"Occupy Denver" is the local protest based on the larger "Occupy Wall Street" protests in New York City.

Protesters say they are a leaderless resistance movement, and the one thing they have in common is they will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of Wall Street.

They should start at the White House first!

A message from anonymous about it:

This is a message from anonymous to the people of New York city, Wall Street and members of the protest. We are crowding your streets, we are filling its veins. This might be painful, but you will not open your eyes so we are being forced to dilate them. This your protest. Welcome your new neighbors for they choose to sleep on the streets for you. They choose to open their mouths when you are too exhausted, they are your brothers. They are here for your benefit, they are young, they are the children of the internet. They are generation zero. They are taking their future back into their hands. They are reviving the country you have long left to rot and whither. Never forget this. Treat them with kindness. Nod your heads in respect to them. Give them water, shake their hands, the smallest gratitude will incite them.

Wall street: four years ago you saw that the country was brittle. You saw that it was ripe for the taking, and so you did. You shattered the country and collected the fragmented pieces to line your pockets. We stand here today, united and strong, 4 years later. We stand before your butcher block, before you slaughter house. Did you think that the people would not come to know what you have done? You sit before your trading screens, before your analysis. You are the players of the game and you play very well, and you rig the game even better. You care very little about the average American, mere pawns, but you have strongly misread the world. Your complete lack of compassion has left you with a grave error. The game is over wall street. You forget that a poor man will slit your belly to eat what you have already eaten. Can you hear us wall street? Can you hear our racket Goldman Sachs? Can you hear the defiant beating of our drums? Keep trying to belittle us pundits, you lap dogs of the elite. Keep trying to sum up this movement in a sound byte. This is a cultural crisis, and you are simply too stupid to understand it. We cannot be frightened by all the kings men for we are the court jesters. We will consume everything you throw at us and we will grow from it. This is our arab spring, this is our time.

Protesters: Savor the smell of tear gas, savor the feeling of pepper spray. Rejoice to your bruises and your tears. You are our generation's counter culture, you are our martyrs. Clench your fists and grind your teeth. Do not be moved and you will have fire breathed into you. Smile at the police, ignore the pundits, the worse it gets the stronger you become, the more hopeless your movement looks, the closer you are to success. You will be written into history. You will be backed up, we will not let your fire be smothered. We will not let your cries go idle.

We are anonymous.

We are legion.

We do not forget.

We do not forgive.

Expect us.

Why don't you look at the site and read their stories, maybe you'll figure it out.

So, they want a free concert. That figures. All that they want is "gimmes".

And i predict that this protest will probably turn violent, since liberals always escalate to violence.

The founding fathers were all about Power to the People, not power to the government and Corporations- which have become the same thing

And you call youselves patriots...Ha

You're Facists

Unions provided a value at one point in the past, today it's all about screwing everybody to line the pockets of the union leaders and members regardless of the cost to others. Unions don't give a crap about human rights, their sole purpose is to get as much as possible for their members and their leaders.

Some Marines will be joining the protest as a first line of defense for the protestors.

“I’m heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform. I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress:I didn’t fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it’s Congress’ turn.

My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the F***ing Marine Corps first. Let’s see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets.I apologize now for typos and errors.

Typing this on iPhone whilst heading to NYC. We can organize once we’re there. That’s what we do best.If you see someone in uniform, gather together.

A formation will be held tonight at 10PM.

We all took an oath to uphold, protect and defend the constitution of this country. That’s what we will be doing."

Interesting, wouldn't those Marines get in some big trouble for attending a demonstration in full uniform? Or even if they are ex-Marines?

No such thing as an ex-Marine 109, unless their discharge was other than honorable that is. If you were ever a part of the corps (the "ps" is silent) you are a Marine for life regardless of how long it has been since your separation date.

I don't know. If this story is true (and not an Onion type of journalism) then we'll soon find out.

The more I read about this, it seems that the Tea Party should be backing this protest, that is if they are not the tools of the establishment or a facsist collective.
