    They have little direction and no common goals. They are spending way too much time trying to fight local governments and local police departments so they can camp out in city parks. This is useless. At the same time, the longer this continues the more support OWS will loose - Every time an OWS protester gets caught on video taking a crap outside, OWS looses support.

    Take this to Washington DC, and fucking take over the Capital building. Make Congress take note. And continue to do this until Congress makes a commitment to force change. THEN, when they follow through and pass some half effort law in an attempt to pacify the general public, go back, do it again, and say "Nice try, but you failed, we need results".

    Camping out in a public park outside of Wall Street isn't going to a damn thing. Wall Street isn't going to make the changes on their own.

    I would love for this to take front and center stage in the next election.

      And therein lies the problem with you knee jerk tea baggers. You always fall back on the same old perceptions and for all we know this "80 year old woman" might kick your ass in hand to hand street combat and send you cryin' for Ronny

            In lighter news. OWS HAS accomplished something!

            Starbucks (SBUX -2.29%) loves to set up cafes in areas with heavy foot traffic. But its restrooms end up open to everyone as a result.

            The company is getting a little tired of that in New York, according to news reports. So it's begun closing off some restrooms to everyone but employees.

                So everyone is assuming the woman was targeted specifically? I seriously doubt a cop walked up to the old lady and pointed a tiny hand held can of pepper spray at her face and blasted her with it.

                As usual, no description of the circumstances and clear account of what happened excactly... just an emotionally charged picture/title rousing the same people who love to call others "sheep"

                  I beg to differ PR Glen. While that might be considered "trollesque," full out troll I keep in reserve like a fine wine such as a vintage Pouilly Ennui Fuissé.

                            sucks but the bigger the crackdown the more the support both domestic and international will escalate and grow.

                            especially since this isn't the red brigades but people from all walks of life engaging in peaceful protest whose worst crime is some guy pooping in the street.

                            and face it while not everyone hates the government, EVERYONE hates the banks.

                              I don't presume to know what happened. Of course its horrible that an old lady ended up getting maced and the police depts attitude about it is pretty deplorable and their comments insensitive. However, that doesn't mean it was intentional.

                              I did read the article to see if any hints were given as to how this could have possibly happened and there are none (shocker). Just an inflammatory title and emotionally charged photo... .leaving a bunch of people to carry on as if a cop walked right up to her and pointed mace at her and sprayed her in the face to be mean. I personally believe that's the least reasonable assumption. But hey, i'm not a juvenile acting out and trying to challenge authority anywhere and everywhere and anyway I can.

                              But hey, you guys just keep rambling on about Fox News or tea party people when you get cornered... that's really your only trick, since those who are upset most by this incident are those who typically dodge facts like a gazelle escaping a lion.

                                Meanwhile, as a bunch of ineffectual hippies are out beating their drums and spitting at police like 6 year olds, its business as usual by those they should be protesting against:

                                "OUTRAGE OF THE DAY: Insider Trading In Congress

                                ..... Yes, this behavior may be technically legal, because of an absurd loophole that some argue makes insider-trading rules not apply to Congress."
