I've seen it mostly on the likes of BoingBoing but I still don't understand, what are they trying to do?
Sure there are some issues with the FED, but a lot of these, like the cartoon linked here recently don't really describe the real issues, instead they talk about some of the symptoms, one straying head first in to conspiracy theory territory. Personally I like the idea of not having the polititions directly run the FED, but hey this is going dangerously off topic, because from what I can garner, none of the protesters are talking about this.
So what are they wanting?
What are their demands?
Is it just a festival without live music?
Also why is this awesome hatted girl arrested:
