In Phoenix there’s also been a protest against people dying in foreighn wars. They call it the Phoenix’s version of Occupy Wall Street. Not only in Phoenix or the capital, but also in other places throughout the USA and the world, people have gone on the streets to protest against the Occupy movement. The protest is not only against the occupation, but also against national issues like education and the local environment. They all have the same cause and feeling: anger. Unfortunately, the protest was not always peaceful. In Chicago for example, 175 people have been arrested for violations. I always support people who protest for justice, but still I’m quite skeptical about it. I often wonder if it has a use. Do politicians really listen to people who get out on the street to come up for their rights? In most cases, I don’t think so. I think it is more a way for people to get lost of their frustrations and anger, but in the end few changes. Still, it is quite admiring that so many people around the world get out to protest, and not only citizens of the USA.
