    Organizers on Monday urged participants to take part in a protest against police brutality and a rally in support of union workers.

    They were also encouraged to dress up as corporate zombies. As Wall Streeters arrived for work, most protesters were still having breakfast. One demonstrator was ready with a zombie-makeover kit, though.

    About 700 weekend arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge fueled the anger of the protesters camping in a Manhattan park. It also sparked support elsewhere in the country as the campaign entered its third week.

    One supporter, William Stack, sent an e-mail to city officials urging all charges be dropped.

    Please interview these protestors and see how many work or had jobs during the last year, and not because of the economy. If they are gun ho on communism, try venezula, red china [it is still red] or Russia [the new face of communism]

    If they were orderly, well dressed individuals (with suits and ties), who were properly groomed, and they demonstrated silently and peacefully, they would be more convincing. However, they come across as rabble rousers, and as a mob, with nothing better to do. NYC has enough financial problems, without having to expend hundreds of thousands to police these parasitic demonstrators, who are being funded by left wing groups.
