The New York Times<\/a> reports that the months-in-planning “Day of Rage” that the hacker group Anonymous sponsored in New York City in the financial district kind of sputtered out when protesters discovered their access to parts of Wall Street was denied by police officers who beat them to the area;<\/p>\n

By 10 a.m., metal barricades manned by police officers ringed the blocks of Wall Street between Broadway and William Street to the east. (In a statement, Paul J. Browne, the Police Department\u2019s chief spokesman said, \u201cA protest area was established on Broad Street at Exchange Street, next to the stock exchange, but protesters elected not to use it.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Organizers, promoters and supporters called the day, which had been widely discussed on Twitter and other social media sites, simply September 17. Some referred to it as the United States Day of Rage, an apparent reference to a series of disruptive protests against the Vietnam War held in Chicago in 1969.<\/p>\n

The idea, according to some organizers, was to camp out for weeks or even months to replicate the kind, if not the scale, of protests that erupted earlier this year in places as varied as Egypt, Spain and Israel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s what we need the spectacle of filthy hippies camped out in the world’s richest city. It’s bad enough that our government is leading us to third world status, we don’t need halfwit hippies driving the hand basket.<\/p>\n

Daniel sends us a link to some first hand reporting from Business Insider<\/a> complete with pictures.<\/p>\n

I noticed that Workers World party took the opportunity to preach to us about how “A job is a right”. I wonder if they think that gun ownership is a right, too.<\/p>\n

I snagged one picture of special interest to us filthy hippie haters. I put it below the jump for a single reason…once you see it, you can’t unsee it, so you have to consciously make the decision that you want to see the picture below the jump. It’s probably not safe for work, and you’ll need a gallon jug of eye bleach handy. And maybe a barf bag, too.
