Occupy protester: 'It's going to happen no matter what'

LEE COUNTY -
From Wall Street in New York, Asia and even Antarctica, the Occupy movement has swept the world. And even after police crackdowns in Fort Myers, protesters we spoke to say it's just getting started.

People have already been on the streets of Fort Myers for two weeks, protesting what they call corrupt government and corporate greed.

Protesters say there is no end in sight and that Occupy's message will be heard on First Street until there is change.

"They started this movement and if we didn't agree with what those people are doing and saying we wouldn't be here ourselves," said protester Matthew McDowell.

1. The time has come for an idea that won't die

The 99% are responding to the idea in amazing and dumbfounding numbers. We are everywhere.
