Interesting and in case anyone wondered, the media refused to cover this event.  We can thank Mr. Obama and his constant class warfare for this and many of his other divisive comments.  At any rate, I hadn't thought about this proposed protest at all until late yesterday afternoon, and then, found an article indicating they had indeed gathered and according to this article, they wanted 20,000 to set up camp but got around 1,000 people to show up (and from the pictures, they are mostly young, and perhaps, their appearance may be at least part of the reason they can't find a job).  I might also say these may all be the brain dead that allowed the school system to subvert them into useful idiots (who apparently don't realize they are protesting the folks that give out the jobs many of them apparently need)............Oh well!  I remember a professor saying one time, it didn't matter if you wanted to have piercing and the like or dressed in a somewhat off beat manner or didn't like bathing, if you wanted a job, you took out the studs, cleaned your self up and wore a classic suit or something suitable for the job you were applying for to the interview.  If you didn't want a job, you didn't need to change anything and you could rest assured, you wouldn't be given a job!  Appearance and attitude count with most companies (but I am not a human resources person, so I only can go on what I have been told)!

Wall Street firms are the target of a nonviolent demonstration in which organizers say they want 20,000 people to participate with tents, kitchens and “peaceful barricades” in lower Manhattan.

Dubbed “#OccupyWallStreet,” the goal of the protest is to get President Barack Obama to establish a commission to end “the influence money has over our representatives in Washington,” according to the website of Adbusters, a group promoting the demonstration. Organizers want participants to “occupy” the area for “a few months,” according to the website.

“People have a right to protest, and if they want to protest, we’ll be happy to make sure they have locations to do it,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sept. 15 at a press conference. “As long as they do it where other people’s rights are respected, this is the place where people can speak their minds, and that’s what makes New York, New York.”

As the demonstration began this afternoon, as many as 1,000 people congregated in the Chase Manhattan Plaza area and, after speakers with a bullhorn rallied the crowd, broke into groups to discuss the event’s goals. Some participants circulated trays of sliced white and wheat bread while others passed out jars of creamy Skippy peanut butter, and distributed apples, bananas and oranges from shopping carts.
