Crews clean up former Occupy Miami site
Local 10 ^ | 2/13/2012 | Todd Tongen

Crews are working to clean up the damage left behind from the Occupy Miami camp in downtown Miami.

The water has been turned back on, and a dozer is hard at work on what once was the Occupy Miami camp. Protesters were evicted the end of last month, but they left behind quite a mess.

"All the sod here was dead," said Arturo Vidal, a member of the cleanup crew.

That just is wrong.

These occutards destroy public property, then the taxpayers are given the bill to fix the damage. I though all these cities were broke?

Smart mayor would leave the damage as it is and put up signs displaying who is responsible for the damage.
Then send them the bill.

These punks are allowed to act like locusts, destroy then move on.

Why aren’t these places listed as EPA Superfund cleanup sites?

they should leave it like it is. No water (because the occupiers destroyed the sprinklers) no grass (because Obamas occupiers killed it with their urine, feces, and trash) and then the City of Miami ought to erect a new sign and dedicate the park to Obama and call it “Obamas Occupy park”. No better example of his democracy in action can be found than in the deeds of the occupiers. Please have signs advising parents they are certain their kids look for needles and other dangerous paraphernalia before they play on Obamas turf.

Smart mayor would have allowed a short term of occupying. Say 8 hours during daylight. Sleeping on public land is basically vagrancy, and so, no overnight. Go occupy your own locations, if you have one.

The public is NOT picking up the tab for childish behavior of citizens breaking the law when I as major have the responsibility of protecting public property. Shoo fly.

As are the brains of the OWS crowd.

But the mayor’s a DemonRAT, and he’s on the same side as the Occutards.

Implicating who is responsible for the mess would implicate the whole DemonRAT party, all the way up to and including 0bama0 and the Wookie-in-Chief.

That’s the definition of Communism.

Which if memory serves, in every situation where ows has been allowed to run rampant, the mayor has been on the left.

The implications are just as you say. Right up the line to the buck stops here, (no pun intended).

All of these Marxist Mayors and City councils should be required to pay for the repairs OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS, They willfully refused to IGNORE numerous Laws, Statutes,Regulations, and Codes in an effort to make a Political Point,ie it was a Campaign Event and they Broke the Law to Have it, Make them PAY. Still waiting for Lawsuits from Citizens to force ther issue. After All if you or I break the law we will be held financially accountable for ALL COSTS and so should they.

Seeing these headlines from all over the country. Strangely absent since 2008: A single headline about a ‘clean-up’ after a Tea Party protest. Things that make you stop and go, hmmmmm.....

Houston just got rid of their losers occupiers yesterday. Now the taxpayers get to pay for the losers' extended vacation from real life.

In the end, the Occupy movement that called for jobs may have been successful without trying. "It gives some guy a job anyway," DuPree said.

The "Broken Window Fallacy" rears its stupid head again.

Is there a non-DemonRAT mayor anywhere in the country?

Bloomberg doesn’t count, because he’s to the left of most DemonRATs.

Maybe I should be asking, “Is there a non-Leftist mayor anywhere in the country?”

Austin, TX has spent about $800K on cleaning up but they’re still there and have intention of leaving.

I am listening to the Occupy Little Rock show on KABF Little Rock community radio.

They are asking for volunteers to help them clean a local roadside.

They just lectured the public against littering and told everyone “Only TRASH litters”

Too funny!
