Patience Tested Over Waste, Crime at Protest Sites (Filthy Occupy Wall Street Protesters)

NEW YORK (AP) — Fed up with petty crime, the all-night racket of beating drums, the smell of human waste and the sight of trampled flowers and grass, police and neighbors are losing patience with some of the anti-Wall Street protests around the U.S.

In Oakland, Calif., police in riot gear fired tear gas and bean bags before daybreak Tuesday to disperse about 170 protesters who had been camping in front of City Hall for the past two weeks, and 75 people were arrested.

The mayor of Providence, R.I., is threatening to go to court within days to evict demonstrators from a park.

And businesses and residents near New York's Zuccotti Park, the unofficial headquarters of the movement that began in mid-September, are demanding something be done to discourage the hundreds of protesters from urinating in the street and making noise at all hours.

Lol. Even Yahoo News is reporting this....

Seriously, yes, there are problems on Wall Street, within the SEC (worthless, imho), and in corporate America, but these “protesters” are not articulating their concerns in any way that could be labeled cogent or even sane.

I thought perhaps at first that the Media was slanting their coverage to make them appear like they’re all high on pot and only out to score with the hot activist white chick from Brown....guess what? Very little slant. (sigh) Activism isn’t what it used to be. Lol.

These are 0bama's, Pelosi's, Reid's, Durbin's people.

This is the world that Democrats endorse.

Use environmental protection laws to close the site, dumping raw sewage in the NYC bodies of water is illegal.

Yes, and be sure to use the bleach injector attachment along with it.

I live 3 blocks from the Oakland site. Can’t say I am sorry to see it go. It attracted a lot of scary people into the neighborhood who may or may not have been “official occupiers,” whatever that means.

"officials can't wait much longer to address hazards such as smoking in tightly packed tents, camp layouts that hinder emergency access, and exposure to human waste."

Get used to it. If America continues its descent into decadence, this will replace ALL American cities: no more cities, just trash dumps like this all across America.

"City officials in Oakland had initially been supportive of the protesters... But...sexual assault...a severe beating...a fire...paramedics were denied access to the camp...threatening behavior...rats...fire hazards...public urination."

Get used to it. That's what decadence is. That and much, much worse!

Oh! And note tagline!

I say let it go on.

The MSM does everything it can to make leftists seem like normal, concerned people and conservatives seem like neurotic haters. This can happen because the MSM conspires to hide the creepiness of the left. Well, OWS is ripping that little lie right open. I say let it all hang out.

police in riot gear fired tear gas ...

It would be cheaper (and more effective) to hand out job applications. That would have them running like the cockroaches they are......
