"SHOW ME THE MONEY"

If you've been following the news recently, one of the big bulletins is the Wall Street protests. US citizens from all backgrounds staging non-violent protests against the poor standards of Americas economic, financial, social and cultural systems. Major concerns are over corporate greed especially on wealth inequality, white-collar corruption, control of Congress by Wall St fatcats and universally shitty healthcare system.

These protests are pretty fucking intense. It first started with about 100 protesters confined to Wall St 2 weeks ago however the movement has grown exponentially to thousands of students, middle-wage employees, government employees etcetc and its also tricked to many other states and capitals around the US. The US Transit Union have sued the police force by forcibly commandeering buses to load up arrested protesters (shits about to go down lol). There's also been talk about protests outside the london stock exchange, aussie stock exchange and tokyo nikkei.

One of the things highlighted by the recent protests is police brutality. I mean shit like this always happens but in the digital age where camera phones are so easily accessed to record evidence and the internet/social connections in spreading such acts it's been a shitstorm.

the video below shows Sam Flynn(is this fucking tron?LOL) the kid in orange getting knocked the fuck down by a copper for doing nothing lololol:




girls gettting round up and pepper-fucking-sprayed LOLWTF?



thats some crazy shit right there!

using the internet, a US Marine has offered his help by creating a buffer between the protesters and the police to try calm things down:

“I’m heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform.

I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress:

I didn’t fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it’s Congress’ turn.

My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the [effing] Marine Corps first. Let’s see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets.

I apologize now for typos and errors. Typing this on iPhone whilst heading to NYC. We can organize once we’re there. That’s what we do best.If you see someone in uniform, gather together."
is this legit?

FUUARRRRK SHITS ABOUT TO GET ROWDY!
