Screw the Constitution, huh?

You're no libertarian.

I'm all for protesting, during day light hours, and not interfering with the general public. Especially the general public going and coming from work. The General Public, most 99%ers, who are ultimately paying for the unemployment and or social handouts of the downtrodden 99%. (Presuming none of the 1%ers are on food stamps or unemployment but you never know)

The protesters should ask themselves one question next time when setting up. Do the local laws allow overnight camping? If so, bingo that's the spot. For instance in Chicago, lower Wacker Dr. would be an ideal choice. Blocking bridges and roads are no nos. It's not really that hard to protest w/o problems. Maybe look to the Tea Partiers among the Occupy hoard for some guidance. They seemed to do it right the last time.

Also not that they'd want to but protesting specific events at specific times frees up a huge amount of time, as opposed to sitting in a park, and you can even maintain a job, if that's not too much of selling out for them.

While they sit in a park imagining they represent the 99%, they watch 90% of the 99 pass by on the way to work each weekday.
