Wall Street Protests
« on: November 01, 2011, 08:13:15 am »
I remember reading an article linked here which was sneering at protestors -- painting them as weak minded hippies playing the victim, who deserve any hardship they might have, mostly based on one ridiculous protestor who was videotaped. 

So I decided I wanted a more complete picture of these protests.  This is a brilliantly written factual article about the Wall Street corruption and protestor mentality:
