Some photos and videos from the first day.

I'm not going to try and out-do the people who are really into photography. These are just some snapshots with some snarky comments.
I also have a bunch of videos at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC3D638E000B17BB6&feature=mh_lolz
I think the left are really missing out on this one. Where are you all?
The demands recently came out, and they were kind of moderate, but aligned with the social democrat platform. So what's the problem?
First pic - to go along with the theme, I parked my car on Wall St. Wall St in LA terminates at the edge of Skid Row, and it's in the toy district. Except this corner seems to have become the bong wholesaler district.

Another view of Wall St. At night a lot of people sleep on the sidewalks here too, but the politicians don't pay attention to the homeless unless they get in the way of gentrification.

That's how I feel, too. Best use of packaging tape for signmaking, too.

This hot dog truck gave away free weenies. On the other side of the park, unlicensed vendors selling bacon dogs were wanting for customers. The government has "selected" this truck vendor to be the local top dog, and in return, they provide some limited social welfare (free dogs). Meanwhile, "illegal" peasants suffer a loss in business. It's not seen as a problem, or different people see different problems.

Sign gets bonus points for spelling and syntax.
Not entirely clear on what they remember about the guillotine though. Most oligarchs seem to build up private armies and pay soldiers to shoot people.

It makes him look like Guy Fawkes contemplating the signs.
I don't really understand Anonymous' politics.

There's always someone with a sign or flyer with Mussolini's explanation of facsism.
Do they know about the collaboration between the police and gangs of thugs that would go and beat up dissenters?

Isn't it always that way?
