A rare snowstorm has tested the resolve of anti-Wall Street protesters camped out in a New York City park as police in Nashville detained dozens of demonstrators during an eviction from a city plaza.
On Saturday, a day after New York authorities confiscated generators from the Occupy Wall Street movement against economic inequality, hundreds of protesters struggled to stay warm and dry after more than an inch of snow fell in the city with temperatures forecast to drop to freezing overnight.
Buffeted by strong winds, protesters took shelter in snow-covered tents in Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, where the movement first set up camp six weeks ago, sparking dozens of similar occupations in city parks across the United States.
Comparing US to the Iron Curtain because the authorities confiscated a few generators makes me believe you haven't traveled much or read any history books. This type of nonsensical rhetoric makes the movement look bad as it seems more like a conspiracy theory than anything else.
