OWS has set up camps in public parks, and this is going to attract the criminal element and the homeless. Eventually it will no longer be to be the 99%, but instead the bottom 5%. It's going to get worse when it gets colder too. There are already reports of OWS refusing to give free meals to the homeless in NYC. Anyone can join - except for the homeless.
