October 16th - Abuse of Power: Protecting Property Over People

Suspiciously many organizations based on Wall Street or with a great deal of wealth have been making massive donations to the NYPD. As it goes, the NYPD have been arresting a great deal of protesters for minuscule offenses such as not being on a side walk. Ironically, they say they must remain on the sidewalk so traffic is not blocked...yet there are hundreds of police occupying the street...

When this sort of abuse starts happening, things turn violent. I expect to see this more and more as the movement gains momentum. Soon it will be tear gas and rubber bullets. When that happens it will be a scary day for the people of New York.

October 15th - Citibank Arrests

It has come to my attention that roughly 24 people were arrested in Citibank for attempting to close their accounts with the bank. While it is not clear exactly what happened in the bank, what is clear is this: the bankers are scared.

On a civil note, there were laws broken by the security guards which will not be covered by anyone. Closing and locking your doors while police arrive is a crime. It's called kidnapping. Here is a video of the incident.
