Organizers of the Occupy Pittsburgh tent encampment said today they are "seizing" the BNY Mellon's privately owned park in Downtown...

The could call it Urine Green, or Poop Patch. Obamaville always sounds nice.

When I was a kid, this was called theft. You used go to prison for that.

The Occupy movement is sooooo ... October.

[Libloather]

Cops vow to seize and rename freeloaders?

[Timaeus]

I wonder how many graduate students from Carnegie Mellon University’s humanities programs—where I took my degrees—are camped out with the OWSers.

Goofballs.

There might be a few, but this one is being driven by the terrorist organization known as SEIU.

Occupiers equal filthy pig sty-ers. Freedom from filth. Who is working on the you tube montage of their hazmat class of filth. True rats.

The object lesson here is to the private property owners that made their property available for free to the public as a community service.

You should have been moving your investment out of the lefty cities for a long time now.

There is plenty of land to steal in Detroit,... but OWS won't occupy a square inch of it, I wonder why.

Union members joining? That means that some of the Union members homes are not “occupied”. Time to move in and seize them. I could use another property. It’s for the people ya know.

If only there were a drone base nearby.

“When I was a kid, this was called theft. You used go to prison for that.”

That was before the Communist takeover. Now everything is part of the collective.

They say they have no intention of complying with police orders to leave.
This is a slow motion revolution by naive children. But make no mistake about it, the people behind them are not naive or children.
The protesters are amusing right now but twenty or thirty years from now it will not be funny.
Just like the radicals of the sixties now control many of the levers of power in this country, today's radicals will will worm their way into the fabric of society and help destroy it from within.

I wonder if they would mind if a large throng claiming to be "Occupy Occupiers" showed up right before bed time and each helped themselves to a place in an occupier's tent, appropriated a sleeping bag, a few snacks, maybe even the least skanky occupier women for themselves.

Fair is fair, right? Nobody really owns anything due to the fact that they earned money and then purchased it. The Occupiers couldn't really claim "This is my property/body."

We are witnessing the surrender of civilized government to anarchists.

When is someone going to stand up to these crap encrusted malcontents?
