Because the 1% don’t take the bus

November 7, 2011 at 12:35 am By Matt Gangemi

This post originally appeared on Orphan Road.

The Occupy Seattle protesters get it.  I love that in yesterday’s Bank Transfer Day protests where they blocked traffic at a downtown intersection, they let buses pass through.  Sure, almost everyone affected by the backup are in the 99%.  But likely nobody in the 1% were on those buses.

 the police (who were cool as cucumbers) and protesters figured out a way to let buses through without leaving the intersection.
