LOL at me sending these protesters food when there are actual, real life hungry people (homeless, near homeless, etc.) who need it.
LOL. These protests seem to be nothing more an outcry of frustration by a very small, misguided segment of society. The general themes I've noticed with the protests is anti-corporate bailout and anti-wealthy but the banks didn't take our money, Washington GAVE them our money. They really ought to occupy Capital Hill, not some random local business in some random town.

BTW, is anyone else confused about the UAW participating in this? Do they not represent some of the beneficiaries of the corporate bailouts?
