This is pointless and doesn't accomplish anything short of costing our local cities millions in law enforcement costs.

They need to be protesting Congress directly, not Wall Street in NYC. Camping out just brings out the misfits and the bottom 10% of society. This is just making the movement look bad. Instead of "shutting down Wall Street" for a single day, what they need to do is shut down the Capital Building for a week. Camp out if you must, but not on a long term basis - that just attracts the bottom feeders and the homeless.
I disagree with you on tactics but that's life. We'll see how it plays out at some point.
