"Tahrir came to America" ​​- the third day in a small park on Manhattan's seething debate and discussion. Participants in the American "day of wrath" had occupied it and renamed Liberty Plaza - stressing its relationship with the Egyptian area Tahrir (Liberty) and areas of Spain (Plaza). Day and night, under the supervision of the police is frantically argue about the future of America. Previously unfamiliar people are trying to reach "a common denominator" of requirements and how to achieve them. People are sleeping in cardboard boxes, sleeping bags, just on the lawn, cutting down only in the morning after heated debate. Bumping on Saturday during a declared "occupation Wall Street" on the police barricades, the participants in the evening in small groups scattered throughout lower Manhattan, occupying parks, gardens, sidewalks. Police checkpoints are expected not particularly surprised by the participants. On Saturday around noon, approximately a thousand protesters tried to go to Wall Street, expanding the red and American flags, chanting slogans of "people instead of profit", but were stopped by barriers. Then they broke into groups, discussing, debating about the goals of the event. Immediately began handing out sandwiches, oranges, bananas, and not paying attention to the calls (contrary to each other under an hour) from megaphones. Other groups, firms throughout the day from different directions, met the same picture - the dense ranks of the police. Two demonstrators tried to break into the masks 'Bank of America', but were arrested. At 9 pm police said that if participants do not leave the occupied squares by 10 o'clock, they will be arrested. The protesters began to chant, that will not go away and "will remain in the spirit of protest in Tahrir Square." Lined up to attack the police suddenly changed its mind and allowed the protesters to sleep on the benches and lawns. Throughout Lower Manhattan, mobile telephony and the Internet have been blocked (supposedly, in the technical and proactive). Almost all of the media ignored the event together, and only in the evening on Sunday, when the tension eased, and the flow of new members has begun to decline, mainstream media broke scathing commentary: "Several hundred teenagers aged hippie and decided to mindlessly copy the experience of Egypt and Spain, not taking into account the reality of the American ". In fact, the total number of participants in the American day of wrath was about 5000, scattered in different parks and squares. "This is just the beginning. We're not going to go away. We will live here for months if need be. " One group of residents of Manhattan in the evening began to bring warm clothes, hot meals for the participants, others lined with American flags near the occupied squares and shouting "patriotic" slogans and demanded to purge the city from the "left-wing rabble." Organizers of the action themselves admit that they overestimated the number of potential "network mobilization." "On the one hand to the proper organization of protests to think everything through in advance, on the other side - the authorities have time to prepare." "The events in Egypt and Spain were still whip up some painful at the moment for public events in those countries. Last days of the entire American press was trying not to tell that can cause emotional anger the Americans. " But the American Tahrir continues. While some people go home, others are sent only with sleeping bags in Manhattan.

If people do not raise their asses - and nothing good will happen. " "I zadolbali these corporations that (*)(*)(*)(*) all. Only a few people own almost all the wealth of the country - what kind of democracy there can there be? "- 18-year-old student Jack Laksono. "The optimism - that's what brought us here - said the 40-year-old Dan Brick with eight-son in a stroller, which is attached to the poster" The oligarchy does harm to children and all living beings on the planet. " "Although it must be noted that in the crowd of protesters there is complete innocence" - a smile, says Dan. "Like almost all the guys our age, we have a university degree, but have no work" - said Patrick Brunner from Tucson (Arizona), who recently moved to Brooklyn. He and his comrades are going to stay here as long as possible. By Monday, protesters released a joint statement. "We want freedom for all, regardless of the identity - we are all humans and no other excuse we do not need. Freedom taken away from people, giving her only occasionally, and will give all the smaller portions, if people do not get mad, as it should. Policy is driven by money. In fact, money has always been part of the capitalist system. A system based on the fact that someone has everything, but someone did, a system in which inequality is inherently - will inevitably lead to the fact that having all find a way to come to power - not by the sword, so the dollar. We agree that we need electoral reform, but the proposed version of the reform ignores the reasons that led to the current state of affairs. You can blame our Federal Reserve, but the current political system has arisen precisely because of the financial manipulations of the rich. And the corporation, even if they make it impossible to compete in the political arena, will still continue to monitor the society itself. They will levers of economic control. Therefore, partial restrictions would not solve the problems of corporations, and many of the political elite have so go out of politics - the corporate elite. "

Well, the Revolution "long breath" ... 23-year-old from Brooklyn, Shin also intends to remain in the park until the end, "Perhaps apathy and passivity of the population is also due to the fact that we realized the futility of fighting and half with individual and specific manifestations of injustice, demand change of the political and economic system country, but we will wait for us to join the majority of Americans who are also fed up with the power of corporations over politics. We will not go away. " "In addition, there fun, here are the people I wanted to see" - laughing, adds it to the guy. Debate in the occupied parks, anti-war song with a guitar, the pieces of pizza from a nearby pizzeria, decided to feed the protesters. Disputes between the elderly protesters against the Vietnam War and young punks do not die down until almost morning. Act quickly and decisively, albeit by a small group or take the system into submission? - If not now, when? - Who has come a long way to go - he does not hurry up ....
