Protesters in New York city, as well as other major cities, have every right to be occupying public areas, last time I checked the Constitution at least. Their rights are protected under the first amendment so long as they are peacefully protesting. In all the videos I have seen, it appears as if they are thus far.
The one issue nobody seems to be addressing is what the goal of these protestors are. Leaders of the protest groups even admit that they are unsure of what their final goals are. Protestors in the Occupy Wall Street demonstration even admitted as much in a press release, that I saw Jon Steward discuss on The Daily Show.
I am all for protesting against injustice, but at least know what it will take to get your group to stop. I agree that the highest 1 percent of tax payers should give a bigger percent of their income to their taxes. If legislation is passed though, will it get the protestors to leave? Nobody really seems to have an answer.
