How Freaking Gross—
The Occupy Santa Cruz squatters are not only suffering from a ringworm and scabies problem… Hazmat officials were called in to remove 200 pounds of feces from a lot near the #Occupy Santa Cruz squatter camp.

On November 15 the Occupy Santa Cruz website announced that the members had provided its own portable toilet and handwashing station and soon would be placing more toilets in the park itself (photo by Alex Darocy)
There’s a whole lot of squatting going on at Camp Poopstock Santa Cruz.
Verum Serum posted on this disturbing report from the Mercury Times:
This week, two portable restrooms were installed in the park to supplement the one on Water Street since October, Pleich said.
“I think a lot of those sanitation issues came before the portable restrooms,” Pleich said. He added that there are hand-washing stations.
“We’re doing everything we can to ameliorate this problem,” Pleich said.
Protesters had asked city leaders to keep bathrooms in San Lorenzo Park open overnight. A permit unilaterally issued by the city earlier this month required that protesters install two more portable toilets.
Shauna Gunderson, another Occupy member, said the new restrooms, “put to rest the city’s largely exaggerated claims around sanitation.”
At least one incident on the county list wasn’t noted by the Sheriff’s Office: the discovery of an estimated 200 pounds of human feces near the county Veterans Memorial Building, just across the Water Street bridge from the camp.
The county called in a hazardous materials team to clean up the mess, and installed a security fence around the building, which is closed for renovations. There is no evidence that linked the excrement to the camp
Back on November 8 KSBW reported that officials were concerned because piles of human feces have multiplied since there were no toilets.

i thought Obama was out of the country? Oh silly me, there is no way he weighs 200 lbs.. D’oh!!
Texas_Treeroach commented:
Overheard coming from a chorus of HAZMAT team members:
200 pounds of poop on the ground;
200 pound of poop;
Flush a pound, and watch it go ’round;
199 pounds of poop on the ground.
. . . .
Clutch commented:
“By the time we got to Poopstock,
The fecal stench was really strong
And through my watering eyes
I saw clouds of bloated flies
Feasting well upon those pies
And pools of urination!”

+++++++
And they know that HOW exactly ?
Opaobie commented:
Folks, it’s all described in Mark Levin’s new book Ameritopia
…glad this we’re getting to see it unfold first in LIBERAL-TOPIA states…well, mostly, but it’s spreading across the country like the cancer that it is. It needs to be shut down before the election next November, or it could create enough chaos to affect the outcome.
Blackbird commented:
It is like watching a live enactment of lord of the flies as these idiots have to relearn all the basic things that go into making society work. And they wonder why we laugh at them when they say they have all the answers. If they can’t plan ahead to cover basic sanitation I shudder to think what would happen if real life and death responsibility was dropped in their grasping hands. I guess when the evil corporations crush a single flower it is a tragedy, but if they totally destroy their own environment it is just unpreventable.

Give them all shovels and make them clean it up themselves.

Someone donate a couple tons of kitty litter for the Occupoopers!

I have to say, OWS is quite a “movement”.

To visualize ..200 pounds of sh#t would be a pile about this big…>>> http://thisainthell.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/VFP-on-strike.jpg
D Roamer commented:
It would seem to me that permits should be a agreement between the cities; it should have the what I would expect the normal expectations of clean up and whatever the city requires. To protect the citizens, a bond should be a requirement, in event requirements are not met.
Am I to believe that the cities are not insisting on this requirement? Shame on them!
Who pays the bond? The Democrat Party or Communist Party or whomever is paying these creatures to disturb the peace.
JewishOdysseus commented:
Yup, just like the Tea Parties. Yup.
Ella commented:
I would say dump it in Sam Farr’s front yard. He’s the idiot Democrap Congressman for this place. These democraps approve of this spectacle so it’s only logical he should deal with the consequences.
Blackbird commented:
By their harvest they shall be known. Come children, gather ’round and let all partake of the fruits of the #Occupy labors. … Wait, you mean if we plant idiots all we get is crap?
JPeden commented:
My how things have progressed since the “Movement” first Occupied School Administration Buildings during the Viet Nam War, and with real students only. Instead of movements now occupying wherever the Movement is, which…it’s hard to tell one movement from the other.
S. Wolf commented:
Pee yoo, occupigs.
Patty commented:
Animals aren’t extinct they live in Santa Cruz.
“There is no evidence that linked the excrement to the camp” REALLY?
Patty commented:
When the occupiers called it a movement they weren’t kidding.

