Violence Erupts in Rome as Occupy Wall Street Goes Global

Hundreds of thousands of people around the world marched on dozens of cities on Saturday, joining the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations against greed, inequality and everything else that's screwed up right now.

Actually, it seems a little unfair to say that the world is joining Occupy Wall Street—some countries, like Spain, have had strong anti-inequality and anti-austerity movements for months now, so it's more like Occupy Wall Street was America joining the world—but either way, it's the global interest in the Zuccotti Park encampment (and its imitators nationwide) that spurred the October 15 marches.
