Wall Street Protests

[DanaC]

Around 500 people marched through Manhattan's Upper East Side, passing the high-rise buildings where many of the executives live. Among them are Paulson, global media mogul Rupert Murdoch, JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon and David Koch, co-founder of energy firm Koch Industries.

The protesters chanted "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out" and "Hey you billionaires, pay your fair share" and carried signs that read "Stop robbing from the middle class to pay the rich" and "We are the 99 percent," a reference to the idea that the top 1 percent of Americans have too much.

Marching past and chanting. Not attempting to gain access, loot and pillage. Marching past and chanting. that does not warrant a shoot to kill policy.

Nor does it warrant the 'Wall Street protesters target homes of top executives' headline.

Walking past highrise buildings where some of the executives live is not the same as targetting their homes.
