1. I can fathom how he can be silent...

Because he's self serving first and foremost. And until OWS serves his interests in such a way that defending them against this abuse will benefit him politically, he will remain silent. And I suspect with polls showing a slight dip in popularity of OWS I wouldn't hold my breath for him to be speaking out any time soon.

And he's not even in the same stratosphere as MLK, so asking why he doesn't live up to those standards is a pointless exercise.
