Your duty as a Christian is to obey Jesus. Jesus has the words of eternal life. He is the way,truth, and the life.
This is man's way and man's truth and a man's life, not that of Jesus.
It is good to care for poor and sick and widows, this is good. But the gospel of Jesus is the only power unto salvation. Not these protests.
May Jesus bless you

Ram, God's plan is carried out in many ways, all ways, now, that said , there are good ways to do things and bad. We should not judge people in protests or anything else.
What should we do?
Good question, I think everyone agrees...
The Lord leads , the Lord allows, the Lord provides, all things to ALL people, sinners, non-sinners, Muslims, Christians, Catholics, Mormons, ALL. Now, people accepting what the Lord gives is another thing. Now, people accepting what the Lord allows (hint: think God allowing Satan to attack Job) is another thing entirely Now, people following the Lord is not a given. People have been given free choice, true dat since the beg. of time.
Now then, how will you help forward God's plan for humankind?
THAT , Ram, is completely and only , ultimately, between God and any given individual (His eye is on all of us, 'sparrow') , it is a PERSONAL relationship between you and God.
OWS is a movement of many issues , reasons, wants, and, perhaps, in future, these things will become 'demands' and IF enough people think the same way and things do not change, then, the Lord leads but the obvious thing to happen next would be like the 1968 French's response to government failure and economic gross unfairness...
Revolution.

Liam, you say you are a poor college student in college NOW .
...Saying 'that' means you can be in sympathy with those of OWS, but not empathy because you are not experiencing what these RECENT COLLEGE GRADS are experiencing. There are NO jobs, the country lost 8 million jobs in last 5 years and got back now , thru October 2011, 2.75 million of those 8 million jobs LOST back...
Ok, green, so that's good, as Darwinian economics is at work , the 'bests' and 'betters' are getting the jobs, the ones not qualified are not. Survival of the fittest, works for me. Equal opportunity, not equal outcome, my ideology completely.
Ok, liam, fair enough, and, in some ways, true enough, but....what IF you boil the #s down to averages and the FACT that of the 100,000 jobs added in August 2011 50,000 of them were McDonalds employment, in other words, MOSTLY minimum wage jobs.
These people on the streets are NOT college kids , as you say, liam, they are graduates of college with good education and the MAJORITY of the 2.75 million jobs created in last couple years are 'mcdonslds' jobs and now comes the Christmas season and the jobs #s will continue to be skewed from Macy's, Sears, PART-TIME jobs that mostly pay...minimum wage.
So these OWS folks are largely, I think, college GRADS , with 40,000 in loans to pay off and NO way to pay then off. And, sure, the Mcdonalds jobs are out there but minimum wage jobs give you POVERTY income.
