1. Strange....

My ad blocker is blocking your picture... Never had that happen here before.

[proud patriot]

2. I can see it

[Ohio Joe]

3. I don't know

I have several spam site/anti-virus/ad blocker programs that I use and I missed which one it was that blocked it. Coming back in, it is just a red X... Not sure what it did not like.

[nilram]

8. fine for me with my ad-blocker... but I'm thinking...

maybe I should allow ads from DU, to give them the financial support. Haven't made exceptions before...

[texanwitch]

9. I couldn't see it either.

Right click and use show picture.

[GoCubsGo]

24. Thank you.

This happens to me sometimes, too. I always forget to try "right click".

[RebelOne]

39. Doesn't work with a Mac mouse. n/t

[diane in sf]

43. hold down your control key while you click--that's a right click on a Mac.

[Zorra]

23. This has been happening to me for the last couple days here on certain images.

As in your case, I don't recall this happening on DU before.

Although the picture you referenced was not blocked, I had another image blocked on a post that I had clicked on just moments before. I turned the ad blocker off, clicked on another post, and then refreshed the page, and the image was no longer blocked, so I'm fairly sure that my ad blocker was the cause of the image being blocked.

[jwirr]

32. Mine is also blocked.

[xchrom]

4. Mourning & anger in the right place. Nt

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. I can see it..and recommend it. Thanks!

[emilyg]

6. Highly Rec.

[FirstLight]

7. wow

I pray this grows, would that I could be there...solidarity, man

[louslobbs]

10. K&R So sad.

[reggie the dog]

11. i see no image

[Admiral Loinpresser]

12. According to the NYT, protesters have no idea

what they're protesting about. I think it is the Times which is clueless. This young man knows exactly what he is doing and why.

[Jackpine Radical]

16. That's priceless.

The privileged, and their mouthpieces, got no clue.

Fuckin' project much, guys?

"I got no idea WTF these people are on about. I'm a lot smarter than they are. Therefore they got no clue what they're mad about."

[newspeak]

19. the corporate media will do everything in it's power

to either suppress or dilute the movement. Of course, the protesters know what they are protesting, NYT just attempting to tell their readership that there is nothing to see. See, these protestors don't know what they're protesting but those teabaggers sure know what they're protesting. Damn it! They want their country back from that black man in the WH!!!! They want their corporate sponsors to have carte blanche treatment so we can look more like Nigeria or Somalia. See? Those teabaggers got a message, unlike, those protesters on wall street.

[RB TexLa]

21. We don't know why. Apparently his parents house was foreclosed on. But we don't know

anything about the foreclosure, or what his parents did or didn't do.

[AlbertCat]

25. protesters have no idea what they're protesting about.

They must have confused them with the Teabaggers.

[_ed_]

36. NY times is corporate propaganda

It's a worthless "newspaper."

[joshcryer]

13. Go to buzzfeed.com and come back here, for some reason that worked for me.

The image is hotlinked and buzzfeed probably isn't feeding it to anyone who hasn't been to their actual site.

[joshcryer]

14. Here's the original source (and buzzfeed page):

15. Growing...

[FarCenter]

17. Can't see a bank in the picture

Pavement doesn't look like 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza? Was this in front of some random retail branch?

Chase moved most mortgage operations out of NYC years ago in order to find lower cost employees in other metro areas.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Doesn't say it's a mortgage office

It says "Chase Bank"

[lunatica]

18. I'd like to see a picture of his face too.

There sure are plenty of people taking photographs of him.

[toddaa]

22. That protester lacks a coherent message

I bet he's a trustafarian.

do I really need to add this-> :sarcasm:

[emcguffie]

26. Well, I couldn't see the picture, either.

Until I clicked on reply, then I could see it.

The right-click thing didn't work either.

I just saw a black and white pattern.

[hiley]

27. if you can't see pic just refresh the page it worked

for me.. these protesters are heroes to me~

[truthwillout777]

28. a good reason why millions of Americans should be joining the NYC protest

Millions of Americans homeless, millions of children homeless because of the assholes


The Media Will Not Cover the Wall Street Protest? Take the Protest to the Media!!

29. Not economically viable

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX4b_rhT0nU

It's fucking disgusting what these criminal banks are getting away with right now.

[Scruffy1]

30. Guess I'll have to borrow some money tomorow.

And send it off to the the local IWW chapter and occupiers. I think it is as important as Tahir Square.

[dkf]

40. And not repay your loan you mean?

Well that's on you and your credit rating.

[Ikonoklast]

41. How did you get that out of that statement?

Since when does borrowing money imply the lack of repayment?

You keep trying to do what you do here, and keep failing at it.

[dkf]

44. Well borrowing only helps banks.

The only way they get hurt is if you don't pay.

Seems funny to protest Wall Street by borrowing and paying interest.

[sabrina 1]

31. He was arrested shortly after that.

Can't find the photo but he was one of the first to be arrested yesterday.

When he was being taken away, he gave his name and said he was a law student.

[toddaa]

33. Did you add the caption in red?

It's cool.

[sabrina 1]

34. Do you mean on the photo in my sigline?

If so, no, it was done by the artist. I just copied and pasted the url. :-)

It was the poster they used for the first day of the occupation. They didn't know you cannot set up tents in the city at the time. The police have told them since then that tents are illegal as are tarps because they are a 'structure' and cannot be used. So, they used umbrellas to protect their media equipment and food etc. They are calling it the Umbrella Revolution for fun.

[toddaa]

35. The top caption isn't on the one from #OccupyWallStreet

I think it's funny and sad that critics are asking for the one demand that will make everyone pack up and go home.

You can't negotiate with terrorists.

[greytdemocrat]

37. I hope they got his good side. n/t

[Overseas]

38. K&R.

[loyalsister]

42. They should gather and publish stories like this

It is what Obama did when he was pushing HCR. Yes I know some think it wasn't good enough. But, the point is it got done and that was part of the process. These guys need to do something to get people to relate to them. If they had an organized structure with published materials, they would gain credibility.

[Left Coast2020]

45. Speaking of publishing.......

The complaint was that Yahoo was not running this story--or leaving it off their news page. The story (about wall street protsters) is now on Yahoo News, but at the bottom of the news homepage.

:mad:

[laffibbl]

46. Who is this protester?

Wow, has anyone checked his story? I heard that his parents
were called and they were not out of their house, as a matter
of fact the mother has a very high paying job and the house is
almost fully paid for. We need an investigative reporter the
check this out, not just go with the emotion of the thing.
