NY Business Owners Protest #OWS Zuccotti Park Squatters (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, November 16, 2011, 4:51 AM
Several local business owners held a protest Monday on the steps of City Hall urging Mayor Bloomberg to take action against the lawless Occupy Wall Street squatters at Zuccotti Park. Over the last two months the crime, the drumming, the garbage, the smell and lawbreaking have cost local businesses nearly $500,000.00 and several businesses were forced to layoff workers. The locals have had enough.
Urban Infidel attended the rally and has several photos and video.
This woman who helped organize the rally decided to hide her face out of concerns for her safety.
Some of the OWS cult members actually had the nerve to give her a hard time because she was wearing a mask.
This man complained to reporters that his family has lost business since the squatters have set up camp in Zuccotti Park. The man said his family has owned a Chinese restaurant in the area for 30 years.
“Help us out mayor!”

There is a law in NYC against wearing a mask in public.
Originated in mid 1800s and updated in 1960s. Not enforced all the time, but handy to have on the books for just in case.
MAJ Mike commented:
Anyone care to bet how many of those business owners voted for Bloomberg?
Zabrina commented:
People should sue either OWS or the City to recover the money they’ve lost because of this unholy mess. The city should charge OWS for all the money they’ve had to expend on security and cleanup. There is no free lunch, and the people responsible for this mess should pay.
Gini commented:
There is no way to get money from OWS as it is not organised – just a bunch of layabouts who want the world to recognise their brilliance. My tax dollars are paying to police and clean up after these brats and I am not pleased. Supposedly OWS will snarl the subways on Thursday – that should really impress those trying to get to work.

There is money being used to set up, encourage, and support this mess. I agree that suing OWS as an entity won’t work — there are other names connected with it. The organization formerly known as ACORN has been identified under a new name, in connection with fraudulent collection of charity monies that have been diverted to OWS, for example.
Hiding behind a failure to incorporate is not that good a strategy — it leads to unlimited liability.
Of course, if the mayor supports the mess, it’s kinda hard to get any official investigation, or suit, started.
Secret Squirrel commented:
Some of those lay abouts opened bank accounts at banks they vandalized. Whoever opened the bank account for them has opened pandoras box of liability for damages done on whomever opened the bank account since any good tort lawyer could pin that on them.
Loni commented:
God bless this courageous man and the others like him.
We can make an extra effort to support the businesses near these camps to help offset the damage and help them hold on..

Accusing OWS miscreants as violent is profiling prejudice and right wing intolerance or you might say informed logic.

Let them reap what they’ve sown. They vote for the people who let this go on and support it until obastard pulls their strings and tells them to shut it down because it’s not working for him politically.
The OWS’ers are no longer the apple of their daddy commie’s eye because the cat is out of the bag that they’re really NOT just like the Tea Party and because they are savages.
They served at the pleasure of their master, and now he’s throwing them under the bus to join his mother, grandmother, and so many others.
F’ ‘em.

In late October, Occupy Wall Street “registered for 501(c)(3) status, with the Alliance for Global Justice, a D.C.-based grassroots organization, serving as the movement’s fiscal sponsor.”
Bill them!!
