Protestors occupy Baltimore

BALTIMORE - The thundering sounds of the Baltimore city police chopper echoed off the empty McKeldin Plaza at high noon, but then again every movement starts with one step.

Before long they started to show, making signs and standing on street corners.

Their burgeoning rally cry of ‘we are the 99 percent’ slowly began to occupy Baltimore in the shadow of all of this city's major financial companies.

"In the meantime the average Joe doesn't have a job…I am here because clearly there is enough money in the economy but it seems to be going to only one percent," said a protestor.

Their message, yet to really solidify is mix of frustrations; bank bail outs, unemployment, homelessness, a shrinking middle class, all of it the ingredients of what these protesters hope feeds a powder keg of discontent in every major American city.

"The hope is people get angry and people get involved," said protestor Tri Ngo.

Ngo hopes this movement lights the match.

He is disgusted that what he believes is an unhealthy distribution of wealth is crushing the American ideal.

Ngo plans on being here on and off throughout the protest, which its facebook page says will continue indefinitely.

"Ya know as long as it takes, as long as it takes. I am here to say this is my home, you know I can come back. I think the idea is important, the idea is important. And I am committed to the idea."

An idea these protesters says will occupy the corner of Pratt and Light, hoping the message will occupy more minds in what they call the 99 percent.
