I don't really think squatting on public property is part of the protest itself (and if it is, is part of what sunk their support because the taxpayers they wanted to win over had to foot their bill, no matter how much it works out to per person...that is, besides no having any unified message as an occupy camp).
Eh they just need to play the victim one more time, instead of "we hope the discussion will continue" they've chosen "we've been silenced" as their swan song. If anything they are probably feeling a little defeated because they didn't "change the world" with their little camp out.

Nobody likes to say goodbye at the end of summer camp.
