Occupy Wall Street reaches 1-month birthday

<snip>Some U.S. protesters, like those in Europe, have their own causes. Unions that have joined forces with the movement have demands of their own, and on Sunday members of the newly formed Occupy Pittsburgh group demanded that Bank of New York Mellon Corp. pay back money they allege it overcharged public pension funds around the country.

New York's attorney general and New York City sued BNY Mellon this month, accusing it of defrauding clients in foreign currency exchange transactions that generated nearly $2 billion over 10 years. The company has vowed to fight the lawsuit and had no comment about the protesters' allegation about pensions.

2. They are camped out

on Bank of New York Mellon's property, with the banks permission.

I saw that on the local news this morning and thought that odd.

3. The people in Pittsburgh are extraordinarily polite.

The Spousal Unit is from P'burgh and I'm always amazed at the focus on family, kids and community.

4. I'm from the area.

Yes, folk here are very friendly and polite.

I'm just wondering why that bank would allow the protesters to put tents on their property.

I could understand if it was a credit union, lol. I'm just surprised.
