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.

Source? NYC doesn't post statistics on violent crime till January, where'd you get this from?
