That doesn't even address the fact that they are trying to convince the WRONG PEOPLE. If OWS convinced every single person in the Oakland city government that economic justice is needed, what would change?

Nothing.

Because the people who are responsible for our current mess are the legislators in Washington.

It isn't stealing when our legislators say, "Here. Take what you want."

I don't know how best to get their attention but this kind of approach is definitely wrong.
