OWS is failed from the start. I guess no one noticed it gets cold in NYC in the winter, and no one is gonna be camping out in tents. Factor in that providing free shelter and food in parks in NYC, and your going to attract the bottom 1% of the 99% they claim to represent. Fail.
OWS currently has something going on in Washington DC, which is where they need to be. Wall Street is busy making money, and they don't care who is occupying what and they aren't about to change their policies. The change has to be made in Washington, not in Zuccotti Park.
However, their protest today was a lot less than they had hoped for, and someone from their group threw a smoke bomb onto the White House lawn - very classy.
This group needs refine and streamline their goals, put in a slick marketing package around it that everyone understands... And then take it to Washington DC and protest Capital Hill until something happens.
