I've seen plenty of videos. Oakland seems to come to mind.

You're right, it isn't fair. But no one owns their own land or house. The banks and state own everything. Don't believe me? Try not making any mortgage payment or property tax; see how long it takes the "land lords" to claim their property.
This is why stuff like this can happen. I feel your pain. I've experienced something similar.

Taken from me? Nothing. They couldn't. They know better even through the smoke they can see it would be a very bad idea.

You obviously know very little about the occupy movement. It isn't about a bunch of squatters whining about what they aren't getting. It is, and always has been, about the influence that big banks and corporations have in politics and policy making that allows them to gain large amounts of wealth at the expense of a nations people. It doesn't detail those that have worked hard to obtain their own money.
Whoever told you otherwise is completely wrong and there are large amounts of people going to these occupations without knowing what they are about. This isn't about a bunch of dirty jobless hippies who just want to whine and moan, this is about hard working americans that put their nose to the grind for near nothing while a small percentage of individuals who know how to pull the strings through special interest groups and lobbyist tactics do hardly nothing and gain more than their fair share. This is about those small few that reap what other people sow.

Thank you.
That is a very well written interpretation of events.
Here is what I see...
I see a lot of people who accepted loans from banks that they couldn't afford. A lot of people living a lifestyle they couldn't afford. Many of those people lost their jobs and couldn't make the mortgage payment. Now thay want to blame the banks.

I'm not falling for that.
If you're taking out a $250,000 loan you need to do your homework.
I know the banks are crooks. Come on that's not a very good excuse. Nobody had a problem with the banks until they wanted their money back.
Then another person comes along and decides to “occupy” the land and the house. Now this is where I get confused. The second person didn’t buy the land or house. They weren’t gifted the land or house. But for some reason they feel it is their right to take the land and house.
It’s like if I leave my car parked somewhere. It’s still my car even though it’s parked. You can’t take it.
I don’t understand what makes a person feel it is okay to steal another person’s home?
