Occupy Wall Street was cleared out with tear gas, that's why it didn't work. The world has changed since the 60's; the press is much more compliant now, MLK would probably not have succeeded in the present environment.

Marches and rallies are completely useless these days- point to one thing the women's march accomplished, even though it was the biggest protest in us history.
