The lead that I picked up from a protester came true, but the choice to not cover was a good one. Seven hundred people were arrested, when they attempted to cross the Brooklyn Bridge to protest. I wonder if Trevor went to protest and I hope he is ok. Knowing what happed and it is easy to read about it and feel sorry for all those people who got arrested, but it is a different story when you talked to one of them and see the human in at least one of them. It makes you think it makes you feel what they feel that they are protesting because something is wrong, someone is doing something wrong to make “normal” humans band together for a cause.
It’s a different point of view when a human element is added to the equation. It’s bad that the police had to arrest seven hundred and eighty people nearly one thousand hard working Americans. Over something that millions of Americans face every day, why are Wall Street messing things up? Why are gas prices going up? Why are things they way they are? Why are people who we trust to stabilize our economy doing such as bad job? These people asked themselves those questions, and decided to do something about it. But in the end it ended it people get arrested, and almost nothing gets done.
