Occupy Wall Street Donations Skyrocket

Good thing that at least some of us media outlets are covering the heavy handed tactics being used in many states by law enforcement to discourage the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Here is a recent tally of folks getting arrested for peacefully assembling:

70 protesters arrested in Lower Manhattan and tack on another 200 protesters arrested in Chicago after they refused to leave their tent living areas.

Good news for protesters as over $300,000 was recently donated across America in support of the movement. Protesters rarely want for anything as food and drink, toiletries and other staples are rapidly donated to the point where some materials have to be refused because of sheer volume.

#occupywallstreet is the Twitter hashtag used to identify the movement as far a social media is concerned.
