At
Occupy
Wall Street in
Oakland Echo,
Goldman Sachs
Indictment

WALL
STREET,
October 26 --
As the Occupy
movement
spreads from
coast to
coast, an
attack in
Oakland,
California on
protesters
Tuesday night
was the buzz
of an
impromptu
march on New
York's lower
Broadway on
Wednesday
night.
Amid
chants of
"New York is
open, open is
New York,"
demonstrators
moved
freely with a
growing police
presence
behind them.
Inner City
Press
photographed,
beside City
Hall, police
horses of the
type injured
in
Times Square
only ten days
ago.
Down
in Zuccotti
Park. riot
police with
white plastic
handcuffs
stood in
groups on
Liberty
Street. "Join
us!" several
protesters
called to
them. "They'll
cut your
pensions too!"
At
times the
focus
on the
financial
giants which
triggered but
dodged the
world
financial
crisis slither
out of focus.
But a
"people's
indictment" of
Goldman Sachs
is scheduled
for November
3.
Much of the
talk was of
Iraq war
veteran Scott
Olson being
put into a
coma with a
skull
fractured by a
"police
projectile" in
Oakland. More
than one
marcher
wondered if it
would be
raised at the
United
Nations,
barely a
hundred blocks
uptown.

Just
another
Wednesday
night at #OWS,
NY is open,
open is NY
Earlier
on
Wednesday a
block from the
UN, a couple
mused about
the
movement. One
said it would
help Obama, by
shifting the
media's
debate from
the national
debt to jobs.
The other was
curious, how
people could
indict a bank
without a
court. We'll
see on
November 3.
Ironically,
the Goldman
Sachs director
indicted and
arrested on
Wednesday for
insider
trading, Raj
Gupta, was and
is still
listed as a UN
adviser on
management.
Inner City
Press asked
the UN
spokesman
about it on
Wednesday, but
he had no
comment.
Occupy the UN?
