Jon Stewart Mocks 'Occupy Wall Street' Pepper-Spraying Cop
Jon Stewart on Thursday condemned the New York police officer who maced several protesters participating in the "Occupying Wall Street" demonstration, but not before having a bit of fun with the story. "Who was this human crop-duster, raining habanero misery on the crowd?"
Since September 17 protesters united under the banner of "We are the 99%" have occupied Wall Street—or at least a park a few blocks north. This loose and varied encampment of several hundred mostly young people has been taking a stand against runaway corporate power in the United States and the incredible inequality that exists today. To this end, they have been practicing nonviolent direct action: leading small and larger marches around the Wall Street area, protesting Georgia’s execution of Troy Davis, picketing at Verizon headquarters with Communications Workers fighting for good contracts, and disrupting auctions at Sotheby’s —which has locked out its unionized workers. (For a good story on the Occupy Wall Street phenomenon, check out Liza Featherstone's coverage in Newsday .) Readers might not have heard about Occupy Wall Street had it not been for what happened last Saturday, when OWS marched to Union Square.
