They blocked me and a bunch of other people people trying to get to a Planned Parenthood rally and a bunch of low wage hourly workers who were not able to get to work to get paid. So I hope they enjoyed their free speech because they ruined a lot of other people's day.

OWS is not making any friends here. They march around screaming obscenities which will not endear you to people in the South, even the liberals.
