...why aren't there ten or twenty thousand people protesting against it in front of the White House 24 hours a day 7 days a week? Because that would do it.
If all the Code Pink and MoveOn people plus others were there this occupation would come to an end. Might see some protesters getting their heads busted with police batons on live television, but that alone would change some minds in a hurry.
We, myself included, appear pretty passive about this.

2. Those didn't look like jobless Hippies protesting outside Gores residence in 2000 |
|
They looked like Freepers.
Regardless, they got the job done.
