my favorite hero summing up how i feel about my daily life.

A businessman tries to break through a line of Occupy Wall Street protesters who had blocked access to the New York Stock Exchange.
This is my favorite one so far because it sums up the movement in one image.
This middle-aged white guy in a suit is literally FORCING himself through a wall of people to get to work and make money for the richest people in our country.
Your days of playing Red Rover in kindergarten were not wasted, y’all.
ok
look.
I’m not a fan of wealth inequality at all.
But this guy is literally just trying to get to work!
He may have a family he needs to care for, and we have no way of knowing how rich he actually is or whether he’s really “making money for the richest people in our country”. Working in the NYSE is not a guarantee that you are rich. Simply wearing a suit and working in a particular place does not make him the villain.
You don’t know this guy, you don’t know the circumstances he lives in. How would you react if someone made a human chain outside your place of work and tried to bar you from entering?
Chances are you wouldn’t just smile nicely and politely consider their points. You’d want to get to work to provide for yourself and the people you love. Yes, maybe he should have reacted nicer, but for all we know he tried that and it didn’t work. You don’t know anything about him and his circumstances.
The protesters are being assholes in this case, plain and simple.
preach.

Alleged Assassination Attempt of the Day: Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, the 21-year-old Idaho Falls resident who allegedly fired several shots at the White House last Friday, was charged today with attempting to assassinate the President or his staff.
The Obamas and their children were not in D.C. at the time of the shooting.
Ortega-Hernandez, who was arrested yesterday afternoon in Indiana, PA, has a history of mental health issues, and, according to acquaintances, referred to Obama as the “anti-Christ,” and believed he was on a mission from God.
Ortega-Hernandez is accused of firing as many as nine bullets at the White House, including one that hit the living quarters but was stopped by bulletpoof glass. “FBI investigators conducted a search of the area around the White House and located several confirmed bullet impact points on the south side of the building above the second story,” said FBI agent Chris Ormerod according to court documents.
The suspect was taken into custody following a 12-minute hearing, and will be transported back to Washington D.C., where his trial will take place. If convicted, Ortega-Hernandez faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.
