All protests lead to Washington. This is a fact. As soon as the OWS kids put on their big boy pants, stop making social groups to hand out underwear, and start targeting Washington DC where all of the decisions are made.... Then they'll have a chance.

Yeah, and then as soon as we left Vietnam did these same protesters give a shit about the Vietnam veterans? Did these same protesters travel to Vietnam to help in their recovery?

It's classic civil disobedience. They make it look like it was perfectly peaceful, but the truth is they were violating some silly law. It's easy to say "They were sitting on the sidewalk" but the truth is they were disturbing the peace, blocking the sidewalk, whatever. The police ordered them to move or to leave, they refused, police went to arrest them, they resisted arrest, and when you resist arrest you get a shot of pepper spray. Looks bad, but it's a lot better than being beat down with night sticks.
The really funny thing is.... These laws the police were enforcing were voted in by the 99%, and it's the tax dollars of the 99% that pays for the police. Ironic isn't it?
