Inside the Ring

INSIDE OCCUPY D.C.

People monitoring the Occupy D.C. movement tell Inside the Ring that the two encampments are fast becoming health hazards. Numerous protesters also recently were sickened with unusual respiratory illnesses.

The major emerging problem for the leftists camped out in tents at McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza is rats. The rodents appear to be moving into the area by the hundreds, and their numbers are increasing daily.

The McPherson camp appears be where more radical leftists are based. An observer familiar with the McPherson camp said one distinctive smell coming from the park area is that of methamphetamine being smoked.

Among the flags being flown by some protesters are those from the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and al Qaeda.

Ugh!
Something must be done about those filthy, disgusting, dangerous creatures... and get rid of the rats, too

I would assume some tea party types unloaded crates of rats near that location.

Straight out of a recent episode of "Grimm."

“Is this how the Bubonic plague started?”

A plague on both your houses? Too bad...
most all the other bums and vermin just left on
their Christmas vacation.

Both these parks are smack in the middle of business districts, where normal people (kinda) go to work every day. I heard they can’t even get off at the Metro stop near their offices but have to be shuttled because of these pigs. But it’s all A-OK with Barry, Nancy and Hizzoner, Mayor Gray of DC. Disgusting.

Birds or rather rats of a feather flock together.

Seems tome that the "observer" must also know what the "distinctive smell" of meth being smoked is!

I didn't even know there was such a thing!

rat numbers are growing at the Occupy site. And there are also more rodents being found.
