The Occupy Wall Street people are a small group of marginals that will never amount to anything. While there is a great deal of dissatisfaction at political gridlock, special interests and the way that the market was not allowed to operate to punish bankers for their obscene compensation in the midst of colossal idiocy, the vast majority of Americans believe in capitalism, believe in free markets and believe in limited government, and the OWS types are really the 1% - that is, the 1% of Americans who are radical socialists or anti-globalists. They aren't creating a coherent agenda because they realize their skewed world view is inherently unpopular and because they are incapable of formulating anything approaching a logical platform.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

They have to be doing something else before you can lawfully arrest them.
