What has the OWS movement accomplished ?

Quote:
J.P. Morgan joins U.S. Bancorp, Citigroup Inc., PNC Financial Services Group Inc., KeyCorp
and other large banks that have said in recent days that they won't impose monthly fees on debit cards.
None of those banks said they made their decisions because of the outcry over Bank of America's fees.
OK, so they did not make their decision because of BofA.

Quote:
"We looked at all options and quickly decided it didn't fit with our overall strategy,"
said David Bowen, who runs the consumer-product business at Cleveland-based Key,
which ranks among the 20 largest banks in the country.
What they saw as their option was a gathering of Occupy Cleveland !

The news media is headlining arrests of OWS protestors in various cities.
Occupy Oregon is being named in the headlines.
Here is the tone of arrests in our city:

The latest arrests came early this morning in Portland, Ore.,
where protesters remained in a park in the affluent Pearl District
past the midnight curfew, after city officials had told them not to expand
their encampments beyond the parks they had already occupied.

There was no violence, as protesters showed no resistance,
and most went limp so police had to carry or drag them away.
