    NYPD Says OWS Dumped Feces & Urine In ATM Vestibule And Down Stairs – CBSNews New York

    “Police said that on evening of March 14, a number of Occupy demonstrators dragged large quantities of human urine and feces in containers to an open-air plaza before pouring the waste down a flight of stairs.”

    Are we supposed to take these people seriously? Aren’t you local Occupiers embarrassed by this type of behavior that is reported every day?

    I don’t imagine anyone is proud of such behaviour or would want to be associated with it. Of course this hardly represents all involved or in support of this movement and its many goals.

    Just like any other group, always some bad apples. Lots of dirty deeds going on out there involving suits and ties instead of buckets of shi*.

    I agree kootchman. But that sounds a lot like “working” so we know they’re not going to do that.

    I wonder if the janitors who have to clean up the buckets of human feces are in the top 1%.

    Dbsea, I’m sure it doesn’t represent all involved, but the disturbing part is that this is not a “rare” occurrence. There are hundreds of stories like this one.

    Part of my frustration is when the 99 percent-ers claim to speak for the rest of us. It’s insulting.

    It’s also shameful to pretend that a few old ladies in front of Chase bank in West Seattle is harmless fun, and not recognize that they are all part of the same poo-slinging group.

    By that logic, you are responsible for ripping the tops off the Appalachia mountains, causing large toxic mudslides. Please turn yourself in at once and promise to never do it again.

    I’m stumped dhg.

    What group is responsible for that, and when did I claim to be a part of said group?

    Kootch…”movement” an untinentional pun!

    Definitely lots of undesirables involved with various occupy “chapters.” And yes, they should have to clean up after themselves, hopefully like everybody else. But I still won’t disregard the entire movement because of them. Too bad there are so many people who get involved in things for the wrong reasons and hurt the cause for those who are or think they’re doing the right thing.

    Just don’t flush everyone involved because of the turds. And how is it shameful for old ladies to protest Chase? Unless of course they’re slinging poo at the windows. Nasty old ladies.

    Protesting isn’t shameful. Being part of a group that commits disgusting crimes and destroys property is shameful.

    Maybe little old ladies should stop identifying with poo-flingers, because their silence on the topic means they don’t have a problem with it.

    Even if they aren’t throwing anything, they are quietly saying, “those S.O.B.’s get what they deserve” as the other Occupier franchises are spilling feces in a Chase Bank lobby.

    I suppose you can look at it that way. I’ll just give the old dears the benefit of the doubt. Til one of them nails me with a turd that is.

    We agree dbsea, I give them the benefit of the doubt too.

    That’s why it’s sad to see good people caught up with the scumbags.

    Did you read all of the posts above from local occupiers who have spoken out against the Occupiers’ actions?

    Not one. And if they do, it will be followed with a justification.

    It’s sad.

    JV: After reading back through some of your posts, I’m pretty clear on what you’re against. Question is: What are you for?

    Are you doing something constructive in your own neighborhood? If so, I’d love to hear all about it. But why spend your time complaining about people throwing poo in . . . New York?

    I believe I am one of those “old ladies” in front of Chase Bank last week. Did you not see the little girls there as well? Read their signs? See all the smiles on everyone’s faces, occupiers and police alike?

    As DBP said “Are you doing something constructive in your own neighborhood?” With the small and start up Occupy West Seattle group, part of what seems to be happening is that wonderful awareness and with it the many conversations going in every which direction.

    Well said, ensignmarvin

    JV: which group are u a part of? Why the ones who burn oil, of course. We all of us are responsible, just as ensignmarvin is responsible for poo slings.

    No one speaking out against such trash behavior? Ok. Here’s one: their behavior is wholly reprehensible and disgusting. Will faux news now move onto the topics of the age like the big bank ripoffs? Nah

    Nah. Let’s talk about etch-a-sketch like ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, msnbc, CNN, the WaPo, NYT, etc, etc, etc, did over, and over, and over again……..but go ahead and blame Fox for focusing on stupid topics.

    did the people whose steps got tainted deserve such treatment?

    seriously.

    for example, if it was alan greenspan’s open-air park, i’d crap there myself.

    ensign, I’m sure you mean well, but there is a bigger picture to be seen.

    Let’s imagine there is an upstart group of young men who protect people in their neighborhoods from drug dealers. They call themselves the Crips. People all around the country think that protecting their neighborhood is a good thing so they start their own groups of Crips. Our local affiliation is a pretty good group of well-meaning people.

    Then we start seeing reports of Crips all over going too far, creating violence and committing crimes. But we ignore it, blame the media, or even worse justify it, because after all they are part of or gang.

    This is where we are right now. Before we start justifying bad behavior, or getting more involved and committing crimes ourselves, maybe it would be wise to disassociate ourselves from the Crips. We are a year into it now and we have seen what they are really all about…and it’s not good. It was kinda exciting last year, but now this group has evolved into a group of criminals who don’t care about the damage they cause, the people they hurt, or the janitors who have to clean up after them.

    But at the very least, you should change your name to distinguish yourselves from the criminal elements who share your name, but not necessarily your cause.

    Or if you still think those people are swell, and you still want to be one of them that’s fine, just don’t bring that type of trash to West Seattle.
