While the debate about the (sub) media and the real importance of the movement Occupy Wall Street swells, the day of Monday, October 10 was marked by support brand and an encouraging message to the demonstrators from the Mayor New York Michael Bloomberg.
The rapper Kanye West and star presenter Al Sharpton visited the protesters, while Bloomberg said that they could continue their movement as much as they wanted, reports the Wall Street Journal: “In the end, people have the right to expression. And as long as they obey the law, we let them. If they break the law, we do what we are supposed to do: enforce the law. “When asked how long the protesters would still remain, the mayor of New York said:” I think it to do with the weather. “the crowd, encouraged by the visits of celebrities, has actually shown no signs of fatigue at this sunny day.
NBC New York reports that Kanye West made a tour of the camp and shook hands but did not sing. New York Magazine noted the irony: the rapper was wearing his usual chains and gold teeth in a protest against the inequalities of wealth. West was joined by Russell Simmons, founder of legendary hip-hop label Def Jam Recordings, whose assets totaled $ 340 million according to a recent portrait of CNN Money.
The events in New York are not the only ones to keep up. Monday saw an increase in the size of demonstrations across the United States, not just in big cities. The movement seems to be everywhere, to “Occupy Fort Collins” in Colorado to “Occupy Fort Myers” in Florida through “Occupy Fort Worth” Texas.
