Reported Ringworm/Scabies Outbreak at Occupy Santa Cruz (Representatives, drugs, laws)

[sanrene]

Santa Cruz officials not expected to dismantle Occupy camp Wednesday - Santa Cruz Sentinel

Instead, they said the injunction they are seeking through a lawsuit filed last week would give them the authority to remove the campsite at a later date while they work with Occupy representatives to keep San Lorenzo Park free of drugs, alcohol and human feces.

Why...every park should have a little human feces, don't ya think?

In addition to problems with human waste, Lane said tents and other structures have taken a toll on the park's grass.

Oh yes, just more expense for the taxpayer.

Police said there have been reports of ringworm and scabies at the camp in recent days.

Just.....incredibly yucky.

Social justice in action.

When is the CDC going to step in and declare the public heath hazard of these squatter camps?

Big Sis remains curiously silent on OWS.

A seven-year itch as the price of protesting, how fantastic.
