Hot dog vendors Letty and Pete Soto went before city officials last week to discuss how they were terrorized by Occupy Sand Diego protesters. The couple’s hot dog business was ruined after Obama-endorsed activists threw blood and p*ss at their cart.
The Sotos needed police protection to attend a fundraiser on their behalf after receiving death threats from the Obama-endorsed activists.
CBS Local reported, via Free Republic:
KNX 1070′s Tom Reopelle reports a fundraiser in the Gas Lamp district in San Diego on Monday night is aimed at helping two vendors get back on their feet.
The coffee and hot dog carts were located in Civic Center Plaza, the same location as the Occupy San Diego protesters.
That group first settled in to the plaza Oct. 7 and set up a tent city which has since twice been taken down by police.
Coffee cart owner Linda Jenson and hot dog cart operators Letty and Pete Soto said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.
And according to one city councilman, bodily fluids were used in the attacks.
“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio.
The damages will likely require at least a complete cleaning if not a replacement of the cart covers, DeMaio said.
In addition to the attacks, the vendors also said they recently received death threats.
The Sotos received a police escort to their own fundraiser on Monday out of concerns for their safety.

There is a lesson to be learned here about trying to feed a tiger . . .

*sigh* And, this morning the San Diego Union-Tribune published an editorial thanking the Occupy San Diego protesters for being better-behaived than the ones in Oakland and LA, although it did say it’s time to end the nuisance.

The two stores learned a valuable lesson when dealing with Obama-voters.

This makes me so mad I think I’ll smash Occupy San Diego flat.
(Along with everything else, but I’ll smash them first…)

Never mind.

Didn’t something like that happen at one of the Tea Party rallies? Oh wait …NOT!

The Tea Party protesters are monsters compared to these Occupierx angels.

And Obama has endorsed these occupier scum. He stands with them…and their urine.

That is assault and battery. This will get you shot in the more civilized parts of America.

…raises a good point.
Jim, you should keep “Obama-Endorsed” in these headlines.
“Obama-and-Van-Jones-created” would be even more accurate.

dunce commented:
I remember pictures of platoons of police in military formations at a tea party that had a minus zero level of violence. I say below zero because they were an example to the country of peaceful political protest that had the occupiers learned from them all these current assaults would not be in the news. If it was not for alternative media no reports of violence would be in print. Mayors of these cities made a political choice to encourage these protests by not deploying police or demanding permits though they did for all the tea parties. Withholding police protection is an abuse of power and stupid politics.

Down with those evil Capitalist hotdog cart venders, they must earn at least $50 bucks a day after expenses.

They are 1%ers, lol.

The guy said that those in San Diego “don’t represent the nationwide movement.” Actually, they represent it perfectly well. Apparently the dominant media have left him with the impression that none of that bad stuff is going on anywhere else.

This is getting down right disgusting? Who will take corrective actions? Who will stand up and lead? This really is a turning point in this country regarding true leadership.

#20, #21 are absolutely correct. And yeah, yeah, there’s not supposed to be any link between bodily fluids and HIV or AIDS, and like spit or I guess, bugger’s to, huh?
The vendor’s need to be able to bring the law down on the Occupier’s so that they will understand that America is a nation of laws, and not free food, free drugs, free sex, free homelessness, and free concerts. The reason why the Soto’s are in business is because life is not free, it costs money, student loans, mortage’s, hot dog stand supplies.
Not only that these hot dog stands have to pay out the butt for food safety inspections, licenses, regular inspections by the San Diego Health Dept., and these people are licensed to the max that costs alot of money. But do you think the Occupier’s even think about that?
Back in my day we understood those kinds of things because we saw it everyday with our parents working their butts off to make ends meet. These kids are so spoiled they have no idea that anything costs anything because everything has been paid for, for them all their lives. Some know, but not enough to make any difference. And apparently the bunch that attacked the Soto’s didn’t know anything about how much money it was going to cost to get back in business.
I hate the Occupier’s, nationwide. I’m not afraid to say it with pride. I hate anything like that. Especially if it’s like union’s, protesters (who are protesting something they just need to grow up and take like a man), and Communist, and all it’s derivitives including the Nazi’s. And the reason why I hate all these people is because they are all against the original idea of what America stands for according to the Constitution, and our Bill of Rights. Those documents ARE what makes America what it is, and who the American people are. Well, who they are supposed to be, anyway. The protesters/demonstrator’s are not who American’s are supposed to be. Now, if these protesters representatives got visit’s from this many of their constituents, knocking on their door and making demands like that one’s these protesters are making, they might be able to actually change something.
But doing what they are doing, they are nothing but criminals, and are drawing out the radical criminals on the left, like the Communists, Nazi’s, and others. We will get rid of you people!!

Can you imagine the riots if we ever got real humans in charge again and took away all of

Why I won’t be donating:
“… they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.”
This is why you don’t feed wild animals. Morons.
WillofLa commented:
Many people like me are thinking the same thing, “I wish I could go down there and just beat the living hell out of these people, but I know as soon as I did, I would be the one arrested.” Yep, you’re right. But the reason why we are thinking such things is we are not hearing about the thousands that ARE being arrested every day. Yes, people, the Occupier’s are being run off, tents torn down, arrested for doing drugs, selling dope, having sex, crapping where they aren’t supposed to be, and tearing stuff up, and painting stuff. All those things are going on every day, but guess what? The leftist media is NOT reporting on it. Only if they can show police brutalities against the peaceful protesters. That is the only time cops, and protesters will be shown together, not protesters doing things that are against the law, and being arrested.
So the American people are gettting madder, and madder. But, people, don’t get mad! And the reason why is, all this is planned by Obama in order to actually get you so mad that you WILL go down there and start pounding on some protesters head, that way Obama can show how violent YOU are, not the protesters. That act of violence on your part is his signal to shut down the elections so he gets to be President as long as he wants.
Obama is orchestrating this, people!! He and his partners in the Communist Party are the one’s who put all these protests together. Obama is running all this from the White House, his staff who have been given authority to act in his name are doing the behind the scenes stuff so Obama can keep his hands clean. But his hands are as filthy as they can be. His hands are covered in the blood of our soldiers as well.

OWS San Diego is racist towards Latinos. They are preventing Latinos from having a small business of their own.

@#10 Militant Conservative….agreed here in my little rural area of the Midwest these hippies would have about 5 minutes to G.O.O.D. before a can of WOOP A$$ is opened up on them.
Oh and yeah, powder is dry
Finncrisp commented:
Each day a new revelation. Media still committed to making heros out of these anarchists who worship Marxist principles at least part time. Even when people are nice to them, it is not enough. Hot dog vendors can’t, after all, “print more hot dogs” when they run out…

An idea for Chicago Board of Trade members, next time, instead of those McDonald’s Job applications……..

Since this seems to be human bodily fluids, which could be infected with all sorts of viruses, I assert this is attack with a deadly weapon. If any of you would like to personally thank the people of Occupy San Diego, I would like to give you the website of their most prominent supporters: The OBRag. Here is their latest post on the subject; please give them my regards –
