Occupy Newport soggy wet…
A small but impassioned group of Occupy Newport protesters were braving a typical Oregon Coast downpour late this afternoon at the corner of Highway 101 and Highway 20. They came with their plastic wrapped protest signs indicating their continued protest against the country’s prolonged economic downturn which they blame on Wall Street gamblers and a consolidation of the country’s wealth.
Protesters say they will maintain their vigil, rain or shine, hoping for honks of support but are also willing to endure unfriendly gestures of non-support.
