These protests are going to continue until the economy picks up. They will get worse until things turn around too.
This is the normal course of things. The cities need to work with the protesters as much as possible to allow the protest without too much danger to the protesters and other citizens who are still employed and trying to get on with their lives.
Limiting their freedom to protest and assemble will just make things worse. This is not China. Folks will not allow the govt to run over the protesters with tanks, literally or symbolicly.
Our congress needs to act like grown ups and move to solve the problems. Once folks have jobs they will go to work instead of the protest.
