The Occupy Wall Street movement spreads

What started in NewYork City in mid September, a call to "flood lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street," has continued to feed similar groups around the United States taking up the name and cause. Groups have gathered to bring attention to many issues, with a central focus on the economic hardships and inequality they say many Americans face. -- Lloyd Young (35 photos total)

People protesting the current economic situation and several other causes had been camped in the park for several days, mirroring other demonstrations in other areas of the country. On Wednesday afternoon, police moved in and took down all of the tents, and arrested those who refused to leave them. (Ted S. Warren/Associated Press) #

"We have allowed greed to be more important than humans," said McCarthy who joined the camp a week ago. The protests started on Sept. 17 with a few dozen demonstrators who tried to pitch tents in front of the New York Stock Exchange, and has since grown to hundreds in New York, as well as across the nation.
