They are the vestiges of Occupy, which is shrinking and failing for want of leadership and direction. Aimless troublemakers with a few talking points of complaint, and ZERO solutions. A great idea squandered by failure to follow through.

Im a little disappointed, said Darrell Prince, 36, of Brooklyn, an original member of Occupy Wall Street who was also in Tampa last week. I feel like theres certainly enough people who are upset right now. Congress has a 9 percent approval rate.
