The entire Occupy Chicago camp and a contingent of Occupy Wall Street protesters who are currently occupying Washington Square Park are both facing imminent eviction by police. Please check out their livestreams here and here and their Twitter feeds here and here. We stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Chicago and New York, as they have stood with us. We are the 99%, united.

OCTOBER 15, 2011, 9:49 P.M. ET Thousands of protesters fill NYC’s Times Square – Associated Press
http://online.wsj.com/article/AP86ac85ef107d4dbb88e3be01c42cc484.html
“Retired teacher Albert Siemsen of Milwaukee said at a demonstration there that he’d grown angry watching school funding get cut at the same time that banks and corporations gained more influence in government. The 81-year-old wants to see tighter Wall Street regulation.
Around him, protesters held signs reading, “Keep your corporate hands off my government,” and “Mr. Obama, Tear Down That Wall Street.”
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick visited protesters in Boston’s Dewey Square for the first time. He said that after walking through the camp, he better understands the range of views and was sympathetic to concerns about unemployment, health care and the influence of money in politics.”
Patrick also showed all sorts of concern about industrial biomass incineration and its potential effect of Massachusetts forests, BUT now his administration is busy weakening forest protection. Beware of business as usual on Beacon Hill.
I enjoyed watching the guys leaning over the barricades blowing the whistles in the cops ears, then when the cops grab the whistles they start chanting “police brutality’ , ” the whole world is watching”. The violence is increasing daily and seems to be well orchestrated. You will all be asked to do your part soon. the guise of peaceful demonstrations was revealed for what it is yesterday, world wide. Lucky for most, independent journalists not associated with the msm has documented this from 6 months ago and the super majority of americans know who is behind this and that this is just part of reelect Obama campaign. the annoitment of Governor Patrick is just a symbolic blessing of the movement on the Obama campaign.
No one is out in the streets to support Obama, dude. Wake up.
lmao rofl. Let’s take a poll of all the whiny hippies at the protests. I’m sure Mein Obama will win the election, hands down!

Let’s hope the police get in there and crack your skulls open.
Fucking parasites.
Wow! it’s people like you that’s why this world is fucked up.
The Guy is a bigoted coward…. And I say coward for the fact that if he ever worked up the nerve to act on any of the perverse shit in his blog, he would be a nationwide headliner.
Hey … that gives me an idea
Peace,
MH
No, shithead, it’s because of whiny smelly parasitic whores like you that we are all fucked.
Fucking parasites? Let me guess. You would come down here and tell that to older veterans camped in OB, and to young marines camped here, and to all the various individuals, male and female, young and old, here? No? Coward.
Be brave. Come tomorrow. You would be welcomed and only stand to learn something. If you have anything to teach in return, why wouldn’t you want to share it?
Oh, another parasite threatening mob violence against anyone who opposes their whiny demands. I love when lefties show their true, violent colors.
What the world thinks of Occupy Wall Street
http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2011/10/14/listen-up-america-what-the-world-thinks-of-occupy-wall-street/
For example…
CHINA— “[T]he international community is watching closely to see if U.S. politicians will end their finger-pointing and roll up sleeves to produce the reforms that their people are demanding,” says an editorial in the Beijing-based China Daily.
“The rapid expansion of Occupy Wall Street protests from an event ignored by most news organizations just three weeks ago to the current popular movement that no one can or should neglect indicates soaring public anger at U.S. partisan paralysis regarding real solutions to the country’s underlying problems.”
lmao.
Congratulations, a totalitarian society with a privileged mandarin class is on your side.
I love you how you’re too dumb to see anything wrong with that.
What people who support OWS are protesting about:

Watching osw live feed last night as osw had a hostile take over of times square. Observed violent protestors assaault police over and over. The assaults concisted of blowing referee whistles loudly inches from cops ears, intentionally bumping into cops with lowered shoulders, countdowns by groups, then in mass pushing cops. You are getting close to all out riots. I know it is coming, I read van jones blue print.
We don’t give a fuck about Van Jones.
lol. Riiiiight fascist.
There’s Seamus again. Hello. How are you today? Did you see the people yesterday? Is the message getting any clearer for you? On one hand you delight in violence toward the protesters but yet you bitterly complain if the protesters react with violence. The protesters only want a better world. You seem to have a problem with that. What a cum stain on the face of humanity you are. Please come often so we may stay aware of your kind and keep showing us what it is that unites us.
How much more are we supposed to take? I am so tired of big business governing us… to their benefit not ours. I’ve had enough of working harder and harder and getting poorer and poorer. Let’s occupy some of those vast mansions and take over their homes like the bank has taken ours. (What the hell, they have 7 homes and a yacht to live on anyway!) We had to leave our homes peaceably when the bank took them. So now it is their time to leave their homes peaceably …and we can occupy them and turn them into old age homes, or autistic homes, or day cares, or orphanages, or mental hospitals, or veterans homes, or…. just give back to the people. The 50 acres of rolling grass around the mansions can be turned into farm land to feed the people, too. (If monsanto stops genetically altering food seeds for profit!)
Anybody see Robin Hood lately?
Kevin and Seamus, both Irish names but you can’t possibly be Irish? Listen to a real Irishman, your on the wrong side. This is imperialism aka globalism that is being attacked and your defending it. Shame on you and may your Irish descendants disown you.
Seriously man… Loyalist scum.
As a true American, formerly an Isrishman , I have to laugh at your hatred in ignorance. Supporting the terrorist bombings of a splinter group of criminals does not betray my birth or religon. i can find common ground with anybody on this planet on something. To say i agree with the corruption does not make me a member of your protest, because i know who organized this and they are no friends to justice and liberty, no more then I agree with a free united repulic of ireland but can’t come to believe in people who murder innocent women and children. Loyalist? yes, to our constitution, very much so. We had a word to describe you people’ soupers” . I can be mad at the government, i can agree that Banks and billionaires and unions too , should not use money to influence government. it is great, we agree. More government is the problem, to deny this is a socialist movement is foolish. Just look what socialism as done for the world. it is a failure and almost always results in genocide, starvation, famine etc.. it is evil. i pray that you become enlightened instead of ignorant and hateful.
Meril
im sorry those bastards took your home. Would u mind sharing what happens with your brothers and sisters.
He bought a house he couldn’t afford, and claimed he could. He told the bank he would faithfully pay his mortgage from the money they loaned him and he betrayed that trust. they took his house to pay their bills. Now he’s whining he should have gotten it for free.
Who mentioned terrorism or bombings? This protest is not socialism. If anything it is anarchism. But we have common ground. Your opinion is welcome and we would like to have an open and honest debate in an open forum. Just stop the verbal abuse and so far baseless claims. Socialism may well be evil as you say but capitalism is worse. There is no question. Socialism could not compete with capitalist destruction. We just want a change. Why again does this threaten you?
lmao rofl. Another whiny lefty complaining that people are freely making decisions that the little fascist doesn’t like.
It will all be better when we have the absolute authority to dictate to people what they may and may not have, eh, comrade? And if we take a little more, its only because we’re working so hard on the people’s behalf, right? We’re just a little more equal than everyone else, correct?
Nor do I believe in a united Irish republic and I believe every person who died in the name of that was murdered. These people are all of our enemies people who preach hatred and bigotry – division is how to conquer. Can you not see any link? Republican/democrat , loyalist/republican, socialist/capitalist, protester/antiprotester. And anyway WTF is it with people who are anti protest?
And why Seamus have you been trolling here the past weeks? You seem to have little else better to do. do you get paid for this?
