Tomorrow: Occupy Brooklyn!

Have you felt the urge to occupy something but just couldn’t bring yourself to make the 20 minute trip to Wall Street? Well, Brooklyn, your 99% is in luck! This Saturday at 11am protesters will take to the corrupt streets of Grand Army Plaza and occupy the shit out of it! Because what better place to show we won’t stand for the greedy bastards taking excessive profits at the expense of the working people than right in front of a giant public library?

Unlike Mayor Bloomberg across the river, Borough President Markowitz is embracing the movement. Or at least the inevitability of having to deal with it. “It was only a matter of time before the … rallies made their way to Brooklyn,” he told Brooklyn Daily. We assume this means you’re less likely to get a nightstick to your kneecaps or a face full of pepper spray from the cops. However, we suggest you still be prepared to deal with the stench of dirty diapers if the Stroller Mafia shows up.

No word yet on how long this occupation of Grand Army Plaza will last. It’s fair to say that they’ll be there at least as long as the farmer’s market is open but no later than when a bocce ball court becomes available at Union Hall.
