Occupying Wall Street, demanding accountability

(CNN) -- Hero Vincent has a dream: to see the titans of Wall Street trade their palatial office suites for a row of dank prison cells. The crime? Theft. Stealing billion-dollar, taxpayer-funded bailouts. Getting rich on your dime while you struggle to make ends meet. And if you're tired of standing by while the rich get richer and the middle class crumbles, he has a suggestion: Take it to the streets. Vincent, 21 and unemployed, has suddenly become one of several unofficial spokesmen for Occupy Wall Street, a leaderless protest movement made largely of twenty-somethings upset with the state of the economy, the state of the war in Afghanistan, the state of the environment, and the state of America and the world in general.

If that sounds vague, it's meant to be. In less than three weeks, the movement has become a magnet for countless disaffected Americans. And at a time when an overwhelming majority of Americans say the country's on the wrong track, there's no shortage of new potential recruits. On Saturday, more than 700 protesters were arrested for blocking the Brooklyn Bridge. A splinter group called Occupy Chicago touted a "huge afternoon march." In Boston, 34 groups -- unions and other organizations focused on everything from foreclosure prevention to climate change -- marched for "an economy that works for all of us," according to one website.

Over on the West Coast, Occupy Los Angeles kicked off with a march to City Hall. In Seattle, demonstrators touted "a leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors (and) genders." On Monday, a live video feed from Occupy Wall Street was featured at the start of a three-day conference of progressive leaders in Washington.

What does it all mean? "We're here for different reasons," said Vincent, whose father is also unemployed and recently went through a home foreclosure. "But at the end of the day, it all boils down to one thing, and that's accountability. We want accountability for the connection between Wall Street and the politicians." "Something has to change," he told CNN. "We're out here because we're tired of what's been going on."

Lets DU Bomb this story!

2. We all have to do what we can! I'd be there if I could but I have bills to pay or I would stop

working and get more involved not that I don't here and in other places and ways. I did send money through The Official Website of the GA at #OccupyWallStreet DONATE]

3. nah man... you didn't need to say all that. I Know you'd be there

I'm not there either... we do what we can.

4. Let CNN rot in irrelevance

Many-to-many is replacing one-to-many. CNN is one-to-many.

Television is like a fun-house mirror -- it can't help but distort.

5. CNN is a right wing media outlet, second only to WingNut Central Faux News

I quit watching that network 2 or 3 years ago when I noticed the change. I occasionally take a peek for a few minutes just to confirm and sure enough they've moved even MORE to the right than when I quit watching their channel.

Isn't it funny how Faux, CNN and the other right wing channels are on all tiers from your cable or satellite provider but MSNBC is not; you have to pay more to get liberal balanced coverage.

6. You are probably right but this is the Media the Evil Overlords have given us

8:15 PDT capture

8. All we'll get is distortion and outright lies from the M$M - we need to use other outlets

The corporate-owned media cannot be trusted. Period.

7. if there's marching going on it makes total sense to include the

local RW radio stations - those are GOP headquarters and the main sellers of wall street greed and deregulation the last 20 years
