For Some, Wall Street Is Main Street

Ms. Tzortzatos’s tolerance for the newcomers finally vanished when the sink was broken and fell to the floor. She installed a $200 lock on the bathroom to thwart nonpaying customers, angering the protesters.
“I’m looked at as the enemy of the people,” she said.

In a widely distributed pamphlet, “Welcome to Liberty Plaza: Home of Occupy Wall Street,” participants were instructed where to find relief. “After you’ve dined,” it reads, “feel free to refresh yourself in the restrooms of neighboring businesses like Burger King and McDonald’s without feeling obligated to buy anything.”
A manager of the Burger King in question said he had no trouble with the protesters, though a maintenance worker at the McDonald’s, Deon Cook, said that in recent days he had been forced to clean the bathroom every five minutes.

I prefer the Conservative alternative, Occupy White House.
When liberals have to put up with unemployed liberals messing up their home it’s different!
Bunch of pigs. This is the USA Obammy and the Dems want.
Well I’m sure the White House will open it’s doors to Washington protesters so the they can use the facilities. On the other hand, it seems like it wouldn’t make any difference if the protesters just camped out at the White House. They’d fit right in the current Commie occupants.
someone needs to follow the money
who is buying the food for these people?
These anti-capitalists sure are engaging in an awful lot of capitalism.
Somehow I ended getting this crap from “National People’s Action”, 810 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL 60642! Who are these pricks?
Dear:....
From Wall Street to Los Angeles (and everywhere in between) — community, labor and the Occupiers are coming together.
We are witnessing a new day for the movement to hold Wall Street accountable for crashing our economy and throwing millions of families out of their homes and out of work.
This is OUR time, and our mission is clear: Build a new economy from the ashes of the old.
How do we get there? First, we must march, rally, protest, educate, and act boldly to take back our democracy from the grips of Wall Street bankers.
This week we saw massive protests in New York and California. Next week, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver and other cities will bring tens of thousand of people into the streets to demand change.
Our Demands: Stop foreclosures; Keep families in their homes; Close corporate loopholes; Fix our bridges, roads and schools, and make banks like Bank of America pay their taxes.
There are two things that you can do right now to make a difference.
First, join your friends, co-workers, and neighbors in the streets. Find an action near you and get in contact with the lead organizations.
Take over bank lobbies. Move your money. Hold bankers’ feet to the fire and make them pay U.S. back for all they took from us.
Second, support the movement.
We need more boots on the ground and more buses to get people toe-to-toe with industry ‘leaders’ who have taken so much, and given so little back.
Give $25 dollars today and we’ll send you the same hot-off-the-press t-shirt that people will be wearing as they shut down the Mortgage Bankers Association Conference on Monday in Chicago.
As we march into battle, we’ll have one solid, clear message – “Jobs Now! Make Wall Street Pay.”
Funds from the t-shirts will support similar actions in the days to come, and provide survivors of the bank-caused recession a chance to confront those who have downgraded our neighborhoods and walked away Scott-free.
Support the movement today with a $25 donation, and help us make the message loud and clear: “Jobs Now, Pay Your Fair Share!”
Thank you for all that you do,
National People’s Action (NPA)
This is why Soviet Russia and eastern Europe was the hellhole it was: In Communism, when everything belongs to everyone, nobody takes responsibility for anything.
Somehow, many of these protesters want our country to be like that.
For some reason I woke up with this tin foil hat on this morning and I got this crazy idea that this whole protesting thing may be a put up job that may be meant to follow in Hugo Chavez’s footsteps when he took over his country.
At first the media asking these people what they were protesting, were finding out that no body could give them a good answer as to why they were there. And then yesterday I saw on Fox that some of the protesters were paid illegals carrying signs that they couldn’t even read because they don’t even speak english.
That made me think about the article from some blog or something that I read back before this whole thing started that said that many leftist groups were planning a march. So all these leftist groups, socialists, communists and what not, were coming together for what? And Nancy Palosi welcoming them? Something’s wrong.
Didn’t obama’s hero, Hugo Chavez, take over after protesters start rioting?
I probably need to get me a cup of coffee to clean the cob webs out of my brain so I’ll stop having tin foil hat kinda thoughts.

Ahh... the old “business is evil, now buy my stuff” pitch.
People everywhere are told to freely trespass and disrupt legitimate business. But to occupy the official shirt of the movement will cost you 25 bucks. (no doubt BOA Visa accepted)
Illegal Occupation. It’s not just for border states anymore.
Great, now we need a wall AND a net.
She wants to start an Occupy-(Her home town).
Lord.
Is it just me, or does anybody else love the filthy, commie awesomeness of the NY Times turning on their own? What could be sweeter than Manhattan super-libs becoming vexed by the eye-watering funk of bone headed bohemians bathing in the basins at local bistros? BOOOOYAAA! They have worn out their welcome already. The merchants, local residents, the cops, and the mayor are all ready to say goodbye to these fools. They are just being themselves...that’s right, they’re stinking, noisy freeloaders. Hopefully, with some bad weather and colder temperatures they’ll vanish.
They OCCUPY NY in lieu of an ability to hold an actual OCCUPATION.
The filthy pigs always do.
They have no respect for others property.
