Wall Street protests to come to Boston
Source: WHDH-TV

A planning meeting was held on Tuesday night and some organizers were fired up.

“This is part of a global movement of resistance,” yelled one organizer to cheers and clapping from a crowd of nearly 200 on the Boston Common.

4. I hope they're all observing the dress code
You know how it offends some people's tender sensibilities when protesters aren't properly attired. You know, "I support their protest in theory, but because they're wearing that, I have to say they're just a bunch of attention-grabbers, totally discredited and Not Serious."
