Ok. so. I happened to be down by battery park last night and walking uptown, so I walked up by occupy wall street. Now, it hurt a lot to look at. Not for being small, I can't blame them for that right now, but because they were inside police barriers, the metal movable fence thingies. Seriously, "free speech" confined to a cage? there were plenty of police watching this small group, stuck inside a fence, sitting there and occasionally shouting something. Fortunately, it was a gorgeous night out, so the lack of equipment wasn't going to be too bad.
And the bull has similar fencing to keep the vandals away (especially around the back side).
