The banker backlash in the United States is spreading, with major rallies held in the capital, Los Angeles and several other cities. Thousands joined to express their anger at economic inequalities and high unemployment. The demonstrations began last month when protesters started pitching tents in front of the New York Stock Exchange under the banner ‘Occupy Wall Street’. Earlier this week, heavy-handed police were filmed using batons and pepper spray to disperse the demonstrators. The aftermath of years of financial strife are causing people’s patience to run out and they’re angry at the banks for triggering it in the first place. Journalists who joined the campaign say the protesters will not stop demanding social and economic justice.
