Occupy Half Moon Bay Still Going Strong
On Saturday, protestors lined the curb at the corner of Highway 92 and Highway 1 for the sixth weekend in a row.
Despite the holiday weekend, Occupy Half Moon Bay protestors didn't take any time off from making their presence known at the corner of Highway 92 and Highway 1.
On Saturday, a group of about 15 people held up signs declaring "WALL STREET - SCREW US AND WE MULTIPLY," "The System is BROKEN," "TAX the RICH! We are the 99%," "SOMOS el 99%!," "BREAK UP WALL STREET," "BREAK UP MEGA BANKS" and "OCCUPY EVERYWHERE."
A sign erected at the Highway 1 median directly across from the protesters read "BRING BACK THE GRADUATED INCOME TAX."
