Occupy Boston is being evicted!!!!

deafdyke · 12-08-2011, 08:56 PM

If you're in Boston, please go...they have over 500 people there already! YEAH!!!!!!! Even if you're not in Boston, please call Boston Mayor Menino to let him know you do not support any eviction and will not contribute tourist dollars to the city: 617.635.4500

Call Boston Police Commisioner Davis to tell him to join the protesters in standing up for first amendment rights or to report any police brutality: 617.343.4200

Occupy Toronto had been evicted, too. There are volunteers cleaning up the park or parks. I don't know about Occupy Ottawa. I have not heard anything yet. **sigh** I can not afford the trip to Toronto or Ottawa.

deafdyke · 12-09-2011, 07:25 PM

YAY!!!!! They stopped the eviction! There's a weekend long anti eviction party at Occupy Boston! YEAH!!!!

That is not good , this is a real health risk with winter coming ! You have homeless people living there too, who know what they have. Drugs dealers been hanging around the protesters too. I am sick of hearing about this on the news. I was watching Jay Leno last night and the news broke in to tell about the eviction! I could give a crap! And this is costing the cities money cleaning up after the protesters and overtime for the polices . Tax payers will have to pay for this!

Why do you hate American free speech? Consider expatriating.

We cannot afford not to stop corporate and Wall Street greed. The costs of the protests are a drop in the bucket when compared to the real cost of greed.

**sallylou** · 12-09-2011, 10:06 PM

It's kind of funny when Americans complain about the mess. It's too cold and messy to protest. I can't see any of these people dumping tea in the harbor.

Don't underestimate them. It will be their Valley Forge this winter.

Those costs are not being paid by the "greedy" though. Those costs are being paid by the citizens. Seems like they could come up with better methods than dressing up like clowns and zombies and trashing the place. *shrug*

They don't dress up as clowns and zombies. Eye of the beholder and all that.

**sallylou** · 12-09-2011, 10:13 PM

Beowulf, I wasn't referring to the protestors. They're passionate and hardy. I was talking about the people who complain about the protestors.

Imagine my relief. I was just waiting for someone to criticize the dressing styles of the Valley Forge soldiers.

Tax payers should not have to pay for the protesters mess! I would really pissed off if there where protesters in my city and I had to pay for their mess!
Do you really think this will stop corporate greed? My city is small there are less than 20,000 people living here , we have a CVS that just took over a White Hen Pantry store , so CVS almost double it size. Now CVS want to build a second store in our little city and CVS want have the road made over for them! And it looks city the city is going let CVS get their way , people are going to town meetings to fight this but it did not work . Money talk!

Yeah, I know it is frustrating. But I bet if all 20,000 people went to the meeting, it would stop them. I guess not enough people showed up.

I am not against free speech, but if you really think of it the protesters are costing cities money they do not have and when the cities and states need more money guess where it come from! From people that pay taxes and people are having a hard enough time with out having to pay to clean up after the protesters and have cops work over times. The protesters are putting more burden on working people. They can protest then go home . I heard it smelled like urine at the site and that is a health risk.

I heard that there are aliens, too.

I made a colonial outfit last week. Maybe I should put it on and head to Boston?

Then most people can stop worrying about "unsanitary conditions." The cold will take care of that.

Honestly, their point has been made(as obvious a point as it is). As I said before, the protests are not going to stop anything. Unless they have a clear way of dealing with politicians taking $6.5 million from people on wall street nothing is gong to change. They need to form a political solution instead of just causing a scene(which they have already done).

And, Mennino is right, they are denying other people from using the park instead of denying people from Wall Street from doing business. It solves nothing.

Have them all vote for Elizabeth Warren!

They have accomplished the first goal. They have people talking, and they have support. That has to be accomplished before anything else can be undertaken.

**sallylou** · 12-10-2011, 10:18 PM

Elizabeth Warren should be on the Cabinet. She's incorruptible so policiticans are afraid of her.

Do you think that the revolutionists sat around and thought about how inconvenient a revolution would be? The tea party will make a mess. We'll be depriving people of tea. The colonists will have to pay for the tea destroyed. If we get caught, we're dead. Maybe we'll just play some chess.

deafdyke · 12-10-2011, 10:19 PM

Oh give me a break.......the park isn't even the Common. It's not even being USED as a park....the bit where it is, basicly just juts out onto South Station. It's not like they Occupied Central Park or Prospect Park or whatever.

deafdyke · 12-10-2011, 10:20 PM

as for smelling like urine.....first of all, urine is sterile....second of all, a city doesn't smell very good anyway. Heck cities are dirty!
