I arrived to New York city on friday night just before the massive riots. So I woke up early, took a subway to downtown and joined thousands of protesters. We walked through the whole Manhattan, what a perfect way for a sightseing for a first time visitor ;)
Even that the protest was very calm there was hundreds of police officers, horses, cars and even FBI.. And when te night fell and we reached the Times Square they took action and pressed people tight so that there was a sudden panic among protesters. I was a little bit too close and almost got stuck but eventually found my way out.. Hectic!
I truly believe this cause. I believe that people got really too greedy. Not only investment banks but all of us. We all forgot that money doesn't bring us happines and that we don't really need that much. We forgot that we should keep our trust in God, not in money. So this is the consequense, money failed us. And those who created this massive depression got away and we are left to pay the bills. And this is wrong. In US there are hundreds of thousands of people without home, they have lost everything. And that is the limit.. everyone should have the right to a home to live in and food to eat.
Check the action page, these protests are spreading all over the world :)
