OWS was a bunch of people out in a park. Most of them seemed to be protesting, generally against Wall Street, its policies and practices.

Others were there for other reasons: freebies, a safer place to sleep than the grate next to the parking garage, some to pick up chicks, some just to make the scene.

The thing it seemed to symbolize to me is that America stopped worshipping the Free Market as the be-all and end-all of our existence as a nation. We expect markets to operate for the benefit of all, not just the 1%.
