This story by Jim Quinn about his trip to New York City last weekend to visit the Occupy Wall Street protest was in the links section here the other day, but I just got around to reading it a short time ago. Filled with dozens of pictures like the one below, it’s well worth the time to read in order to get a different perspective of what the protest is all about.
The picture above caught my eye – the juxtaposition of an OWS protester’s cardboard boxes and a Brooks Brothers store along with a Vietnam veteran (who was yelling that this isn’t the country he fought for) and the omnipresent NYPD.

That was a good read, with nice pictures too. I’m also glad that he found the true meaning of the protestors’ message; they are not anti-capitalist, they are anti-corporatist.
Who are “they”, and how do you know that “they” are all there for the same reasons? There are interviews where some say they want a “commie” system and that we should just all share everything.
How much more anticapitalist does it get?
