PROVIDENCE, R.I.—The Occupy Wall Street movement made its mark Saturday in Rhode Island, as well over 1,000 protesters with the group Occupy Providence marched peacefully through the capital city then set up camp in a city park. Stopping outside Bank of America, the Providence Place Mall and the Statehouse, among other locations, the marchers decried "corporate greed" and celebrated democracy. They said they represent the 99 percent of the country that is disenfranchised as the U.S. economy and government have become dominated by corporate interests.
That's so cute of Providence, pretending like they're a real big city and not more like Worcester than Boston. Seriously, if you think Boston has a New York inferiority complex, it's nothing compared to Providence's Boston complex.
How can you not laugh at this? New York protestors are outside Wall Street, the financial center of the world, Boston protestors are outside our Financial district, while not as big as NY's, still respectable...and Providence protestors are outside the mall...Yea, the Mall. Protesting the GAP and Forever 21. Way to be heard Providence. Did you all duck into Fire and Ice after for a nice buffet?
If you're in Providence and are going to protest how do you not focus on workers rights for Rub N' Tug girls and even looser legislation for all the Under-21 bars throughout the city?
