Each picture is more disgusting than the one before. I could hardly keep my lunch down. American young people are willing to live this way, for what? A gigantic lie?

The kids’ parents, moveon.org, Soros, their friends in the media, unions... the list goes on and on.

I understand the protest now.

Why live like people when we can all live like pigs?

So, what is going on now. I watched this earlier today and it seemed the protesters chanted success.

re your tagline: I believe we have gone downhill as a country ever since the starvation murder of Terri Schindler Schiavo.

Our tax money is being used to clean it all up, though.

Disgusting.

That’s what you call squalor. Maybe their goal is to turn city parks across America into turd-world refugee encampments. How does any of this help their false-righteous goal of sticking it to ‘the man’?

It's been a long slide but the murder of Terri Schiavo was certainly a milestone IMO.

The JFK assassination, Roe v Wade, the “Dynasty” mentality of the 80s...Teddy Kennedy's immigration bill.....

How bad does it have to get before we turn back - or will we ever? I fear for the children of today.

The ones chanting about it being “their street” and “Their park” apparently are clueless about who pays for those street and parks. Those were beautiful parks and it makes me sick to see the destruction.

My son is a Sgt. with the Police Bureau, and I stayed up until 4 AM because I was worried about the safety of the Police, especially after the mounted patrol officer was injured. Watching live this morning/afternoon at http://www.katu.com/news/live

Those people’s rights end where mine begin. They need to get the hell out of town, IMO.

They can’t be too badly off since most have fancy cell phones doing texting etc. I can’t afford one of those!

For a free ride it’s what lazy people expect other people to foot the bill.See 60’s hippy movement.

I don't get it. Why can't the city just close the parks from, say, midnight to 6am. And say no camping allowed.

It is their own fault for letting this happen. Same is true for all the cities having to deal with this ridiculous "protest." No one has given one good reason they are protesting. It is just a joke.

The PPB showed remarkable restraint and coolness under an extremely tense situation. God bless them all.

BTW, PPB spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson is one big dude! Just saw him a few minutes ago on KOIN.

The police seemed very restrained, so I hope it ends well. The occupods need to go home, NOW. No one is impressed.

You can’t help but wonder how long this fiasco would continue if the popular media were to leave...without the ‘publicity’, the whiners would have no audience nor any reason to stick around, either.

What the majority of them need (and needed several years ago) was a good spanking...I’m not talking about child abuse here but rather some form of discipline to make them understand they are responsible for their own actions.
