City Council President Larry Reid said outside City Hall that the shooting was further proof the tents must come down. He was confronted by a protester who said he wouldn't be in office much longer.
"You didn't elect me," Reid snapped back. "You probably ain't even registered to vote!"
Reid said the encampment has been a major setback for the area while attracting sex offenders, mentally ill and homeless people, and anarchists.
"This is no longer about Occupy Wall Street," he said. "This is about occupying Oakland and extracting whatever you can get out of Oakland by holding our city hostage.
Reid, by the way, is Afro-American.
why shut it down? I am finally beginning to see results.
They need to be quarantined.
Self correcting problem bump.
Shut it down? Hell no.
Let them consume themselves.
Given their behavior so far, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them start sneaking bodies out to dump them elsewhere. Hell they don’t want to report rape.

Since the MSM likes to compare the Occupy Wall Street crowd to the Tea Party...........
Can we compare how many shootings have happened at Tea Party events vs. Occupy Wall Street?
How many sexual assaults?
How many drug deals gone bad?
How much violence in general?
How many Tea Party protests involved vandalism against enemies, real and imagined, destroying business property of people such as small business owners?
Yet the Tea Party is allegedly violent and racist................
Time for the cattle prods and Tazers.
(”There will be a variety of tactics used,” said organizer Adriane DeJerk, 26. “No social movement has ever been successful while being completely peaceful.”)
I suppose it depends on what you call a “social movement.” The Industrial Revolution? The many American mass migrations to settle new territory? If by social movement “De-jerk” means socialism, then, she’s correct. Nobody worth their salt would give into another French Revolution with a guillotine for all us “rich” folks. The kind of chaos these people want should be resisted with whatever violence they insist on using. If they throw firebombs, the police are justified in shooting back. There should be no ridiculous “courageous restraint” exercised so police are permanently scared or killed while the protesters go on to be honored, tenured professors of English at some major university.
I heard they’re not recycling, either.
Hand out free body bags and food for two. Come back a week later and hand out free body bags and food for two.
Within a relatively short period time, the problems will take care of themselves.
Heck, with a couple of cattle trucks and a few strong backs, cleanup would be quick, low cost and easy.
I find it hilarious that the acronym ‘OWS’ has the letters as OWeniteS - the followers of British industrialist Robert Owen who introduced collectivism to America for the first time. He created the first commune in New Harmony, Indiana in 1826 because he thought collectivism would create better working conditions for those who worked in factories.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Owen
What kind of people did this commune attract?
From the Wiki:
In 1825, such an experiment was attempted under the direction of his disciple, Abram Combe, at Orbiston near Glasgow; and in the next year Owen himself began another at New Harmony, Indiana, U.S., sold to him by George Rapp. After a trial of about two years both failed completely, due to Owen’s lack of presence to govern either of the communities.[citation needed] Neither of them was a pauper experiment; but it must be said that the members were of the most motley description, many worthy people of the highest aims being mixed with vagrants, adventurers, and crotchety, wrongheaded enthusiasts, or in the words of Owen’s son “a heterogeneous collection of radicals... honest latitudinarians, and lazy theorists, with a sprinkling of unprincipled sharpers thrown in.”
Sound familiar?
It seems collectivism attracts the extremes of society - the super rich and the super poor - the 1% on each end of the Bell Curve with both being lazy bums that are the parasites of society. Today the bums of society get individual welfare and benefits from the public dole and the super rich can use their corporations to get corporate welfare and bailouts from the public dole. Time to end it for both parties.
The real threat of contracting drug resistant Tuberculosis should scare any rational person out of these death traps. Where are the public health officials?
Not your average Tea Party gatherings I'd guess.
Leave the Obamavilles alone. Let them implode.
..they are just youts having a little fun....
...they will disband themselves when the weather gets really cold for weeks, or when a fast epidemic sweeps thru the camps and kills a bunch of these people.....
...it will be interesting to watch how the fleabaggers handle this...
