Speaker at Rally Apparently Not Sure What He and Fellow Protesters Want Or When They Want It

At a rally held in front of the United Nations headquarters in New York yesterday, an unidentified speaker used a megaphone to loudly and repeatedly demand that the assembled crowd define the purpose of the protest and establish a timetable for success. According to eyewitnesses, the speaker's unaccountable ignorance of his own rally's objective was apparently compounded by a severe auditory condition, as the crowd's consistent and unanimous response to each of the speaker's redundant queries seemingly failed to register. The mutual frustration of the exchange led quickly to what onlookers described as an escalating shouting match between speaker and crowd that went on for several minutes before reaching an ear-splitting crescendo and then ending abruptly.
