Occupy Wall Street protesters gathered at Zucotti Park, their former encampment, on Thursday morning and marched towards the New York Stock Exchange to mark their movement’s two month anniversary. About one thousand occupy protesters divided themselves up into three groups and disrupted both vehicle and foot traffic in New York’s financial district.

Apparently, the plan was to at least delay the opening bell for morning trading. However, though protesters shoved Wall Street workers and refused to let anyone through their arm linked human barricades in three different streets, the New York Stock Exchange Bell rang on time. Below is some video of protesters refusing entry to Wall Street workers.
