Occupy Earth

The occupy wall street movement has inspired more than just a couple of young americans to move. This has awakened the minds and has caused the voices of thousands to erupt. In over 951 cities across 82 countries, protests like occupy wall street have spurred. This Saturday developed into global protest. London, Madrid, Stockholm, Hong kong, Tokyo and our own Chicago have been brought to new tensions from the growing number of protesters.

They call themselves the 99%, we are the ones who should be able to have a voice and now bail the financial errors of the 1% percent. There is an overall frustration with the way the country is being led right now.

Most of the protest have been peaceful except for the protest in Rome, Italy where anarchists torched cars and threw molotov bombs at the police. The group is known as {black bloc}. Two men had to be hospitalized and another two also lost part of their hands.

In summary, this is very new. Never in our history has so many across borders come together with one voice to fight what they want for. It seems like we might be able to forget our nationalistic views and come together. The future looks grim, a future where clash between the rich and poor will be inevitable.
