I'm all for freedom of assembly but...where exactly do these people work and/or go to school that they can take three weeks off to live in the park? They do work ... for you and I. I can only assume they are either milking the unemployment system for everything it's worth with the excuse that "there are no jobs". Or they are welfare recipients being given free food and Section 8 housing so they can afford all the luxuries like cell phones, widescreen TV's, and nice cars while people like us actually pay our bills and mortgages and not blame everyone else for lack of proper personal financial management. ... just a guess.

I also spent some time in the pacific NW in the Seattle area. There are plenty of protests there on a daily basis and you'd be surprised that a lot of the protesters are paid employees. There are ads in the paper for "protesters needed" paying $10/hr or more to hold a sign.
