Occupy Wall Street -- just venting

Whereas, according to what I've read, if the police or anyone did anything, than they'd be getting national attention.

Yes, that's pretty much the situation as I understand it. Or it was the situation -- there were some arrests this weekend, and I saw quite a few TV trucks tonight.

Probably the crowd that almost mowed me down was technically an illegal demonstration or march, but stopping them would have caused a ruckus so it was simpler for the city to just let them go. I understand that approach -- up to a point.

I read about it on Bikesnobnyc's blog. He went down there today and took some photos. He also said there was toplessness. (But he did not say who was topless...I presume he'll write about it tomorrow.)

We have our share of protests with street closures here in DC but they tend to be on weekends. I did get stuck in traffic last week thanks to a motorcade, which someone said was the Vice President.

When I first moved here I walked out of work one day in Georgetown and saw sharpshooters on the roofs looking at me. President Clinton and P.M Kohl were having dinner at a nearby restaurant. It was kinda weird, since they still let me walk through the area.

A few photos of the festivities from last week, including one topless lady:
