'Clean up Wall Street' - OWS pics

Spray cleanser on the wall near the Occupy Wall Street protest on November 2, 2011 in New York. Protesters later took the cleanser and with brooms cleaned and swept the sidewalks along Wall Street.


Protesters from Occupy Wall Street march past the New York Stock Exchange carrying brooms November 2, 2011 in New York. The protesters swept and scrubbed the sidewalks as they chanted 'Clean up Wall Street.'

1. They're gonna need MUCH bigger brooms and stronger disinfectant to clean up the mess at the NYSE.
But, it's a great first effort. Right message - keep it up.

2. When I was in college, I worked on the cleaning crew at a slaughter house one night
I would imagine cleaning Wall Street would come very close to the kind of "mess" I had to clean up! x(

3. That's a good metaphor for the place where they do arbitrage at the Abittoir

I've always been struck by the Bulls vs the Bears imagery of the place (I worked as a clerk for a while on the Exchange Floor between High School and college - that was before the bronze statue was put in.)

"abattre"

Fr., Definition: to pull, knock, cut down; slaughter; weaken, drain of energy.

5. The right-wing anti-OWS mob has the gall to call the protesters dirty hippies
OWS is 100x cleaner than all the criminal fat cats put together!
