Occupy Boston’s “vision” of democracy: racism, crime and third world conditions
Flopping Aces ^ | 12-01-11 | Mataharley

We now have a clearer picture of what the "occupy" movement has planned for their version of a new America... and it's a society that is riddled with drug crimes, sexual assaults, arguments, third world conditions and racism. Proudly solidified in the the ACLU's brief introduction, filed in the Suffolk Superior Court on behalf of the Occupy Boston movement, is a rather twisted vision of what the movement insists is "what Democracy should look like."

Citizens walking by Dewey Square on Atlantic Avenue - or stopping in at Occupy Boston to satisfy their curiosity about what Occupy Boston is all about - see all of this in action; the tent city, the community complete with a library, medical facilities, media and the community's legislature. They see that the exemplar community visually before them is what Occupy Boston protestors believe and advocate democracy should look like; a more just, more democratic, more economically egalitarian system than the current version of democracy in the United States.

Okay... I'll bite. Is this the new utopia in our future?

Even if the accommodations look less appealing than the the digs of the POTUS Kenyan brother, what about the civil society they tout as superior? According to the Boston Police Commissioner, even as recently as yesterday, the increase in crimes for drug sales, vandalism and assaultive behavior has ticked up dramatically, and cost the city taxpayers up to $750,000 in police overtime so far. Also on the rise is prostitution.

Crime is just one perk of this utopian vision. The city's health officials find the poor storage of food is attracting rodents, and there's a dearth of showers and toilets for the 134 tents in this version of "democracy". Barbara Ferrer, executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission, has visited this utopian dream and observed "some occupants defecating in the Dewey Square shrubbery," and reveled in the pungency of human urine.

“It is my opinion that the camp, in its current condition, provides an environment that can facilitate the spread of viruses and communicable diseases,’’ Barbara Ferrer, executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission, wrote in an affidavit.

“Further, the condition of the camp, transient nature of the campers, and lack of an identifiable or accountable person to consistently employ health and safety measures can result in the spread of serious and potentially life threatening illness among the campers,’’ she wrote.

She added, “These health hazards will not abate if the current conditions are allowed to persist.’’

Also less than thrilled with this new vision of "democracy" is Boston Fire Marshal Bart Shea, calling it appalling and a "chaotic scene. What with all the smoking, and disposing cigarettes near combustible debris, incense burning; and dangerous extension cords, the place is a fire trap. It's dangerous not only for the utopian denizens, but constitutes an obstacle course for firemen. While "winterizing" this already idyllic setting, draping flammable tarps over already risky tent materials, firemen face serious trip hazards by poorly placed ropes used to secure the tents.

As the pièce de résistance... or icing on the cake, if you prefer... this little democratic utopia has now had one of it's ostracized own, Jamal Crawford, break away from the group and form another - citing charges of racism.

I’m sure most elite libs fear giving voice to what they truly think about the denizens of Occupandia. I’d like to see the wretches currently infesting the public areas of many American cities show up on the doorsteps of all the rich, snooty libs who claim to love and support them. The filthy parasites would probably be met with a 12 gauge shotgun.

Thanks Starman417.

Maybe forcing the Occutards from one place to another to achieve racial integration would help.

:: a society that is riddled with drug crimes, sexual assaults, arguments, third world conditions and racism. ::

All approved (or not) by a consensus of wiggly fingers. What infantile intelligence this is!

OWS vision: Bring everybody down to the lowest common denominator. Equality of outcome. Do nothing, end up in the same place as the guy who’s breaking his back.

Probably one of the less interesting movements in America.
