Protesting “Wall Street greed,” a group called “Occupy Wall Street” dressed like zombies this morning to greet Wall Street workers in New York. This happened in the wake of about 700 people in the “Occupy Wall Street” movement being arrested over the weekend on the Brooklyn Bridge. And 24 Boston residents were also arrested in a similar march in downtown Boston on Friday.
