Another thing that's important to keep in mind is that some of the biggest crimes against humanity has happened when the perpetrators claimed to represent the interests of "the 99%" (or "the people" or similar). In reality, they represented what they thought the 99% should want (marxists call it "false consciousness"), and the same is the case here. I'm not saying these protesters have the means or the will to actually go perpetrate serious crimes, but some humility would suit them. If the 99% (or even 50%) really sympathized, there is no point in camping in a park, just run some candidates for office and take over government. The large sums floating around in politics can possibly swing a margin across the middle, but there's no way it can shut up 99%.
