Two members of the Yes Lab brought a dozen thrift-store suits to Zuccotti Park and asked for volunteers. Then, within earshot of the police, the group made a human microphone announcement about a “highly risky, very arrestable” action. Then, together with a brand-new police escort, the group headed towards the Wall Street Bull chanting “Castrate the bull!” and other angry slogans. More police joined.
