The AP is reporting that spectators are flocking to New York City’s neweset tourist attraction: the Occupy Wall Street protest.
Double-decker busses routinely drive down Broadway, past the Eastern edge of Zuccotti Park. Shawn Lahey, a factory worker from Poughkeepsie, NY, watched a “dancing man holding a pole marked ‘corporation,’ attached to a noose marked ‘financial system’ — from which another dancing man was ‘hanging.’”
“I think it’s great — they’re trying to make a point,” Lahey said, adding “I don’t think it’ll make any difference … The government won’t make any changes, because it’s all about money.”
