Video: The Cutest Li'l 99% Occupies Wall Street Through Dance

Tiny dancer!

Yesterday, between 15,000 and 20,000 people marched from Foley Square to Zuccotti Park as part of Occupy Wall Street's single largest rally since they took up residence in the park three weeks ago. OWS protesters were joined by unions and students for a march which was by turns peaceful and incredibly tense—that tension came to a boil when NYPD white shirts beat protesters trying to push past a barricade. But it really wasn't all pepper spray and Michael Moore speeches: there was also plenty of room for drum circles, chanting, and little kids dancing. Below, check out a video (skip to :54) of an adorable tyke doing his part to protest Wall Street greed—by harnessing the power of a carefully orchestrated (and dizzying!) dance.

This isnt a day care center, it is a protest with serious issues. Keep your little spawn at home.

if that kid spent a little more time out looking for a job than dancing around in some stupid protest, he wouldn't be in the situation that he's in.
