*from april 2010, when a few friends & i protested outside borders in logan, where karl rove came to sign his new book.*
so i love peaceful protesting. it really is kind of the best. especially in today's world, where it seems like there's nothing else you CAN do. for those who haven't heard about occupy wall street, for 3 weeks now protesters have camped out on wall street, peacefully protesting against the rich crooks of america...the rich 1% who get thousands of dollars for christmas bonuses while the rest of the country still struggles to get on their feet.
it's also protesting the inability of democrats & republicans to agree on anything.. a main reason for why nothing is getting done, and why our country is slowly falling apart.
ironically enough, these protesters are the ones being arrested, not the crooks.
however, the rest of the nation is catching on! starting today, salt lake city will be home to one of the nationwide protests at the capitol building. they will march down to pioneer park where they will protest "however long we have to."
i work today at fox 13, but the second i'm off work i'm heading down there. it's a continual protest, so you can go whenever, at any time, and people will be there.

OCCUPY SLC!!
