Pre Arrest Images And Detention Story From An Occupy Wall Street Protestor
Occupy Wall Street protestor Joshua Paul snapped these photos before being arrested with several others, totaling about 100 arrested that day, during the September 24th event in NYC. Joshua spent 12 hours incarcerated for his participation in a peaceful protest. After being released he returned to the event.
We came from all places – Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, and Florida. It was incredible to see how diverse we were and hear where everyone was from. I looked out the window and the rest of #OccupyWallSt was outside, cheering and supporting us. One supporter came to the window, touched his heart and glass and said, “I love you all.”
Joshua gives his take on the days events and time behind bars with other protestors. “Detained with #OccupyWallSt“
The protest has been going on for 10 days at this point non stop with participants camping out over night. Affiliated protests have begun in Chicago and Boston with plans for DC soon.
