No idea, but of course Fluttershy would feel bad for him. She feels for every living creature.

Long story made short: there's been an ongoing protest in New York over a perceived corporate stranglehold on the democratic process. Over 500 of the protestors were jailed today for obstructing traffic - it seems the police were telling them to stay off the road on a particular bridge, but their movements were interpreted by many of the protestors who couldn't hear police announcements as directing the crowd onto the road. (Also, for reasons not yet clear, earlier that day the police requested several jail buses to be ready at the location.)

There've been problems with overaggressive police actions against this protest earlier, but it's unclear as yet whether this particular incident involved any misconduct or deliberate entrapment. Details are still fuzzy.

It was for "disorderly conduct." They've been divided into small groups with orange nets to be broken up. Handfuls of arrests were made for not complying with orders to move to the sidewalk, as they were marching down roads to Wall Street. Some were pepper-gassed.

The main complaint is corporate greed- these 1% have the power to create jobs by hiring workers, but they refuse to do so. So this protest was formed.

It will fall apart when the owner of the Zuccotti park they're camping out in enforces the new ""No overnight camping or sleeping" rule. That will be the most saddest sight to see.
