Hours-long standoff ends in multiple arrests at Occupy DC

WTOP ^

[newnhdad]

these people purchased wood, fabricated a frame and started to build a shantytown in a public park in DC. Imagine what would happen if the Tea Party left something on the ground.

[newnhdad]

I'm sick of this garbage.

[FlingWingFlyer]

What! No building permit? The 99¢ers break more laws than their illegal alien cousins.

[DMG2FUN]

It would not be the first time this happened.

[Izzy Dunne]

Several occupiers said the group spent $1,400 on the wood.

Well, at least they didn't steal it....

The structure was designed by an architect ...

... and built with help of donated time from someone from Annapolis.

Wow, way to go, crack reporter !

"Someone from Annapolis" !!! LOL

[Izzy Dunne]

Camping and cooking are prohibited in the park, though protesters have been doing both openly in front of police since they started occupying the park.

Somebody 'splain to me what "prohibited" means, because I don't think I understand it anymore.

[Right Wing Assault]

It’s not level.

[Vision]

They know their real job is propaganda, not reporting.

[Vision]

They drink a lot in Annapolis.

[Nailbiter]

Somebody ‘splain to me what “prohibited” means, because I don’t think I understand it anymore.
If you pay taxes you get arrested and fined, if you live off the taxpayers you get repeated warnings to stop that activity

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s not level.

It's leaning to the left so I think that is considered normal to the fleabaggers.

[cripplecreek]

At one point, Park police officers pulled out a Taser as they arrested 21-year-old homeless veteran, Micheal Patterson from Alaska.

If you can afford a trip across the continent, you're homeless by choice.

[airborne]

We really need to stop using these idiots the "99%'ers", and call them what they really are.

The "Bottom Feeders".

[mongo141]

“Somebody ‘splain to me what “prohibited” means, because I don’t think I understand it anymore.”

It’s simple if your a Rat it’s OK, If your are a Republican its unlawful! Double standards! Now do you understand?

[ProudFossil]

It would not matter what the Tea Party left, the media and libs would still scream they had polluted the ground, water and air beyond repair by walking on it, washing with it, and breathing it.

These people are running your country.

Let’s elect Newt or Romney so we can find a compromise with them. :)

[lacrew]

Excellent list.

[Venturer]

I can by damn guarantee you one thing.

If they stopped playing with these kids and gave them 60 days in the DC Jail with Leroy and Tyrone,they would be glad to go home and they wouldn’t come back.

[little jeremiah]

Placemark.

[Charles Martel]

I think the “Illness / Death” category needs an update; someone croaked at the Occupy: Denton site in north Texas. Hey, it took that to put ‘em on the map!
