Arrests Top 100 Outside New York Stock Exchange
One year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street
More than 100 arrests were reported on Monday, the first anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement, as protesters converged near the New York Stock Exchange and tried to block access to the exchange.
Demonstrators had planned to converge from several directions to form a "human wall" around the stock exchange to protest what they said was an unfair economic system that benefited the rich and corporations at the expense of ordinary citizens.
