they're currently claiming one of the protesters is in the hospital in critical condition due to police brutality. The media isn't covering this at all, which may be a good thing -- nothing in the way of publicity to encourage them.Something tells me, this may not be over, though.

If it WERE true, the lame stream media would be on it like white on rice.
Have you heard about the Wall Street protest in lower Manhattan called “Occupy Wall Street”? It started Saturday, and it basically is a protest against greed and corruption in the financial markets. The Wall Street protests really haven’t gotten much attention from the mainstream media (MSM). I wouldn’t call it a media blackout, but it sure looks gray to me. Organizations such as Forbes, CNN and ABC have covered the protest that was still going on yesterday. Saturday was the opening day, and that was the biggest turnout. (Click here to view coverage from CNN.) A friend of mine from Brooklyn told me that the coverage locally was pretty light. Yet, this is a story where reportedly the NYPD arrested nearly a dozen people, and traffic snarled for a few hours. Monday, the International Business Times reported a much different story than American media. It said, “When the protest [Wall Street Protests] began over the weekend, several thousand showed up in New York’s Financial District, protesting with signs like “JUST BECAUSE WE CAN’T SEE IT DOESN’T MEAN IT’S NOT HAPPENING” and “WALL STREET IS OUR STREET.” Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange weren’t open when the largest crowds kicked off the movement over the weekend. By Monday, the group’s numbers were smaller, but the presence of protesters led New York Police to barricade blocks around Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange, forcing residents and workers to show identification to enter the zone. The group has said it plans to turn Lower Manhattan into an “American Tahrir Square.” (Click here for the complete IBTimes.com story.)
Wall Street was blocked off by the New York City Police Department for a second day in a row as demonstration organizers-primarily from the group OccupyWallStreet-targeting Wall Street financial firms tried to keep up protests.

An additional group of people marched uptown on Broadway with signs reading "end corporate welfare" and "we are too big to fail.""People have a right to protest, and if they want to protest, we'll be happy to make sure they have locations to do it," said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at a Sept. 15 press conference. "As long as they do it where other people's rights are respected, this is the place where people can speak their minds, and that's what makes New York, New York."
