Did you see that dude's eyes though? He was totally lying. He wasn't really trying to get on the subway. I couldn't tell who all they were letting threw. He knew they weren't going to let him threw. I'd say he was one of the many protesters that was milling about. He just wanted to see if he could get through the barricade so that he could say he was infringed upon.
Yea that whole OP film was staged. I get the feeling it was well known occupiers that grabbed a camera and went to have some fun fooling internet movie watchers.
