Occupy Boston joins Wall Street protest movement

[boston bean]

Occupy Boston held their first protest last night at Dewey Square across the street from the Federal Reserve building and South Station and quickly spread around the city to include the City Hall area and Federal office buildings nearby.

I walked out of South Station at 6:00 and there were what looked like police “swat teams” stationed on both sides of the exit. Hovering over Dewey Square were at least three helicopters. Uniformed Police Officers gathered on the perimeter of the square, watching as protesters gathered for a night of civil disobedience.

The youngest protester was a little girl just old enough to walk. This little girl waddled around Dewey Square squirming with innocence and joy. As I watched this child move around the square, I thought about the dismal future she faces if the “occupy” movement fails.

The oldest protesters were die-hard hippies who, after 50 years, are still fighting the establishment. As I watched these aging hippies move around the square, I thought about the dismal future they face if the “occupy” movement fails.
