Yesterday, 20 supporters of the “Occupy Wall Street” protests were arrested in front of the State Capital.
Here’s what happened at the rally in Downtown Raleigh yesterday:
Police said that more than 90 people remained at the rally around 7:30 p.m, more than four hours after their permits expired. About 75 protesters moved to the sidewalk and continued their demonstration, but 19 people stayed behind, locked arms and were arrested. A woman was also arrested two hours later for trying to enter the closed Capitol grounds.
Organizers of the “Occupy Raleigh” protests said they would convene again at State Capitol grounds on Edenton Street at noon and 6:30 p.m. today…
Similar groups have been developing in cities across North Carolina. “Occupy” meetings have been held in Wilmington, Winston-Salem and on college campuses.
