Liberty Plaza, New York City 9/21/2011
(Image by adbusters/#occupywallst.org) Details DMCA
Scorecard:
Arrests of peaceful protesters for minor infractions: 12
Arrests of Wall Street banksters on major charges for destroying the world economy: 0
TARP for Wall Street: $325 billion interest free loan, no collateral. Billions more hidden in Fed discount window transactions. And, these guys are still not solvent!
Tarps taken from peaceful protesters in the rain: several $10 plastic
Gasoline: Wall Street makes billions upon billions of dollars rigging both open and private oil markets for years.
Gasoline: a few gallons confiscated from peaceful protesters by NYPD (Taking somebody's gasoline! How unAmerican is that?)
Strategic Resources:
The police have, so far, taken away the protesters' gas, food, water, tarps, signs, megaphones, electric power, ability to narrowcast video (for a short time), some measly civil rights and their colored big stick chalk.
Other than that, this seedling organization has a few thousand dollars and its membership is basically living on the street.
