October 5th

My heart is pounding, I have lumps in my throat, my stomach is churning and I'm not even there. Watching the livestream, reading twitter, and watching the youtube videos of police violence has been nerve wracking, but I can't turn away.

I'm a witness to the events of tonight. It feels like I'm there with them, when I'm actually miles away.

Yet the mainstream media and Barack Obama are still diminishing what's going on.

Today reports of 50,000 people marched together, in solidarity. Union workers, nurses, teachers, students, unemployed Americans, vets all in one unit peacefully, democratically sending a message together. People are still ignoring what's going on!

Now to touch on the not so heartwarming part of today's events. After a very peaceful march, demonstrators tried to converge on Wall Street, and the Police used the opportunity to act like babaric assholes with daddy issues. Beating, macing and pushing otherwise peaceful protests, just like the bullies they are. Lucky for them, it was all caught on video, and they weren't as smart as the G20 police were, it won't be that hard to find them.

This movement isn't going anywhere, it's only getting stronger, and on October 15 the world will join in.
