Well, they’ve accomplished one thing anyway…
They’re spreading disease and death—
Dead man in Salt Lake City…
Tuberculosis
in Atlanta…
‘Zuccotti Lung’ on Wall Street…
Suicide in Vermont…
Murder in Oakland…
NBC New York reported:
With wintry weather poised to swoop into the cramped outdoor quarters of Occupy Wall Street protesters, it may not be long before more campers catch what’s being called “Zuccotti lung.”
That’s what demonstrators have dubbed the sickness that seems to be spreading among them at an unpleasantly high rate these days: “It’s a real thing,” Willie Carey, 28, told the New York Times.
With little sleep in cold conditions, cigarettes and drinks being passed from mouth to mouth, and few opportunities to wash hands, Zuccotti Park may now just be the best place to catch respiratory viruses, norovirus (also known as the winter vomiting virus) and tuberculosis, according to one doctor.
The damp clothing and cardboard signs wet with rain are also breeding grounds for mold. Some protesters are urinating in bottles and leaving food trash discarded throughout the campground, providing further opportunities for nastiness.

What? Did they get rid of the hair lice and body lice that quickly?
American Patriot commented:
Just think, this is the very utopia they want us all to live in. Unfortunately though, their little garden of eden lifestyle is just like Europe in the Dark Ages, “Bring out your dead!”
Count me NOT INTERESTED!
Question: why haven’t the various city fathers thrown these vermi out of the “parks” yet?
Answer: Democrats, all Democrats.

Natural selection.
Ace commented:
These people are living and eating surrounded by their own filth.
How long before their diseases begin to spread to the people who actually live in the communities these people are trespassing in?
shibumi commented:
Ya know, I bet that NONE of these people have been on active military duty in a war. Because if they had, they would realize that living that way is to be avoided.
Justice Beavers commented:
Just part of their evil plan.They’ll sacrifice a few to prove that its the big mean 1% making them live outside like animals and demand (again) that we pay for housing for them.
The Underground Conservative commented:
Good. They deserve it. Stupidity should be painful. Nature’s way of thinning the herd.

OWS in NYC is also crawling with bed bugs and lice. They’ve managed to keep it out of the press so far.
ahem commented:
I’m surprised the health department doesn’t shut them down; it’s a matter of public safety.
Texas_Treeroach commented:
Congratulations OWS!!!
You’ve got your own disease now!
What next? The Zuccotti Virus?
(Sounds like a bad B movie, just like your lame misguided movement)
Libs Suck commented:
The only true solution to this situation, for the long term, is to surround Zuccotti Park with a chain link fence topped with razor wire. Stale McDonalds fries and burgers can be passed through the wire to feed them as they poop and vomit in buckets. By March 2020 they should have been thinned out enough to allow them to mingle again with society.
This would be a humane solution for the rest of the country and those who have complained about government not taking care of the 99%. This would certainly take care of them!

Sitting on a park bench
Reading Karl Marx and sleeping in a tent
Pot smoke is coming out his nose
Lice infested hair and wearing shabby clothes

Dying in a cold park
Chanting as their leader Shelby barks

Stealing other people stuff
Sniffing feet and protesting in the buff
Whoaaa, OccuLung
