Joining legions of like-minded protesters across the country, Detroit became "occupied" on Friday.

Hundreds of grassroots activists marched on Woodward, set up camp in Grand Circus Park and proclaimed they are fed up with corporate greed, social injustice and the gulf between the rich and poor.

Known as Occupy Detroit, most participants said they want a revolution.

"How many more of my neighbors have to be foreclosed on before we've had enough?" said Lee Gaddies, 41, of Detroit. "How many more jobs have to be shipped overseas before we've had enough? People are finally fed up. The bottom has fallen out.

"This is about regular people who are hurting, and we have to do something about it."
