Riot police surround Occupy Wall Street camp
CBS News ^ | November 15, 2011 | Tucker Reals .

Police in riot gear surrounded New York City's Zuccotti Park late Tuesday evening, and distributed fliers to the Occupy Wall Street protesters camped out there for weeks ordering them to evacuate the grounds while maintenance is carried out.

CBS News correspondent Randall Pinkston reports the police fliers informed the anti-Wall Street demonstrators that they would be allowed to return to the park after the maintenance was conducted.

The nature of the work, and how long it might take, were unclear.

Live video from the WCBS news helicopter showed police surrounding the park, but there was no confrontation between police or protesters immediately visible....

I was thinking the same thing. Should they be quarantined and until they are seen by a doctor?

Yup. These are the people that he stands in solidarity with. It speaks volumes about who he really is doesn’t it. He agrees with people who defecate on the American flag, hang it upside down, and just looove Che!

Thank you, you ass wipes who elected this piece of human excrement. That includes some of my relatives. God forgive me for being so uncharitable. I’m just not in a charitable mood today. Can’t help it.

Yes, way past time. Now these other little encampments elsewhere need to be cleaned up too.

I would think that would be a good idea, but getting the protesters to cooperate is probably a slim to none chance... Especially now, when we’ve seen drug-resistant TB show up, I think they SHOULD be quarantined and evaluated - especially if they’re infested with fleas, and lice which bring along a host of other diseases as well. It’s rather frightening to deal with a ‘camp’ in modern times that might as well have been a Civil War camp when it comes to sanitation and disease conditions. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been worse than what’s being reported already — then again I’m not under the impression that we’ve been told everything that has happened at these places, either.

This whole OWS movement stinks of Alinsky which stinks of Obama. I still say it is his plan for his surrogates to gin up violence and blame it on the Tea Party.

I guess he’s hoping for maximum chaos with OWS so he can declare martial law, cancel elections, and be Dear Leader for the duration.

This is just a dry run. There will be blood in the streets this summer. In every city in the country.

And Obama vacay’s in Hawaai with his fat ass wife going to gardens and farms promoting healthy food as she pigs out like a pig when the cameras are off.

They're waiting for the Hazmat teams to show up?

“Play heavy-metal music. It worked on South Park in the Hippy Infestation episode. Also, water cannon. That just plain works.”

LOL LOL That’s right! Play death metal a la Slayer - they’ll go running out the park with their ears covered...gotta love Parker and Stone. I know they don’t have a lot of adherents here, but when they’re not too disgusting they’re hysterical. Thanks for that image - made me smile with my morning coffee!

What right do the police have to tell the “protestors” they can return to the park?

Isn’t the park private property? It should be up to the landowner.

Meanwhile, businesses near the park have lost $500,000 in business since this nonsense began.

LOL — I love South Park, too. When it’s not too crude it IS hysterical. I especially love when they smack down the stupid hippies!

AC/DC and Metallica like our Marines used in Fallujah would probably work nicely on OWS, too. I don’t think we’ll need the snipers, tanks, and Gatling guns just yet though... LOL

What, no snipers, tanks and Gatling guns yet?...Hmmm...I don’t know about that...keep your eye on NYC Thurs - they evidently plan lots of confrontations - blocking subway entrances etc. This is part of the Cloward-Piven plan - create chaos, riots and mass confusion so the govt can have an excuse to step in and clamp down with iron fist/Marxist control. I feel like going down there and engaging with them mano a mano - but probably not a great idea for a 59-year-old woman - I do have some purple Doc Martens that could cause some damage with a well-placed kick, though!!!

Lol - Oh, and remember the SP episode where Cartman and his buddies are hired to clear out an infestation of hippies from an old lady’s house? Cartman looks around and says something like, “Oh, yeah...it looks like you’ve got hippies...first you see one or two, and pretty soon you have a drum circle...” LOL!!!

Really want them to vacate the area? Play about 30 years worth of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys!

But then, even the people who live there would vacate the area!

I like Bob Wills, but it is an aquired taste!

Why did the liberal mayors oust the Occupier/scumbags this week?
self | 15 November 2011 | self

Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 7:35:12 AM by Grampa Dave

Why have so many major cities turned on the Occupiers?

The liberal mayors/leaders of Oakland, Portland, New York City and other cities, this week have decided that the Occupier/scumbags are not welcome. Across the nation liberal mayors have sent in cops in their cities , to move the scumbags out of their encampments and tear down their encampments.

So what has happened and why this week?

Did the mayors finally wake and realized that these scumbags were not the 99% of he/she/its in white hats?

Did the merchants in the impacted areas finally convince the mayors that their businesses were being devastated and would not have a lot of sales tax $‘s to give to the cities due to their lost business?

Did the mayors finally listen to Public Health Doctors/Nurses and others that these encampments were huge germ/virus pools that could threaten large sections of the city’s population not involved?

Did the daily rapes/murders/robberies/fights in the encampments finally wake up the mayors?

Did the mayors fear a massive backlash from independent and working democrat voters in their cities or even recalls?

There was probably a lot of the above and other factors that influenced the mayors.

How about another factor. Did the DNC run focus groups of working voters in those cities and find out that the Occupier scumbags in each city were probably costing the Democrats votes across the nation?

Well, something happened, and it probably was not a coincidence, that this week, the left wing mayors of these liberal cities across America, decided to take out the Occupier Garbage, human and infectious garbage.
