6:13 pm
of being anarchist and disorganized the occupy wall street encounter is far from chaotic it is set up like a small village broken up into themed sections way better organized and i thought it would be. they really have it set up so that there isn't a clear leader in the organization the way that it's being done but at the same guy . every part seems to be handled by someone in the medical area staffed by volunteers provides on the spot assistance a conference area supplies sweaters embroidered kits to keep demonstrators warm as the season gets chilly or while the door needed sleeping bags pile up as the number of protesters grows bigger we just took the charge in terms of you from richard richard. the kitchen providing a traditional american breakfast bread bagels and peanut butter and jelly plant groups are used to filter water here we have breakfast seven thirty in the morning

6:18 pm
genesis of a bigger movements it's been going on for a couple weeks and every day gets larger and larger so. i think eventually it'll bring results i think there's a large amount of discontent with what's going on in this country and i think this is so people can identify me like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it only since of a rally point i think that this is this is going to draw attention calls are going to draw people and whether or not you agree with their methods the bottom line is these people are getting the word out. and you can head to our twitter feed to get more on the ongoing anti corporate protests around the u.s. and our correspondents are often latest and share what they see. some of these one in one of her tweets that says washington d.c. and space museum have been closed after angry protesters try to enter with plot cards and follow us on twitter and are here in this cold to get. this particular.
