While the occupy folks may be bringing public and government attention to issues and abuses/regulatory negligence in the financial sector, this is clearly the wrong battle to try to fight in this manner. In other "occupy" movements, the protesters are typically on public property and have some standing to be there with regard to their constitutional rights for free speech, free association and assembly. BNSF property is private property and I am of the impression that trespass on rr property is a federal crime. Probably unlike in other instances in public parks and streets, these folks will find themselves arrested rather swiftly,(we can hope, before someone gets killed).
