MSNBC: Day of global Occupy protests gets under way
Edited on Sat Oct-15-11 01:34 PM by Fire Walk With Me
Tens of thousands nicknamed "the indignant" marched Saturday in European cities as protests against capitalism and austerity measures went global.

Violence broke out in Rome, where Italian police fired tear gas and water cannons at protesters after some smashed shop and bank windows, torched cars and hurled bottles.

TV footage showed police in riot gear charging the protesters and firing water cannons at them. A small group of violent protesters broke away from the main demonstration in the Italian capital, part of worldwide protests against corporate greed and austerity measures.

2. Wow! Some pissed off Italians.
I wonder if the international occupations will last more than just today?
