Demonstrators Plan to Occupy Retailers on Black Friday Some demonstrators are planning to occupy retailers on Black Friday to protest "the business that are in the pockets of Wall Street." Organizers are encouraging consumers to either occupy or boycott retailers that are publicly traded, according to the Stop Black Friday website. The goal of the movement is to impact the profits of major corporations this holiday season. "The idea is simple, hit the corporations that corrupt and control American politics where it hurts, their profits, " states the Occupy Black Friday Facebook page. A few of the retailers the protesters plan on targeting include Neiman Marcus, Amazon and Wal-Mart. Their website states the following: "Keep in mind that we are not occupying small businesses or hardworking people—we must make a distinction between the businesses that are in the pockets of Wall Street and the businesses that serve our local communities. We are NOT anti-capitalist. Just anti-crapitalist. Below is a shortlist for publicly traded large businesses to Occupy or to boycott on Black Friday. Luckily, most of them don't have good presents anyway. If you want to see the top 100 retail businesses for 2010 to boycott, click here.

The Occutards that trespass and disrupt enterprise on private property need to have their heads occupied with Louisville Sluggers®. That would either knock some sense into their hard heads or put them out of their misery. Either way, it's a win-win for all concerned.

The occutards ain't the boss of me, who told the presumptuous busybodies they should have power over what I sell or buy? What's wrong with you living your own life and leaving other people alone to live theirs?

And you are not the boss of everyone you try to shut down with your rediculous, 'ignore this thread' on sight tabloid threads. Having so few own and control so much stalls the economy, guts the middle class, and gives no hope for prosperity or a decent life and future for our kids. Those with too much need to know when to quit. And there most certainly is nothing wrong with people demonstrating and speaking out in the occupy movement to raise awareness of the problem and to create a climate for finding solutions to what is wrong in this country where corporations and the super rich have taken over the country and gutted the U.S. Constitution.
