In more than two dozen cities across the nation Tuesday, an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement took on the housing crisis by re-occupying foreclosed homes, disrupting bank auctions and blocking evictions.Hopefully the OWS protesters used the occupation of homes as an opportunity to take a shower. I've heard from several sources that these people, unshowered for months, smell like rotten eggs.
Occupy Our Homes said it's embarking on a "national day of action" to protest the mistreatment of homeowners by big banks, who they say made billions of dollars off of the housing bubble by offering predatory loans and indulging in practices that took advantage of consumers.

Occupy Wall Street comes to your neighborhood
The OWS movement is now protesting foreclosures:
enough already with the dirty hippie meme. yes, people who commit to living in tents to protest the criminality that exists and wall street and in washington aren't going to be particularly clean or smell great. but is that what's important here?
