South Station’s users rail vs. Occupy

Commuters and merchants in South Station say they are fed up with Occupy Boston squatters who are hogging electrical outlets and taking sponge baths in bathroom sinks, turning the bustling terminal into a unsanitary locker room.

Transportation officials said they have sealed up some outlets after fearful commuters worried Occupy members powering up electronic gadgets close to ATM machines could see PIN numbers being punched in. Yet, there’s no quick solution to sharing the bathroom.

“The bathrooms seem more crowded and grimier,” said Roy Woodton, 36, a banker from Attleboro as he rushed to catch a train yesterday.

“They are always asking for food, for handouts,” said Eva Yuen, a manager at Serenade Chocolatier inside the station. “They smell intoxicated. It’s a mess.”

Eva could have stopped at "They smell."

They won’t occupy the Boston Public Library, because the facilities there are too gross already!

Just like the Tea Party! Damn, the similarities are astounding.

...Occupy Boston squatters who are hogging electrical outlets and taking sponge baths in bathroom sinks...

These turds don't sound very "environmentally friendly" to me. Why would anyone who spews the garbage they spew need an electrical outlet?

“Eva could have stopped at “They smell.””

The breath...they probably dine on the “Police Car Hood” special of the day.

I wonder if Willie Green is with this crew occupying the train station...

I hope Boston is getting a good look at Obama’s base, and what the future of Obama’s Amerikkka looks like.

They’ll still continue to vote solid Democrat, of course.

A couple of decades, or more..,I worked in New York City and had to go through Grand Central Station. The “Homeless” had taken over the benches to sleep on and The police kept rousting them from the benches. The homless also took over the scores of lockers to store their belongings. I don't know what was in those lockers but there were always liquids draining from them that stunk to high heaven. Eventually they solved the problem by removing the lockers in their entirety.

Ah, the sweet smell of ....failure.

Understatement of the week: Alex Ingram, a spokesman for the leaderless Occupy Boston movement, . . . “We try to assume that everyone knows how to behave themselves in a public place. It’s an assumption that might be misguided,”

Especially when they have no standards.
