I need to say this and yes I'll be accused of being a troll, but the public and even NY1 is becoming indifferent to the OWS cause, why because 1) the public has better things to do than continue to tune into a protest that has no message, it's like watching paint dry, 2) because only the nutcases of OWS get coverage. Time to think about going home.
Plus the real bad guys are in Washington, not only on Wall Street. That's where the power is. Willie Sutton robbed banks because that's where the money is. #OWS should occupy DC in massive numbers because Washington is where the power is.
There is a message every time a protester is arrested in direct opposition to the intent of the 1st and 14th amendments. There is message in the arrests at the NY bank where customers were held hostage by security forces and hauled away to jail. There is a message in the biased coverage by media, and the lack of coverage by main stream media. Your personal need for something fast and attention grabbing probably does reflect some portion of our society, but more people get it than do not, I think.
