BOSTON -- Tensions were high at Dewey Square Thursday night when police took Occupy Boston protesters into custody.

The confrontation started when a protester allegedly brought a sink into the Occupy Boston encampment. According to protesters at the scene, they demanded to know from police why they were blocking the sink from entering the site. 7News was told police took possession of the sink. People then formed a barricade around a police vehicle.

A protester told 7News one person was injured, and police confirmed that three people were taken into custody for disorderly conduct.

Earlier on Thursday, a judge upheld a temporary injunction barring the city from evicting the Occupy protesters from Dewey Square.

I kid you not: the still shot in the video at this report has a cartoon sign of a cat with the caption: Chairman Meow, Supreme Leader Occupy Boston. Well, if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Meow, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.

(Dirty Water)
Down by the river, down by the banks of the River Charles
That’s where you’ll find them—moonbats, hippies, crazies
and thieves
But I hate those dirty moonbats
Oh, Boston, throw them out!

I wonder how these people would react in a communist country?

My plea to the cops: Take the sink, bring back a bathtub.

Easy to imagine. Their eyes would bug out of their faces as they are dragged off yelling “But...but...I’m with YOU guys! I believe in you? What have I done?”

They are always surprised when dragged off after outliving their usefulness.

Caller to WRKO said he had a huge SUV with “dual horns” and he goes right by them at 5 am or so, blaring it to wake them
up. He said the cops give him the thumbs up as he does so.
WRKO host Howie Carr: “Usually those moonbats are up at the
crack of noon.”

Hahaha...great visual. I can see the occutards standing there, waving their fists, and as the sound reaches them when the truck goes by, in turn their heads explode a la Arrek Bahlwin in Team America...

A rolling wave of liberal biotechnics!
