City Won’t Give ‘Occupy Charlotte’ Protesters Porta-Potties
   
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (CBS Charlotte) – “Occupy Charlotte” protesters have nothing to occupy when they need to go to the bathroom.

A Charlotte city ordinance doesn’t allow anyone to erect semi-permanent structures, which include portable toilets.

For over two weeks, a group of approximately 25 people have camped out on the Old City Hall lawn. During the day, they can use public facilities or local businesses, but it’s more difficult to find a legal place late at night.

...

The movement’s website is calling on city manager Curt Walton to place portable facilities onsite, but Charlotte Police Central Command Capt. J.W. Estes isn’t budging.

So they not only want the city of Charlotte, NC to bend the rules for them, they want them to pay for the porta potties as well.
No they aren't freeloaders.  :mental:

1. Someone might think to make a night deposit at the local PD


Or just on a police cruiser.

If protesters wish, Estes said they could place portable facilities on nearby private property

You would think the huge mass of people protesting there could pool their money together and rent a couple.

Oh wait there are only 25 of them.  :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

The portas were a bit hard to find last week.
Cup race going on.
I was in the infield, on the fence, at turn four.
We had one of those portas. Suck it DUmmies! :bird:
BTW, $110 bucks to rent.
That's four bucks and change, each, for 25 hippies.
Like that's gonna happen.  :lmao:

Money aside, they have no place to put it. Public property is prohibited and I can't see a private business wanting a latrine on their property for flea bitten freaks.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Porta potties made by corporations, for use in corporate business, and serviced by corporations.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

It's acceptable though if the city pays for it.  :-)

I think that falls under "jobs saved or created".

I know that at at least some of the tea party events, they paid for them to be brought in. Nthis crowd wants them for free, like everything else.
