Not without a permit, but they said they would stick to the sidewalks and pedestrian walk of the bridge, no permit needed, and not block the bridge. But they have thousands of people here ....

So because there are 'thousand of people', the millions of citizens that live in the city must be continously subjected to marches and actions that negatively affect them and the quality of their life?

Let's call what they are doing what it is, being obstructionists in order to gain attention. Regardless of the cause being worthy or not it is unreasonable to normal people for this to be never ending.

Their lives are not negatively affected, when streets are not blocked, when protests are peaceful, when others are not blocked from their daily activity.

FTFY. You mean like the Tea Party taking over all the healthcare town halls in 2008? God, that was awful! Yes - the protesters are trying to draw attention. And it's not because they are narcissists.

I dont recall the tea party storming bridges

From the NY Daily News blog today

"Over 700 protesters - mostly in their early 20s - are taking part in an energetic rally in Union Square, where our Kerry Burke is on the scene.

Free education is a theme of the speeches. It seems this particular protest was organized by Occupy Wall Street protesters from the New School.

When a young man shouted, "We are the students of New York City and we demand a free education!", the crowd exploded in cheers.

When a young woman from Pratt declared, "Education should be as free as air and water," she was received with big cheers."


Are they aware that:
1. Someone has to pay for all the "free" things in life
2. There is no charge to attend public schools k-12 grade?

The chick from Pratt is particularly galling considering it is about 40k a year to attend. With roughly 5000 students that would be in the $200 million neighborhood that tax payers would be directly responsible for so she can get her degree in something like Fashion Design. I'm guessing that a she comes from a family of 1%'ers

No, they did storm public meetings indoors, though, didn't they? And create "gauntlets" people had to run through. And scream and yell and curse opposing views at the same protests at times.

Oh, yeah, and carry guns in public.

It bounces around way too much for me. It is like helmet cam on jockeys without the horses.
