Occupy Wall Street Sits in on Red Bank [VIDEO]

The local offshoot of New York City's Occupy Wall Street protests discusses the state of America in Marine Park.

Nearly a month after began in New York City, the movement has spread throughout the country and the world with communities both large and small joining together in protest against the large disparity in wealth between the richest 1 percent of Americans and, as they've taken to calling themselves, the 99 percent. 

On Saturday, about 40 people joined together to occupy in Red Bank. Less of a formal protest and more of an active dialogue concerning the state of the country and its government and economy, the event featured participants of all ages joining together in earnest discussion.
