And on that, I would say if Occupy ends up feeding the community, getting public parks used, organizing community events, and providing a hub for people to get together and meet each other, which reduces crime, that will do a LOT more than that investment banker who is a middleman to get cash and brokered a deal that caused more jobs to get outsourced outside the United States.

It's pretty hard to use a public park (or a privately owned one like Zuccotti Park, for that matter) when it's crammed full of filthy hippies. And since shootings are up ~30% in NYC since OWS started, if anything it seems to be driving crime up rather than down.
