Wow... This New Tactic Is Great !!! - #OWS Really IS Everywhere !!!
 In the last five minutes I've read about an abandoned school in the D.C. area being taken over, as well as some foreclosed properties in Oakland, CA.

The establishment is gonna find... they were WAY better off when they were all encamped In a central location.

NOW... they are having to chase them down from one place to another.

And fortunately/unfortunately... there are plenty of abandoned buildings these days... many of them "Public".

The Movement... Is Viral !!!

Umm, I hate to break this to you, dumbass, but hobos have been doing that for decades. It's called "squatting".

Also, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of OWS? I mean, if you're all holed up in some abandoned warehouse or some such, aren't you out of sight, out of mind, away from the cameras, and generally out of the public eye?

On second thought, you're right. It is a great tactic.

3. The cops are going to have to play Whack-A-Mole with OWS.
 Good.

Oh I think it would be a lot easier instead of dealing with crowds. Throw in the gas and nab them one at a time as they scurry out the door. Like swatting roaches.

Plus if you do it on someone's private property, they might not act with as much restraint as the police. Especially with things like Castle Doctrine and "stand your ground' laws in effect. Things could get real interesting.

Just saying.

Worth repeating.  H5.

The OWS sympathizers complain that the banks owning the homes aren't maintaining the properties they own, allowing them to degrade and decline, lowering the chances they will eventually be resold to anyone.

Raise your hand if you want a bunch of OWS goons playing house in your neighborhood.

I'm sure when they occupy these buildings they will clean them up and fix up what is broken, or they will just shit and piss all over the place.

I think it was taken for granted... you can house break a dog but not a DUmmie.

Not only that, but my dogs are smarter and better behaved than any DUmmie.

Plus, they eat less, smell better, and have better hygiene. 

Not to be comparing dogs to DUmmies.

I wouldn't insult a dog that way.

You know, when 99% of America think and act like the occupoopers, I believe I'll just give up...not surrender, just give up and shoot myself.
