Regarding he people at the protest, I work across the street from it, and have gotten a dirty look every time I walk by wearing a suit. I've also seen it turn from a protest against "corporate greed", to an anti-NYPD statement. I know there have been some minor conflicts, but ironically the NYPD is working to keep the protesters safe. Think of it this way; if some retard came up and wanted to start shooting at the protesters, who would bring that person? Not Johnny cardboard sign...
I could write a whole drawn out post about my views on this whole thing, but I think everyone has pretty much made up their minds. I would only say that hopefully there isn't violence and bloodshed on the horizon, and that the OWS crew is able to explain their views in a logical manner to those in power. |
Idk, this might be a thing where people see what they want to see. I've gone down there many times after work in dress pants and a dress shirt and never been treated any differently. I mean I could say the same thing about the few times I was handing out literature around the park to people passing by - you wanna talk about dirty looks? On some level I'm sure it goes both ways. I just see those people as the aberration; and it probably confirms your suspicions about the movement. And we're probably both right and both wrong to a certain degree.
However, I'd also disagree with it becoming anti-nypd, all the signs with NYPD on it are basically saying you are one of us. People obviously get pissed when arrests start going down, but the other 95% of the time it's been an extremely cordial relationship b/w us and the police.
