4. If you'll note in the photos, cops aren't allowing OWS marches to get anywhere near the convention

center, if that's where the PP rally was (I strongly support PP). In one of the photos above you can see there are several protest groups present, including the undocumented, Code Pink, and more. Sorry if you had difficulty but "things are fucked up and bullshit" and MUST change. Government doesn't care; it's part of the problem (citizens united, glass-steagall, deportations, PFC Manning, etc.) Protesting and resistance to the unacceptable is how this country was founded.

And none of the marches have been in one place long enough to block anyone from getting to a day job, the entire day. Occupy is =about= supporting those who struggle; do you have more information on when and where this occurred?
