Forum Post: Occupy Greenwich

With all due respect, I think people are missing the point. Wall St. may be a symbol, but if you really want to get your message across, go to where the kings and queens live in their castles. The French revolution didn't really succeed until the people stormed the Royal Palace in Paris. The fall of Khaddafi and Hussein were symbolized by the people taking over their palaces. Taking over the streets of Greenwich, the roads to the country clubs, would be much scarier to those in power, much more symbolic, and ultimately have a much greater effect. And the Greenwich police are NOT equipped to handle anything like this. The Governor would be forced to call in the National Guard, which would elevate this protest into the category of historic protests like Selma, Alabama or Kent State.
