Watch Roger Murtaugh give a rousing speech at the Occupy Los Angeles rally.
A L.A. protest is never complete without a celebrity cameo appearance, and what could be better than a speech from protest enthusiast Danny Glover? Absolutely nothing fires up a crowd for a day of sign holding and repetitive chanting than a pep talk from the manager in “Angels in the Outfield.”
Occupy protests are beginning to sprout up all over the country. The movement that started in Manhattan’s financial district has spread like wildfire in recent weeks. Americans have rallied around their collective frustrations with the Wall Street’s financial companies going unpunished for collapsing after economy.
Rallying around the motto, “We are the 99 percent” Americans are begging lawmakers to make the Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynches of the world accountable for their greed and our country’s recession. Our nation’s frustrations have reached a breaking point and protesters demand for their voices to be heard. Nearly everyone has been effected by the actions of America’s wealthiest 1 percent. Now, we’ve finally organized to demonstrate our inability to remain quiet.
Most of Hollywood is comprised of some pretty outspoken liberals and Mr. Glover is among them. Although his acting career is on a bit of a slide as of recently, he is still an extremely recognizable face in the industry and his presence increases the mainstream awareness of the clause. Glover has an extensive history as an activist, that includes multiple arrests. In Los Angeles, his speech appeared to be impassioned and heartfelt as the Occupy protesters looked on attentively. Glover implored the crowd to be “24/7 warriors” for the cause.
Hell, I’m so inspired I might even make a sign and sit in a park for the rest of the day. Roger Murtaugh may have been too old for crime fighting and Mel Gibson’s shit, but one thing is for sure, he has a lot left in the tank when it comes to protesting.

I intended to create you one tiny observation to be able to give thanks yet again for all the lovely basics you have featured in this case. It has been certainly unbelievably open-handed of you to supply openly precisely what many people would have marketed as an e book in making some money for themselves, most importantly seeing that you might have tried it in the event you desired. These pointers also worked to become a good way to understand that someone else have the same passion just like my very own to know a whole lot more with respect to this problem. I think there are thousands of more pleasurable occasions up front for folks who check out your website.

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
