We were a small band of ragged protesters until we met up with the teachers' union. Suddenly, we had a formidable crowd. Our line of people shouted, chanted, waved posters in the air, until we came to the bridge of the 110.

They held banners over the edge for the rush hour freeway traffic. The hundreds of honking horns was encouraging. Whenever the disgruntled message against Wall Street is put out to the people, I've noticed, they react positively. They know how awful our economic situation is in this country. The people are pissed, to say it simply, and that is the only hope for the movement. For the upcoming revolution.

Most Americans, it seems, are afraid of losing their jobs, or their homes, or are worried about a relative's economic state. The energy for massive protest and revolt is out there, and the Occupy Los Angeles people are slowly but surely tapping into that.
