Los Angeles Rally Pics - GREAT Signs!!!

[cui bono]

Started at noon. I didn't get there until 1pm but glad I still went since it lasted until 2pm. About five minutes after I got there a march of about 400 people showed up with a lot of cheering. I don't know how many people were there but I heard someone estimate the crowd at around 1500.

Edit to add: It was supposed to rain but people still showed up and we lucked out and had a nice sunny rally. Then about 45 minutes after it ended I was driving to meet up with a friend and there were hail storms happening and cars were driving around with slush on the bumpers!

Here are some pics:

5. What's with this? Protesters that know how to spell???

What's the world coming to? Who are these people?

Who do they think they're fooling, pretending to have a brain and then actually using it?

I bet they're protesting AGAINST the people and things that actually do them harm and FOR the things and people that are trying to help them.

Who are they to pretend that up is up and down is down?

Somebody give me a reality pill, I think I'm about to have an attack of something.

10. It looks so warm and pleasant there!

In Olympia, it was f*****g cold all damn day. We pro-labor supporters joked that our sheer numbers were enough to keep us warm, but it was still bone-chilling cold most of the time.

:scared:

16. Stop punishing workers for wallstreet crimes.

That one hits right at the heart of it, doesn't it?

17. That one jumped out at me, too. It's at the center of the whole clusterf**k, actually.

Everyone can name at least one teacher they remember fondly. You're going to be hard-pressed to name one hedge fund manager who you think of with such kindness.

Oh, but we must all kiss Wall Street's ass very lovingly on a daily basis because THESE are the types of people who CREATE JOBS! (ha) And we mustn't EVER "look back" because, well, we've been told that we're just not supposed to.
