And they completely miss the irony of that statement.
If this is what their philosophy did in one small park, imaging what it would do on a world wide scale.
They've exposed the weakness in the business model.
You could start by establishing the rule of law and protecting property rights.
Or would that conflict with the goals of your protest?
OWS completely misses a practical lesson in the Law of Unintended Consequences. Give away “free stuff” and everybody converges, and many of those are of the type that you wouldn’t ordinarily want to associate with.
‘There are a lot of vultures’
How do the nimwits even get their pants on in the morning?
The Puts are rapidly gathering value on that stock.
“We have drug dealing going on here, gang activity, public intoxication. There are a lot of instigators. There are a lot of vultures. “Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.”
Gee...NOW at least, the ‘occupy’ crowds know how WE feel about THEM!!! :)
>> “Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.”
LOL! And there in a nutshell is the problem with socialism.
This is why Mayor Bloomberg was smart in avoiding a showdown with the protesters. If there were a showdown (like the one in Oakland) the city would lose and the protesters would gain sympathy from the public. Instead Bloomberg has allowed the weather, the criminal element, the homeless and the freak community to erode Occupy Wall Street’s effectiveness.
I attended college in NYC from 1969 to 1973 and went down to check out a few of the anti-war protests that popped up from time-to-time in the city. It was quickly obvious that protests in NYC turn into “freak shows” that draw everyone with a cause and many others who just want to have a good time. New York City thrives on a freak show and the anti-war protests drew them all out. I suspect that Occupy Wall Stree is having the same problem. One advice to anyone who wants to protest in NYC...watch your wallet. The pickpockets are really good in New York.
These people are part of the “community” also. They are part of the “democracy” OWS is so insistant on pushing on all of society.
OWS is turning into Animal Farm.
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
The model here is also illegal immigration. If you cut out the free-bees they will go away too... Just like flies (or cucarachas!)
“Volunteer Lauren Digioia, 26, said, “We have drug dealing going on here, gang activity, public intoxication. There are a lot of instigators. There are a lot of vultures.
“Everyone knows we give out free food and sleeping bags, and it’s a perfect opportunity for squatters.”
The irony here is spectacular.
Lord, please, not four more years of that puss.
‘There are a lot of instigators.’
We conservatives call “instigators” community activists.
‘There are a lot of vultures’.
We conservatives call “vultures” welfare recipients.
Welcome to the REAL WORLD OWS crowd!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
{deep breath}
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
2nd that!!!
