No sign during the morning of the showers that had threatened to break the month's good weather there was an estimate that up to a million people had congregated, half of them in the Mall.
In the only slight sign of trouble, a small group of protesters had gathered in Soho Square but were caught up without getting near.
Overnight several protesters had camped outside the Abbey and along the edge of St James Park. From early morning thousands came in with parents carrying picnic bags and backpacks and children with flags and painted faces and even party costumes.

    Occupy Wall Street was a protest movement that took place in Zuccotti Park in New York City’s Wall Street financial district. “we are the 99%” was their slogan, they believed that the wealthy few should no longer decide the future of the country as a hole. One of their believes was that every person should be involved in the decision making and for this reason the movement never achieved the necessary organization to establish a good list of demands. Every person affiliated with the movement had different believes and aspirations for the result of the protest. Two weeks passed by until the movement really picked up, that was, until abuse and mass arrests from the New York Police Department attracted media attention. Liberal groups, students, unions, and organizations all over the country began to join the Occupy movement making it a Nation Wide protest.…

    The people involved in the riots were between the ages of 11- 70. It shows how the amount of people getting involved and the fair amount of them should know right from wrong. What has society today has turned into? The people who were rioting, felt like they weren't being listened to.

    Riots In Philadelphia

    • 1651 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The rally in Kensington was held May 3, 1844 (1844: Philadelphia ‘Bible Riots’). The political rally was met with opposition and the Irish Catholics because the party deliberately staged the rally in front of Kensington’s Nanny Goat Market which was a social hub for the community (Mandell). The American Republican Party chose to rally in the Kensington area because it was the origin of the dispute and it was a hotbed where many of the Irish and German immigrants settled. The American Republican party also used their nativist platform in order to join for a common cause which was to rally support before the elections of 1844 (Cohn 370). The Republican rally was driven away by the residents on the same day because the rallies’ premise was anti-immigrant in nature, but the Kensington area’s majority was Irish immigrants (Schrag). As a group, the American Republican Party pushed for restrictions on immigrant’s naturalization and voting process, but what they need was to have representatives of the party in legislative bodies (Riots in the City 2). The American Republican Party’s platform did not subside from the opposition on May 3rd (Pfleger 134). On May 6, 1844 the party returned in the thousands to provoke more conflict within the community. The nativist held another rally that had the same goal as the first: “to…
