The organizer of the event swears it's not a joke.

    How much can you hire a sniper for? Might be worth picking off the 4 guys who show up for this. Just a thought?

    I really want to see this guy march alone with a single sign that says “Protect Billionaire Rights”

    Billionaires have it the worst. people are always going “you could do this for the world,” “you could feed children,” but nobody is asking why they’re stuck with a single 300ft yacht when they really want that 400ft yacht with two helicopter pads.

      That sign would be about as welcome as John McLane was at the start of Die Hard 3.

      Yeah, that sign with that slur. Except there wouldn’t be Samuel L kicking about to save him.

    We know billionaires aren’t going to do the work themselves. Finally we will get to see who these “paid protesters” are that I keep hearing about.

    Satirical image of the "Don't Tread On Me" logo. A boot with dog excrement is about to stomp on a snake, who is licking said excrement. A caption over the snake reads "No need to tread, for I will gladly lick the dog shit from your black leather oxford"

      This isn’t so much licking boots as deepthroating them up to the knee.
