I do not pay attention to the wall street gang. They are nutty and destructive and will be sent packing from all their campsites soon.  They've killed their own agenda through their illegal actions of destruction and theft. 

California, enough said.

Thank you all for your answers!

Have a nice winter - officially starts today - Merry Christmas, Happy New Whole Year and stay healthy please.

Well, I don't think that they should be allowed to camp out where ever they like, but then that is the whole point of civil disobedience, to impede the flow of progress of government or whatever institution you object to through peaceful demonstration. As far as assults and criminal activity, when you get large crowds you are going to have some problems. The tea party gatherings were coupled with some altercations when they first appeared. Also, it is big business that  they are protesting. As we've seen from the last recession big business played a large part in the problem with their convoluted securities and other underhanded business activities. No, I don't think they are as disorganized as people would like to think and I also think that they are very effective.

Business an economics of today in no way resembles what was learned in college. It has become distorted and skewed into some sort of Frankenstein monster. Just the sort of practice that needs to be protested in a method that get attention and they sure do that.

The wall street gang are not peaceful. Women are even getting assaulted. Time to shut them down.

Organization makes a huge difference. They are not organized. They are a mob, a gang, nothing good will come of this as they are going after the wrong people. Already a Jewish girl in Canada was attacked and lit on fire because the wall street gang blames Jews.

Here is a situation that proves the old adage "whatever the market will bare" , meaning that demand drives price. Is it too high?  I guess not, since they are able to get those salaries.

As far as the OWS group. I don't think that it matters that they are disorganised and lack structure. They are effective because they strike fear into the hearts of the conservatives and tea party memebers.  They are a nuisance, but they stir passion in others as is evidenced by their growing numbers they have actually gone global.

They are a threat to all. Disorganized groups become fanatical and destruction and death is sure to follow. They are destructive to businesses, breaking windows and such and they steal from businesses because they believe no business should prosper if by (their calculations) the business is charging too much. They are unorganized law breakers and dangerous to everyone.

" With the increased number of assaults and criminal events being reported at Occupy events across the country, many are beginning to wonder whether the message of being aware of income disparities is being drowned out by people who do not share those core convictions. On The O’Reilly Factor last night, host Juan Williams debated a panel on the merits of the occupying going on, suggesting that maybe “attracting people who are involved in nihilism” wasn’t the best way to spread a political message." http://www.mediaite.com/tv/oreilly-factor-panel-is-occupy-wall-street-a-destructive-farce-with-no-real-end-game/
