Just days after Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters were cleared out of New York's privately owned Zuccotti Park, OWS protests were held across the country in a show of solidarity.
In Los Angeles, the city counicl still maintains its open invitation to the protesters to occupy City Hall's lawn.
But on November 17, OWS protesters left their lawn and took to the streets, first blocking downtown traffic during rush hour and later, when they marched to the doorsteps of Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
Reason.tv was on the scene for the march to the banks and captured some of the day's 26 arrests. Violence was minimal, as purple-shirted organizers of the march from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) worked to keep most protesters out of the street.
While most of the protesters were exercised by the economy and government bailouts, at least one participant's main beef seemed to be with Satan, "Grey Aliens" (who are controlled by "the Reptilians"), and the Illuminati (starts at 2-minute mark).
