Just out of curiousity, I was wondering which group, law envorcement and city government would prefer to handle, the 99% Mob or the Tea Party ?
Which one has proven the less expensive to the overburdened taxpayers as far as keeping the peace, arrests, vandelism, and sanitation is concerned?

It's a wash. The "Mob" as you call them would require more porta johns and workers for sanitation. Ever seen a young adult's bedroom?
On the other hand tea party rallies have a bunch of guys carrying guns to the events so security would be have to be beefed up but this would be offset by the fact that tea party rallies need less portable johns as many tea partiers wear "Depends" adult diapers.

occupy wall street is supposed to put a strain on. they are occupying, not sitting and leaving after a couple hours.

the tea party people are more problematic though in terms of costs.

Who is easier to handle, a group of 22 year old protesters or a group of 70 year old protesters?

The 99% mob is worse. Like 700 people were arrested just the other day. The problems the TP may have caused are miniscule compared to just that single incident.

The OWS s*** on cars, but the Tea Partiers s*** their pants, so it's hard to say. I suppose those Tea Partiers are less problematic because they wear Medicare-subsidized Depends.

So I guess the answer is really that "depends"

Bascially runig a city and polcig it takes money;the 1% have the money which translates into goods in a barter system.In fact the 99% want what the top 1% has just the same as the other two. this isn;t about the 99% wanting to even share ot eqaully either;they all want speial attention for thier interest funded by the top 1%. Actually perhaps 80% of the 99% indentify with the top 1%.
