#OWS News: Angry NY Residents To Protest Against Occupiers

By Susan Duclos

Oakland California flip-flop Mayor orders the eviction of the Oakland Occupiers for the second time. After the first eviction the Mayor changed her mind and allowed them back and now they have evicted again. 32 people were arrested in this event.

California isn't the only place sick and tired of the violence and filth of the Occupy movement.

New York residents and business owners have had it and want the City to start enforcing their laws.

NBC New York:

Downtown residents and business owners angry that their neighborhood has been occupied for two months by the Wall Street demonstration are staging a protest of the protest Monday, declaring that City Hall has let it get out of control.

Angry over all-day drumming, people urinating and defecating on the streets and verbal attacks from protesters, organizers say they will rally at City Hall Monday to send officials a message.

"Laws are clearly being violated and we simply want them enforced," Lower Manhattan resident Linda Gertsman told NBC New York.


The NYPost has more from angry NY business owners:

The Occupy Wall Street movement has cost surrounding businesses $479,400 so far, store owners said.

A Post survey of a dozen restaurants, jewelry shops, beauty salons, a chain store and mom-and-pop establishments tallied almost a half-million dollars lost in the 53 days since the Zuccotti Park siege began on Sept. 17.

“We’re done with them!” barked one Broadway business owner. The restaurateur -- who requested anonymity for fear of reprisals -- said his profits drained as soon as campers moved in.

“My customers used to take food to eat in the park, but now they can’t,” he lamented.


Here is one that is really amusing.... It seems that Occupiers from Seattle disrupted a pro-Occupy forum and cost themselves supporters.

No sooner had the panel finished opening remarks last night than a woman scampered up onto stage and yelled, "Mic check!" It was an orchestrated effort by several dozen activists to use the People's Mic to interrupt a forum at Town Hall—a forum in favor of Occupy Wall Street, featuring three wonks and three activists from Occupy Seattle. Their stunt replaced what was supposed to be an informed discussion of the movement with an uninformative, shout-a-thon about process that consumed most of the evening. They booed opinions they disagreed with and drove supporters out of the building.

"I walked in supportive and left unsupportive," said 69-year-old Mary Ann, who declined to provide her last name. "I’m turned off by the negative shouts, repetition, and all I can think about is a cult. And I believe in every one of their damn principles."


Geniuses!!!

In Portland, according to Oregon Live, it took about 70 dump trucks to remove trash and debris from Occupier sites after they evicted them.

Downing said about 70 dump trucks hauled trash and debris from the camps over the weekend. He said about 30 city employees worked Sunday to clear the parks.

Once the trash is gone, the city will bring in a team comprised of specialists to look at the health and condition of the trees, plants, the restrooms and the art in the parks. The turf will need to be reseeded, he said. He expects the once grassy areas to be "pretty bare" until February.

Downing said he hopes that at least the walkways will be open soon so the public can have access to the parks again.

Nolte's rap sheet on Occupiers is now up to 232 incidents.

My reminder from my other pieces because we all need to remember, constantly, how this movement got started and who the official supporters and sympathizers are.

Never forget, Barack Obama created this class warfare movement on June 29, 2011 in a speech to distract voters from his dismal economic failures to cast blame on "corporate jet owners" and the rich, then Democrats embraced it and thought it would be a good idea to harness the anger.
