Control of the media...

"@JPBarlow: There are reports that the NYPD are trying to keep media from parking feed trucks near #takewallstreet"

Step in the closing of any society.

1. Footage is extremely difficult to come by.

There's a rumor on Skins's island that right now, there's 500,000 camped on Wall Street.

I'm checking it out.

Massive Wall Street Protest Draws Over 20,000

Allison Kilkenny on Friday, May 13, 2011 - 10:34

More than 20,000 protesters descended upon Wall Street Thursday to demand an end to Mayor Bloombergâ€™s draconian education cuts and his soft touch approach to billion-dollar companies.

The May 12 event began as a series of splinter cell protests in the radius surrounding Wall Street that ultimately converged on the financial district.

If the last protest was MASSIVE, then 500,000 will be ultra-super-ginormous. :-)

Kick four zeros out of there, and you might be closer to the truth. :-) :fuelfire:

If you can see it on television, what'll you suppose it is?

Maybe something around.....a thousand?

We're currently outnumbered 3-to-1.
