what I think you can see happening highlighted by the media's complicity in trying to stop this from growing, and in failing to do so, demonstrating their growing irrelevancy.

Just saw a great idea from someone on the live stream chat! She said 'since the media won't cover this, let's join the Macy's Day parade since they always cover that!' Lol, good thinking.

INTERNATIONAL

The model for this was from Spain. And now more and more are happening every day. I've seen discussions about eventually organizing a national event combining all the cities in the US, and then maybe, as it grows, and Global event. But here is a list of the latest from overseas, already grown since I checked it a day or so ago. It's on this www.occupytogether.org blog where they are trying to keep up with latest cities joining the movement.

Occupy Adelaide
Occupy Brisbane
Occupy Cologne
Occupy Cork, Ireland
Occupy Den Haag, NL
Occupy Finland
Occupy Frankfurt Germany
Occupy Hamburg Germany
Occupy Manchester | March on the Tory Party Conference
Occupy Melbourne Australia
Occupy Montreal
Occupy Norwich, Norfolk, UK
Occupy Nova Scotia
Occupy Perth
Occupy Stockholm
Occupy Sydney
Occupy the London Stock Exchange

154. And no news coverage?
I don't claim that this is an original thought, but it is still breathtakingly telling: can you imagine if these were teabaggers?

158. Good to hear. I'm on the west coast: it's only four fortyish here
No evening news yet. But I don't generally tune into it anyway. I just assume they won't cover anything I'm interested in.

164. Yes. With each other and with any viewers/readers like us here that can help:
Expressing gratitude to all those who have been donating and helping. They have plenty of clothing, they were saying, but hard staying warm in the cold and rain, and are in need of sleeping bags and ponchos. Also clothing in extra larger sizes for larger people sizes there.

181. KABC, LA 0:39 seconds of video. The speakers were great, esp.
the soldier with the dark Christopher Marlowe and the bad smoking habit ;)

'Occupy LA' demonstrators march on City Hall (video)
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=8375524

KTLA was there too, but the group ignored them.

188. They kettled them and now they're arresting them.
And they don't understand that just like the Arabian Spring, we will not go away. We will not allow the oligarchs to win this war. We cannot. See you at the barricades!!
