Go ahead, make my day!

I notice the media has been pointing out that these idiots are 99% white. /tard

Not only can you squat on public property, but apparently you can build. I wonder what the reaction would be if someone just started building a new XXX movie store in front of city hall?

It also may test the patience of Albany city officials who have let protesters stay in the park provided their demonstration remains peaceful -- as it has. There is a city ordinance placing an 11 p.m. curfew on the park, but citing past instances of non-enforcement and an unwillingness of Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares to push trespassing charges against demonstrators, police have let the encampment be.

I wonder of they would do the same for the Tea Party.

Thank God the mayor of Atlanta shagged all OWS squatters out of Woodruff Park last week. I think we are Occupy free at the moment.

Bump! ;-)

David Soares is there because of George Soros’s help.

“Maybe they could build housing for the homeless?”

My husband was telling me that the Occupy people didn’t like the homeless eating their food, so they served beans, so the homeless would go back to the soup kitchens. (I think it was NYC.) Guess the Occupy protesters don’t care about the poor as much as they claim.

It’s the Me generation.
