RAPID CITY (AP) — More than 50 protesters gathered in Rapid City on Saturday to support the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The group gathered around Main Street Square and throughout downtown Rapid City, waving signs at passing cars.

Unlike rallies in New York, the local protest did not attempt to campout. The crowd instead dispersed at the day went on.

Rally participants had an array of issues, but a common theme was anger at big banks and the richest 1 percent of the population. Another commonly cited grievance was student debt for college.
