BERKELEY, Calif. — Goodbye, city park, hello, college green.

As city officials around the country move to disband Occupy Wall Street encampments amid growing concerns over health and public safety, protesters have begun to erect more tents on college campuses.

“We are trying to get mass numbers of students out,” said Natalia Abrams, 31, a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, and an organizer with Occupy Colleges, a national group coordinating college-based protesters.

Though only a handful of colleges have encampments, tents went up last week at Harvard in Cambridge, Mass., and here at the University of California, Berkeley. Additionally, protesters in California have vowed to occupy dozens of other campuses in the coming days....

If I were a student or parent paying tuition to a college that allowed these leftists to camp out at their campus, I'd be all over the higher-ups.

A large number of students would initially support the slime.

Nothing that a little sleep deprivation won’t cure. Set up loud speakers and pump noise into the area 24/7. That should drive them out.

They are like parasites moving from one public funded organization or place to another.

This seems like an ironic final step.

The so-called "99%" all complain of crushing college debt, so why not move onto the college campuses and set up a tent as your new home?

I'm envisioning the moment when the Occupation, in their increasingly brazen and distorted interpretation of the 1st Amendment, attempts to march on and occupy the property of someone protected by the 4th Amendment.

And may they exercise their 2nd Amendment rights when our cowed law enforcement castrati refuse to intervene on behalf of the property owners.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

The post above is a selection from the FRchives, specifically, from the OWS, Occupy Wall Street, and Occupy keywords.

Poetic justice. I hope the liberal professors who spawned these idiots have to wade through their garbage every day as they trot off to their classes.

Most college campuses are WAY more enabling than city governments. They’ll be handled with kid gloves.

I hope they set up their tents in the faculty parking lots.

My analogy is that of Frankenstein’s monster turning on its creator.
