Oh about O&A and all of that other stuff. It doesn't matter if there are drug dealers and homeless people in the mix. There is nothing stopping the police from dealing with them on a one-on-one basis. Last time I checked, protestors are not forming a human chain and preventing police from entering the protests.

Hell, even OWS in NYC has complained about the homeless people and drugs ... but it seems like nobody can win ... if they try to clean it up you'll just hear a lot of bellyaching like you did here about OWS not wanting to feed homeless people but it wants socialism and the rich to pay for the poor, etc.

What people are protesting is very clear. Ironically, the movement started by a Canadian activist group. Protestors are against social and economic inequality, corporate greed, lobbyists and government corruption. People act like they don't know what they're protesting because they don't have a list of A, B, C on how to fix what they perceive to be problems, but they don't need to have the solution to express their outrage ... their goal is that the government leaders they elected will step up and answer to the demands of the citizens they represent.

I don't know how people can consider themselves intelligent and then say that OWS doesn't know what they're protesting about when it's been well-documented, down to the root, since the very beginning.
