A group of about two dozen members of Occupy D.C. walked from McPherson Square to 1301 K Street NW earlier this afternoon to stage a protest in the lobby of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ office there.

It’s hardly the first time Occupy has stormed a downtown office building, though today’s half-hour rally was one of the more subdued in the four-month-old movement. There were the customary signs, chants and “mic checks,” but little confrontation with police. Metropolitan Police Department officers were quick to respond, and equally prompt in nudging the protesters back onto the sidewalk. An MPD officer said that despite the Occupiers’ presence, PWC employees were not impeded from getting in or out of the building.

Rather than linger outside PWC’s office and face arrest, one of the protesters asked—via the Occupy movement’s call-and-response “people’s mic”—if the group would like to return to McPherson Square. The approval was nearly unanimous.

Jesse Martin, who said he’s been with Occupy D.C. for about a month, was one of two holdouts. Martin was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt that covered his entire face when fully zipped and emblazoned with the image of the Joker from the 2008 Batman film The Dark Knight. On top of that, he sported a Guy Fawkes mask, popularized by the comic book series V for Vendetta and members of the hacking syndicate Anonymous.

Martin was rather broad when asked why Occupy had singled out PWC among all other K Street firms.

“The basic principle there is with greed, not justice,” he said. “We gotta do them one at a time.”

Down the block, two employees of another firm at 1301 K were outside for a smoke. They had been told the building had been placed on “lockdown” shortly after the Occupy group arrived in the PWC lobby and that they were not allowed to leave their floor. They managed to sneak out for a cigarette, though.

“It was break one rule or the other,” one of them said.
