| 2011-10-18 |
| [Tolo News] Occupy Wall Street demonstrators in New York protesting against corporate greed shifted to Times Square on Saturday, the BBC reported. Police incarcerated about 70 people. Protests were held worldwide yesterday against austerity measures. In the Italian capital Rome, a peaceful rally turned into street battles but protests in the Spanish capital Madrid were more orderly. Demonstrations were also held in Oporto in Portugal, Athens in Greece and in many other US cities. A small group of activists started the protests in New York on September 17. Since then, numbers have swelled to several thousand people at times. |

Seems the anti-illegal attitude has caused many to rethink their journey north. the WA apple ass'n has even ponied a bnus of up to $150/day to pick. maybe some of the Occupiers ought to jump a bus and get a job..... |
