The Amendments

Mayor Reed has no right to dismiss the protestors unless they are violating any laws themselves. On that note I think this whole 99% thing is getting a little ridiculous when I was reding up on it. People themselves made decisions in their life that led them in to debt as well and people should be responsible for their own actions. I am not comending what the government did when they bailed out the big companies, but I think what they should have done was manage it so the people who were responisble for the downfall of the economy don't receive big bonus' and pay raises. The government and businesses should have come up with a plan that would make this lending responsible to the citizens of Ameirca. Back to the topic at hand, Citizens have the right to speak freely and protest on matters such as this. They don't have the right to obstruct justice and, to put it lightly, camp out like hobos in tents and such. I guess you can consider these people like the hippies in the 70's who protested in large numbers over the korean war. I think the protest now will eventually fade out because in all honesty what can the government do. I will say that if these conditions do not change then we might end up witnessing something along the likes of a revolution if the numbers are there.
