“The true victims of the OWS hubbaloo are the taxpayers and the business owners near Zuccotti Park.”
Well put. But the victims extend far beyond Zuccotti Park. They exist in every municipality where local govts have had to spend extra $$$ for police coverage as well as sanitation.
In the case of Minneapolis, both the city and Hennepin County (neither of which is flush with cash these days) have spent lots in LEO and Public Works overtime.
I’m not sure that this fact (as well as the example of what happened to businesses like Milk Street Cafe) has resonated with these self-absorbed protestors.

I think they do know and they don’t care.
