The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial sector that was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008. It was a component of the government's measures in 2008 to address the subprime mortgage crisis.

Wonderful...thank you. For your information, i have not and wont attend an OWS movement because i strongly believe change is coming anyways...its logical.
Yes people are wrong to perform those acts at your doorstep but lets be honest, if they "gotta go, they gotta go", they sure as hell ain't going to soil themselves are they?
Like i said earlier, i don't agree with the "mess", but they wont be removed under force because the whole thing will blow. The protests will grow exponentially at the brutality.
What i will say though is that i hope any of your children, or future children don't become passionate about being a slave in the system or they may very well find their parent cheering on the violent forced used on them or the support due from the parent turning into laughter and "i told you so's"...
Then you wont mind me making use of your letter box on the route home from the pub?

The whole "protesters are filthy and unruly" is the newest "angle" being used by the elite to find a way to get those not involved in the protests to side with the "authorities" so that they can go on a power bender and remove and bar these folks from protesting and drawing attention to the desperate situation our country is in. It won't work.
Note to elite scum sucking power brokers......you're time is up. Maybe if you step down from power and disappear to your D.U.M.B.S in Paraguay we won't come looking for you to enforce justice for all the murderous and other criminal activity you have been conducting for over a century now. Good luck and good riddance.

I'd really love to star you, but for some reason I cant, so I'll settle for this.
A resolution passed by Community Board 1 during the meeting recognized Occupy Wall Street's First Amendment rights to protest and to assemble, and said it opposed the use of force by the city or by Zuccotti Park's owners to address the community's concerns.
But the resolution also called for protesters to help address the residents' health, public safety, noise and sanitation concerns.
Among the goals detailed in the resolution:
limiting the use of drums, trumpets, bugles and air horns to two hours a day, during midday;
arranging access to bathrooms off-site to eliminate urinating and defecating in doorways of retail shops and residential buildings;
removing police barricades that block access to homes and businesses
In a joint statement released Thursday, State Sen. Daniel Squadron, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer said the resolution "is an attempt to establish a sensible framework that respects the protesters’ fundamental rights while addressing the very real quality of life concerns for residents and businesses around Zuccotti Park."
"Protecting the needs of Lower Manhattan and the rights of OWS do not need to be mutually exclusive," the statement said.
