Heaven forbid the police ever arrest the people that actually caused the economic recession. That might make too much sense. Besides, who would then be around to buy corporate sponsored naming rights for public places like subway stations or public bike programs?
Apparently it's a lot more convenient to give corporate crooks and swindlers a free ride with tax breaks and no charges, so they can then turn around and dish out millions to slap their names all over public places. Anyone want to talk about how less corrupt the US is compared to other parts of the world?
Anti-Wall Street demonstrators of the Occupy Chicago movement stood their ground in a downtown park in noisy but peaceful defiance of police orders to clear out, prompting 130 arrests early Sunday, authorities said.
Occupy Chicago spokesman Joshua Kaunert vowed after the arrests that protests would continue in the Midwest city.
"We're not going anywhere. There are still plenty of us," Kaunert told The Associated Press after the arrests, which took police more than an hour to complete.
