Businesswoman goes off on Occupy San Diego protesters - San Diego, California News Station - KFMB Channel 8 - cbs8.com
I'm hearing about businesses being destroyed on both coasts by the occupiers.
Then post the links.No, it's not the only one. It's the first one I heard from the left coast.
I've been hearing about the ones in NYC for awhile.
In case you didn't grasp the intent of my thread title, I'm inviting others to post examples/links.

Oh, I grasped it all right.
How many small businesses has the Occupy movement destroyed?
How many people have you raped, Amelia?In case you didn't grasp the intent of my thread title, I'm inviting others to post examples/links.
Oh, I grasped it all right.
Did you appreciate the fact that I don't pretend to know everything? So I ask questions ......
There's been a lot going on but I don't have cable and the Occupy movement hasn't taken up a lot of the bandwidth of the sources I do hear. Just enough to pique my interest in this aspect. Hence my invitation to anyone who wishes to participate.
You are doing a good impersonation of someone who is afraid of the information which might come out, someone who wishes to hijack the thread before it can go anywhere. That wouldn't be who you are, would it?

Before it became a 24-hour protest encampment, Zuccotti Park attracted a lunchtime crowd from the offices in the Financial District. In interviews Tuesday, more than three weeks after the protesters arrived, the dozen or so food vendors who work around the park said their businesses have taken a nose dive.
The vendors complained that crowded and dirty conditions have forced regular customers out, and patronage from protesters who are well fed thanks a steady stream of donations hasnt made up for absent office workers.
The workers used to have lunch down there, Marhraoui said, pointing to the parks dirty and crowded scene. What can I do?
Other vendors expressed similar frustrations. One smoothie vendor said sales has fallen between 30% to 40% over the past three weeks. Workers at the fruit stand selling produce from Migliorelli Farm in Tivoli, N.Y., blamed the protest for driving off about a third of their normal sales.
Ali Amin, whose breakfast cart is usually empty by noon, pointed to three rows mostly full of donuts, muffins and pastries around midday on Tuesday. He has been serving customers in the same spot on on the edge of the park has been for 20 years.
The regular customer doesnt come in here Its very hard to bring my customer back, Amin said. I wish they finish things soon.
But perhaps no one was more frustrated than Stacey Tzortzatos, owner and manager of Panini & Co. Breads. She said shed likely join the protesters if they werent hurting her business so much.
All I know is that my business fell 40%, she said. My regular Wall Street suit-and-tie people dont want to come.
Tzortzatos and her husband opened the business in 2004. Protesters have been using the restrooms so heavily that the restaurant has experienced flooding.
Im not a conglomerate like theyre trying to fight, she said. I cannot pay my expenses.

Occupy Oakland protesters return downtown to claim Frank Ogawa Plaza - San Jose Mercury NewsIf we shut down the city, there is no chance (the city leaders) won't hear us," Chavanne said.Protesters said the proposed strike is the next step in the global Occupy Wall Street movement.
No, it's not the only one. It's the first one I heard from the left coast.

And the San Diego story wasn't just that she couldn't sell. Included is her being threatened because she wouldn't give away her goods for free.
Fariyal Lakhani, owner of a kiosk next to an Atlanta park where a few dozen protesters have camped out, said people aren't buying candy bars and sodas, or they want things for free or at a steep discount.
"We're very upset," Lakhani said. "There's no business. Too much argument."
A 7-Eleven one block from the protests in Portland, Ore., reported a higher-than-normal $6,000 in shoplifting since the protest began Oct. 6. The store has added a security guard.
How many businesses have Republicans helped move to China?
How many businesses has Mitt Romney sent into bankruptcy?
All good questions.
