First of all, the key word is "peaceable." Then they still have to follow local laws and cannot impede traffic. Permits are required in cases of using the streets.
They were probably angry about the $5 debit fees. ing pirates.

Then they can take their banking elsewhere.
If, in mass, BA loses checking accounts to other banks, the whole industry will think twice before other banks implementing a similar charge.
Besides. They don't need to use debit. Start using cash.
I plan on taking my business from wells fargo to a credit union if they start charging me to use my debit card imho. It's not really the 5 bucks it's the principal of the matter, you aren't going to charge me to use my cash in a world where everyone uses plastic as a subs ute to cash whenever you're already making money off of me just having my money deposited in the first place.
Anyone have a transcript of the protests?
Yah, it's called sarcasm you ing idiot.
Here's a first-person account from a protester that was arrested in NYC:
At this point people began to line up in order to leave the bridge willingly. The officers were only letting about five people at a time leave. Several minutes passed and suddenly they quit letting people leave. A white shirted officer began to shout to the rear of the crowd, “You wanted to stay! Now you’re staying! You’re all getting arrested!” Many people in the rear of the crowd began to freak out – many were crying and begging to leave willingly.
I contemplated what to do. In my mind it would be better for me to willingly turn myself in so that I could leave sooner and show that I was not resisting arrest, and explain that I was there to do ent and take photos. I was then yelled at by the same white-shirt that yelled at the crowd earlier, “You wanna go in? Ok, then step right up”, as if I was insincere about my willingness to go in

What exactly is the point of these protests supposed to be?
Some people are pissed at Wall Street, it seems.
"What exactly is the point of these protests supposed to be"
As with any protest movement, there's a diversity of issues.
But unlike the shilling/duped tea baggers, the Occupy Wall St crowd is accurately targeting a diversity of crimes, frauds, abuses of the financial sector, along with protesting the Banksters' Great Jobs Depression.
Its a byproduct of a political system where people do not feel represented.
"people do not feel represented"
Feel? Human-Americans are NOT represented, and the observant ones know it.
Corporate-Americans' votes-with-$$ decide who gets elected and then who gets screwed, and who gets protected/enriched by government s.

As the Occupy Wall Street protests, which began on Sept. 17, lurch into their third week, it is often the white shirts who lay hands on protesters or initiate arrests. Video recordings of clashes have shown white shirts — lieutenants, captains or inspectors — leading underlings into the fray.
White shirts led the face-off with protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday afternoon. The episode provided no viral YouTube moments, as the senior officers avoided confrontations with the demonstrators. Yet as hundreds of arrests were made, chants of “white shirts, white shirts” could be heard.
And a white shirt is the antagonist in the demonstrations’ defining image: Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna’s dousing of some penned-in women with pepper spray on Sept. 24, which seemed to surprise at least one of the blue shirts standing near him on East 12th Street, near University Place. The department is investigating the spraying.
Martin R. Stolar, a member of the National Lawyers Guild who is representing protesters, said, “It appears that it is white shirts that are directing the rough arrests.” To him, their actions cons ute a policy from on high. Even the chief of department, Joseph J. Esposito, the highest-ranking officer, was mixing with marchers last Saturday, briefly holding two people by the arm and directing their arrests.

I'd like to ask that to everyone over there doing this. What exactly is the point? I wonder if they'd answer it without looking at each other for help.
"I'd like to ask that to everyone over there doing this. What exactly is the point?"
Did you have the same curiosity about tea bagger "morans" points?
Anyone else think these protests are about three years late? WTF?
About 15 years late, tbh.
I find it unbelievable that pigs can maintain their job without being a t a little lean and at least a little athletic.New York's Finest Porkers!

Even Ed Schultz is calling out the protesters. Heard him on his radio program today. He didn't call them stupid, but he was obviously thinking such things and would have used some name calling if they were of the other political side.
"he was obviously thinking such things"
obvious to mind-reader WC?
Who is Ed Schultz?

This is just the beginning. As this country falls further and further, there will be more protests and violence.
