The protest occurring near Wall Street in New York has gotten a little wild, with police making arrests of lawbreakers.

It is basically a rally against greedy capitalists who are accused of wielding excessive clout in politics and causing the economic meltdown.

The scene is reminiscent of a kind of proletarian revolution. For some reason, it also reminds me of the documentary Inside Job, which I watched nearly a year ago. The film, which won an Oscar for best documentary this year, tells of the "systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption", according to director Charles Ferguson.
