New York (HedgeCo.net) –\u00a0Wall Street has turned into a campground, according to eye\u00a0witness\u00a0reports, people have gathered to peacefully protest the double tax standard, hedge fund bonuses and the $300 million underwater cable being laid between London and New York to speed up financial transactions by 6 milliseconds, among other things.<\/p>\n

Not widely reported in the news, for fear of a larger gathering, the milling protesters say they may camp out on Wall Street, “for up to a month.”<\/p>\n

Protesters have gone as far as to place a small stuffed bunny\u00a0rabbit\u00a0on the hood of a police car. \u00a0Some slogans include:\u00a0“feed the poor, eat the rich”. Also; “The system is going to collapse,” a voice blasted through megaphone, “we are here to make it collapse faster.”<\/p>\n

“The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99 Percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the one percent,” said a statement on the website Occupy Wall Street. The movement was launched by the online magazine Adbusters in July.<\/p>\n

There is a Al Jazeera stream<\/a> of the mellow protest available here. According to Twitter<\/a>, the riot police are closing in.<\/p>\n
