US TAXPAYERS Stuck With Port-a-Potty Bill From Yesterday’s #Occupy DC Protest
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, January 18, 2012, 5:09 AM
The #Occupy DC goons held a protest yesterday in Washington DC. Several of the young hoodlums were arrested during their day of unrest.
Hey look… They caught the Cowardly Lion!
To top it off… US taxpayers were stuck with the bill for the port-a-potties. The protesters are broke and couldn’t afford to rent them.
USNews.com reported:
America’s taxpayers, already on the hook for watching over the Occupy movement’s three-month seizure of Washington’s downtown McPherson Square, are getting stuck with another bill to cover the police protection and port-a-potty rentals at today’s Capitol protest.
For today’s protest, where several hundred Occupiers toting signs lingered in the muddy grass of the Capitol Grounds, over two dozen U.S. Capitol Police were assigned to ring the lawn, most on foot, some on bikes, and others in 18 cars, buses, and trucks counted by Whispers.
Plus, the government rented 17 bright blue potties from Don’s Johns, which were parked across from the Capitol Grounds and in the shadow of the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial.
The Architect of the Capitol’s office wouldn’t comment on the costs or protection.
But Don’s Johns told Whispers that renting 17 potties costs about $2,100.
A miffed Capitol Police officer told us, “I can’t believe we’re paying for this. But they have no money. They were complaining about parking prices.”

That figures…….
RedBeard commented:
Pelosi, Queen of the Land of Stupidia, says she supports these scumbag “Occupy” people, so why doesn’t she get out her very, very fat 1%-er checkbook and pay to have their crap toted away?
Carbon Pootprint commented:
So this was Van Jones’ big event huh? GeeeeHa
daryl commented:
$2100 to keep them from crapping on the cop’s cars?
Maybe that cost should be deducted from the overtime pay the cops are getting to keep them from crapping on their cars in the first place.

I love that twit trying to get the crowd chanting “the whole world is watching” and failing. No, you silly progressive cow, the whole world is NOT watching. Whatever others have told you, chanting something does not make it true.
Anyway, this is the best crowd these pathetic dorm-room Marxists could gather? I’ve seen bigger crowds at little-league football games.
Bad Actor commented:
Who the heck approved the spending of our funds for this garbage? That person should be exposed and then go further up the chain of command and find out who in the Obama administration passed the word down that it would be ok – heads should roll.
RickZ commented:
I’d be okay with taxpayer funds being spent on the #OccupySesameStreet crowd as long as it was taxpayer money spent to incarcerate them.
Atlanta Media Guy commented:
It’s an Obama world! Only in DC, where groups have to have permits, traffic plans and garbage pick-up plans before the Capitol Police will allow you to have a gathering. Rules for all except the Occutards. Maybe they should send the bill directly to Van Jones or better yet the White House. These occutards are being directed by someone in the Executive Branch or maybe someone formerly a part of the Executive Branch, Van Jones. The DNC should pay for this. Just think if the Tea Party did this, their leader would be behind bars for not being properly permitted and following the rules that EVERYONE must follow. This is the height of hypocrisy. The only difference I see between both groups, Occupiers = Criminals and Tea Partiers = Patriots. Hey Occutards if you guys and gals could start abiding by the laws, that are on the books, maybe your message would be better received. Naaaaaaaah, they want to create chaos, pillage and burn our country so the DNC can blame it on the Tea Party. Powder is dry folks……..

take the money from the democratic national fund…wasser-beeotch will be happy to pay it
Catblaster commented:
Since the precedent has been set, the Tea Party can rightfully demand all sorts of concessions the next time they want to hold a rally and the Stupids who’ve supported the Occupoopers with our tax money can’t turn them down. Good.
Sasja commented:
No money. They must own cars since they were complaining about parking prices. They must have the money to put fuel in those cars to get them to the parking lots. They have money. They just want others to pay the costs for their idiocy.
Sasja commented:
#13. The Tea Party would never ask, nor expect, others to pay their costs.
guy haman commented:
Just wait for the resodding bill to come in. I’m sure the ows goons will pay for it. ha-ha

It’s extortion. We had to do it or else shovel the 200 lbs. of ppop they’d leave behind like last time.
bigL commented:
None of this makes the main news tho. In flyover country peoplethin the OWies are cute and like
a “sit-in” from the sixties. NO, zero, photos of defecation or the fighting or thedirt bags ever are revealed.

what about all that money the OWS has in the bank?

Send all the bills for all the occupy’s to piglosi and debby downer.
Finncrisp commented:
OWS maggots are working the system. Tea Party pays their own way, Glenn Beck paid all kinds of money to put on his rallys. Right to Life pays for the Washington March for Life that occurs in January.
OWS – nada! Apparently the “Unknown Marxist” in the White House is pleased to spend our money to support his Comrades.

Ooohh, my flippin’ left elbow… If Occupy Wall Street was any indicator, Loony Lefties flock to these “Occupy” freakshows and shovel money at the occupiers. The individual skanks involved here may not have been flaunting lots of cash, but somebody-in-the-background certainly has sufficient amounts to comply with the posted rules for a large public assembly.
I’m calling Bee-Esss on this statement. It’s just more “special allowances for the politically favored”. In other words, this country’s laws ARE NO LONGER the same for me as they are for thee. (Especially not if “thee” is a professional Progressive whose main occupation is tearing apart the social fabric of our country.)
