They were a bunch of irresponsible losers. Lazy individuals only hold together so long before they can not stand each other. They have joined the trash heap of history.
Too lazy? They were physically removed from their protest. Some beaten and charged unjustly. I'd say that's a far cry from the movement simply dying out due to laziness.
A protester I know from my hometown is working as a carpenter and offering his services for free to those in need. A far cry from someone lazy.
Oh you mean like this.....................
Occupy San Francisco Protesters Attacked Two Officers, Police Say
Police spokesman Carlos Manfredi says officers were trying to keep marchers out of an intersection when a woman came from the crowd, slashed an officer's hand with a pen knife or razor blade, then disappeared before he realized he'd been cut.
Police say a man then came out of the crowd and grabbed an officer's radio, and when the officer chased him another protester shoved the officer, leaving him with a torn uniform and a bleeding laceration on his face.
"Activists with the Occupy Wall Street movement are claiming that police in Minneapolis gave them illegal drugs and other items for participating in a study on impairment."
Later Panda explained that officers had offered him “a quarter more” of marijuana if he would become an “informant” to snitch on other Occupy protesters.
“Last night, I was called by a concerned mother who was very upset because her son had been given free drugs by a police officer when he went out to participate in what he thought would be social action in a public plaza to help improve his community and country,” Gordon wrote. “She was shocked to learn from her son later that police gave her son illegal drugs and asked him to use them, indicating that it was okay and that it was part of a police program.”

That's exactly what I'm talking about. You can't control everyone when your a grassroots movement that's trying to be all encompassing. They lady who slashed the cop should be in jail. I'm not arguing for violence on EITHER side of the aisle.
Still, the message, or better yet, messages behind the protest I agree with. What about the other 99% that were not breaking the law. Is their cause invalid because of the actions of a single individual. If so, shouldn't both the Democrats and Republicans be painted with the same brush? Cops too?
How come there are no Occupy Wall Street protests in 2012? The gatherings died during winter... But did new laws prevent these events? Were too many people being arrested or whatever?

The problem is if they were making a camp they were breaking the law. They can protest during the proper hours like everyone else.
The open drug use, sex bathroom use on a police car etc is a problem and is not conducive to get ones point across in a serious manner. Its more like a flop house/hippy free love kind of event.
People in power influenced Law Enforcement to the point they suffocated the protesters rights.
