Its been 2 months now of #occupywallstreet, and I think now, more than ever, while the popularity may be rising in numbers, the amount of silent protesters is dwindling. The people who use to say ,"Atta Boy!", to the protesters , are now damning them as these 27 year old jobless college grads who are just getting in the way.

Yesterdays movement was a terrible inconvenience to innocent people all over the city. Trains were delayed, people had trouble getting in and out of their homes, children were accosted by ranting misguided miscreants, and a bevy of other folk were caught up in a protest that was as useful as "a hole in the head", to quote every grandfather out there.

Watching the news was quite entertaining. The stations did a great job of making a large "Biz Markie" looking police officer who had "vinegar?", thrown in his face, such a victim. There was the constant cut-away to the bloodied crying young man, who probably trip in the mass hysteria, and as well all know, head wounds bleed a ton, the kid was obviously fine. If they had just wiped the blood off his face, they would have found a little knick.

 

Bloomberg was actually pretty political with his way of speaking. I still think he was an asshole for kicking the protesters out of Zucotti in the first place, but it seemed to be a nation wide backlash from the powers at be, not just Bloomy and his crew. Remember the same thing happened in Portland and Denver by their individual police factions, it wouldn't surprise me if this was a united decision by the individual city governments, as I'm sure you have all figured out as well.

 

When asked if he thought it was fair that average working folk, mothers taking their children to school and other civilians should be put out for this "occupation", one young protester said, "In the eyes of a revolution, there must be a few sacrifices".  And you know, I agree, there should be sacrifices, but not the ones aforementioned. Here are my thoughts on these protesters, they need to give up all of their corporate goodies before they continue to bitch at all. Give up your iPhones, MacBooks,  Brand Name Clothing, Credit Cards, Televisions, any cell phone service, dont burn a lick of oil, i.e., no gas burning vehicles, video games, etc, etc...you see where I'm going with this. Your feeding the beast your bitching about. And if you really want to put your money where your mouth is, you will stop all of those things and many more before you "Occupy" one more square foot of land. The rest of us understand where the money is going, do you really think the mass public is stupid about there money? People may be idiots, but when it comes to their money, everyone is a certified accountant, with the few exceptions of some real re-re's.

As a closing note, the real statistics you are waving around on your signs that you constructed with items from Staples and Home Depot, two more giants you should not be soliciting, if you really want to "#occupywallstreet", your going to buy some plane tickets and head to the desert sands of Saudi Arabia. The oligarchy of money and power lies there, likewise, the power that extends from their reach comes all the way back home to us here in the Red, White and Blue. So if you want to take a stand, grab some sunblock and #OCCUPYSAUDIARABIA, THIS WALL STREET THING JUST AIN'T WORKIN' OUT! BEAT IT!
