Protestors Peacefully ‘Occupy’ D.C.

Those who congregated to express their disgust with the government and the “corporate machine” did so peacefully in Washington on Sunday, where dozens of protestors set up tents and held signs in Freedom Plaza.

The Washington Post reported that protestors only had National Park Service permits through Sunday.
