SAN DIEGO (AP) -- San Diego police on Friday used pepper spray to break up a human chain formed by anti-Wall Street demonstrators at a downtown plaza where they've camped for a week.

Police in the early morning began removing about a half-dozen tents after warning demonstrators their personal belongings couldn't stay in the Occupy San Diego camp. Demonstrators can continue protesting without the tents, tarps and tables, authorities said.

One man was arrested before 8 a.m. for interfering with a police officer after he sat down and refused to take away his tent, police Lt. Andra Brown said. After he and his tent were removed, other demonstrators erected another tent and formed a human chain around it.

Shortly before noon, officers pulled apart the protesters and used pepper spray to disperse them.

No one was arrested or injured during that action, assistant Chief Boyd Long said. But protesters said several demonstrators were suffering burning eyes from the pepper spray.

At some point in this idiocy someone is going to get killed and all this acting-out by these drug-addled, spoiled brats isn’t going to be funny anymore.

Forget pepper spray or tasers. How about throwing them some job applications? That’ll make them disperse faster than French soldiers with an order to charge.

With any luck, some of them were wearing “Ron Paul For President” T-shirts as they got zapped.

Even if they weren’t, I’m going to pretend that they were. The thought of that just makes me :)

Heeheehee

The top graphic is very, very revealing.

“Ron Paul voters against voting and capitalism”. Hmmmm.....

Oh, look! They’re marching with a guy with an Obama, er, uh, Osama bin Laden t-shirt.

Ever, so interesting.......

Perhaps Charlie Rangel can give me some pointers. I hear he’s a master slum lord.

It’s a fear we all share, I can assure you.

If that happens Bush, Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, and the Tea Party will be blamed. That’s all the media knows.....

He ain’t no slumlord. You actually have to do something to achieve my rarefied air. He is the demon of all demons in a real estate community. An absentee Landlord. Now that is a whole different thing and not a good one.

They should have sprayed the filthy, little piggies with Febreze and then watch ‘em run.

Forget the pepper spray, sray the vermin with deer musk. It would improve their odor and might even change their attitudes. Isn’t ‘change’ what their little barry bassturd campaigned on? ... I hope to tell ya! You betcha!

You live up there? I used to hang out on the Upper East Side with my Ad Exec friends after Rudy cleaned the place up. Sorry to hear this filth is back again.

These freeloaders want total government control. Ron Paul wants a government about the size that it was in 1792. So how does this make sense?

Thank you both! It’s like an early Hanukkah present!

No, I live in Houston, (when I'm stateside) but one of my sisters lives on the Upper East Side. I try to get up to NYC about once a year. I love hanging out there, seeing my sis and plus I'm a total theater geek and have to get my fix. :-)

We were downtown Monday doing touristy stuff and encountered the hippies as we were walking up Broadway right at Wall St. I saw that Ron Paul sign and said "I KNEW it!" and raised my camera with glee. LOL

Then we went to Zuccotti Park and taunted the unwashed for a bit.

This is getting too complicated. I’ll just stick selling overpriced widgets for an unappreciative boss who pays a very, very generous commission.

It doesn’t make sense, just like they don’t make sense.

It’s beyond human comprehension, really.
