The Occupy movement lost one of its most ardent supporters in the media Friday night.
On HBO's Real Time, host Bill Maher surprisingly said of the protesters, "As I watch them on the news now I find myself almost agreeing with Newt Gingrich. Like, you know what - get a job...Now it's just a bunch of [d-bags] who think throwing a chair through the Starbucks window is going to bring on the revolution" (video follows with transcript and commentary, vulgarity warning):
Police: Occupy protesters may have been using drain as toilet
Quote:
CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- A haz-mat crew with the Charlotte Fire Department was called to 600 East Trade Street, the site of the Occupy Charlotte movement, on Tuesday morning.
City workers who had been cleaning the area noticed toilet paper on top of a storm water grate that drains into a nearby creek. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police and city officials believe some protesters have been using the drain as a toilet.
"We're looking at the environmental impact on the stream down there with the wildlife, and things like that," said Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Dulin.
"Plus the water goes downstream for other people to drink further down".
Now he's finally talking some sense!! Eventually, people realize the laziness of the group!! Get a job and do yourself, how mean can Newt and Maher be!! It would be interesting, if Maher did vote Republican, this time around. We sure know, Obama supports the OWS behavior.
There are a few here that will dispute this, but as OWS continues, they are becoming more and more irrelevent. Their lack of a clear message and goals, along with their disorganization and lack of direction and leadership are taking them to a new low in the public eye. Even democrats that supported them in the begining are running away from them as fast as they can..

Agreed. They broke into a vacant condo here in Brooklyn and vandalized the place, Got drunk and attacked cops. of course they scream and cry when the officers defend themselves. As soon as the trust funds dry up they will be back in mommy and daddy's house on their state of the art computers ranting on social media. they bring nothing to the table. I encountered them in Times square paasing through from work and almost had 3 fights just trying to get to the subway. I am not a Wall street employee, Just a working man from Brooklyn. They insisted otherwise. I hope the Cops beat their heads in!!
If one were to collect every single available job in America and move them to one place you might be able to employ all the unemployed people in that state. As it is, there aren't any jobs. It is beyond cruel to continue the tired "get a job" put down of OWS supporters in light of the reality of scarce job supply.

Thanks for this story!!Tthere are some on here that support what they're doing in Time Square and say they're not the ones causing the fights.
Good luck and stay safe, in the chaos zone...............................
There aren't any jobs?? Funny, what are all those "HELP WANTED" signs I see about then? Perhaps you should consider rephrasing that to their are not enough jobs in fields such as "political science" or "basket weeving", requiring a degree. There are plenty of jobs. In fact employers are having a hard time finding "qualified" people to fill them. So you got your BA in some useless degree field. Who is responsible for that? You can't find work in a technical field but the guy with a certificate from a trade school can? Whos fault is that?
