Insurance company or not, the gripe is valid. Don't make life tough on the rest of us 99%'ers by blocking streets.

Make life tough? Jesus people. A TWO BLOCK detour is a problem for you? Be thankful you have a job and enjoy the detour.

Of course, I can say this because not only do I have a job but I ride a bike. A SINGLE SPEED bike at that. It's hard for me to comprehend how much better I am than you. Oh! Thought of something else, I don't eat meat! K...to sum it up... You: STFU Me: Better than you in every way. Seriously.

You just KNOW that many in the 'occupation' won't be satisfied till they have gotten arrested for something.
ANYTHING.

Um yeah. The Standard, a company that has decided to outsource 130 professional IT jobs to India. 130 people who now will be out of work as of Nov 10, 2011. 130 families who no longer have paychecks or health insurance just to save a few bucks. Sad.

I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO GO DOWN THERE AND TAZE ALL THE PEOPLE STANDING IN THE STREET. FROM THAT VIDEO, THAT APPEARS TO INCLUDE SAM ADAMS.

From what I read, the majority want to give back the street too.
Is this where the feel-good unity, and public empathy end?
For a street? Way to focus on the BIG PICTURE.

$10 says DamosA gets arrested!

I saw those cops, and they looked very much like they were gearing DOWN, not up. I saw them put away vests, take off gloves, throw things back into their trunks before all driving away. I think they were getting ready for some action, but were stood down.

What are the demands in exchange for reopening the street?

Note who at the protest has the bongo drum. Yes. The jerks ruining it for everyone.

I love that the picture of cops in gear is the only picture in super-soft focus. It's like that one gets it's own slow jazz sound track.

Yeah, that one was taken with my lousy phone camera. It gives every single thing a Star Trek Vaseline-lens look.

Because that's how you see life, Denis!

Admit it, there's vaseline all over your phone, Denis.

No, we don't want to know why.

Dude in the papasan chair is showing up everywhere in the media. Twinkles for him, I guess