Shauna Gunderson, another Occupy member, said the new restrooms, “put to rest the city’s largely exaggerated claims around sanitation.”
Right, “exaggerated” because Marx forgot to mention any need for human waste disposal facilities in the Communist Utopia, probably because no one could tell the difference anyway.
Captain Chaos commented:
If it were 400 pounds then all they had to do was order Michael Moore to leave.
JPeden commented:
Books and science having been already eliminated from the Progressive Utopia, especially because it’s been proven that 100% of the “99%” can barely mimic short noises, at least we also know now that “equal” redistribution will not require that they have any toilets or sewer systems.
DeadManMoshing commented:
Plop plop fizz fizz(the flies)oh what a relief it is
Reaganite Republican commented:
Guess their mom never taught them how to occupy a toilet
regularguy commented:
The sad reality, though, it that businesses and public properties nearby have suffered the ill-effects of these human waste piles as well. Starbucks may be doing well, but banks and other targets have had to endure many problems, about which they, of course, couldn’t care less.
JPeden commented:
And because of the lack of any need for science among the “99%ers”, there’s probably going to be no need to “redistribute” water to the OWS’s Progressive movements, either!
I’d forgotten that after 3 years of “study”, the EU’s Central Party Progressives have just declared that ~”water does not rehydrate.” Bottled water marketers cannot advertise the fact that water is the [only] thing that rehydrates dehydrated people on their bottles. Apparently in the Utopia, no one worthy of being a Communist really thirsts validly for water.
Uncle Monkey commented:
I can almost believe that. This is Santa Cruz. The only difference is these people are in the same place at the same time as opposed to being spread around the town.
A favorite pooping place might just now be more convenient.
UpChuck.Liberals commented:
#33 Uncle Monkey you took the words right out of my mouth. How can they tell the difference between the usual bums and the ‘organized’ bums. location, location, location.
Larry Sheldon commented:
“There is no evidence that linked the excrement to the camp” near the bottom of this item.
Why not near the top?
Opaobie commented:
The common thread that ties all the “Occupy” groups together, besides Marxism and Alinsky-style anarchy, is that they pollute and destroy every place they occupy. Like any other social parasite, they need to be eradicated (philosophically speaking, not literally) before they kill off the host, America. It could easily be done if they had to pay for the damage they are doing and post bonds and get real permits before they are allowed to “occupy” any public land. The source of their money could also be exposed, and action could be taken against their financiers. Unfortunately, Liberal mayors and a Liberal state and federal government will never do this. Those measures are reserved for use against pro-life groups and TEA partiers. November 2012 can’t come soon enough.
Militant Conservative commented:
I see, this the lefts argument AND solution.
This is what socialism looks like.
They are fighting a system that can absorb and
Clean up such a fecalfest. Yes they are the monkeys
In the zoo. 200 lbs of excrement sounds like the
Obama current jobs policy. Created one job.
The port o potty guy. Pathetic.

******************************
Because that’s where the sentence was placed in the story that was being quoted Larry. I’m curious though … where else would you expect 200 pounds of human excrement to come from? What sort of evidence would you really expect “linking” this poop to the protestors? Do you think they would each stick a little name card on their pile with a toothpick or something? Did you expect a sign identifying the area as an official OWS feces dump?
Why are you so anxious to look past this entire story and assume those feces didn’t come from the OWS crowd Larry? … Would it be because maybe you support what they’re doing? If so, you’re guilty by association …
Max Friedman commented:
To John03: Is this what Obama meant by “shovel-ready jobs”?
In that case Mr. O, “You’re gonna need more shovels”.
Militant Conservative commented:
Obama economic and foreign policy in a box.
Gift wrap it, it’s the NOTUS’ gift to the states.
Nothing but contempt for Obama.

xiphos commented:
Tell me it was Barney Frank ………… my mistake it was only 200 lbs.
JPeden commented:
Ya know, Marx also forgot to mention any need for reproduction in the Communist Utopia, too, which probably explains why the OWS Movements have abandoned a lot of their “offspring”.
JPeden commented:
#40 In that case Mr. O, “You’re gonna need more shovels”.
Right on, Max! Plus, “Get someone else to shovel the products of your own intrinsically valuable ‘labor’, and warm your own cuckles thrice!” [Karl Marx, on Communism's Primary Principle, "someone's got to manage my Utopia, i.e., Me."]
“my cuckles” from cuck, obsolete, latin and old english, “defecate”…
Gerry commented:
“officials were concerned because piles of human feces have multiplied”
and resulted in a population of #OWS participants.

A dog ,when there is no fence will drop his dew on a neighbors yard. Not that they are dogs, i like dogs.

Somebody call the police…….there still is about another 200 lbs of Michael Moore missing………

Jim commented:
Are they sure it wasn’t an occupier? Did they try to speak to it?
ga commented:
Santa Cruz County sheriffs dept. manipulate media with lies and exposes lazy media for not fact checking. Media is propaganda tool of the 1%’s protecters and enforcers.
NO infections, no feces at Occupy Santa Cruz.
The Sheriffs list claimed that a hazardous material team responded to the incident, but the city department responsible denies it. “It is typically something our department would respond to,” said Tim Fillmore, program manager at City of Santa Cruz Environmental Health. “We have not had any recent complaints about human feces behind the Vet’s Hall in Santa Cruz and we have not investigated such a complaint.”
linnilu commented:
patrick, now they’re pissing on one another as well as pooping in giant piles?
patrick commented:
correction
daniel ELLSBERG spoke @occupy sf
he said he was facing life in prison but he knew this event was it.
