Seriously,this is has to be an embarassment for the Left. I just don't see how it couldn't be.
The sheer volume of personal belongings left behind after the early morning Los Angeles Police Department raid has astonished city workers: books and CDs, luggage and boom boxes, mattresses and dining chairs, cellphones, electric razors, a small red guitar with its neck snapped –- all surrounded by dozens of collapsed and empty tents.
A steady flow of people stopped by the park Wednesday to take photos and video and watch workers in white hazmat suits rake trash into neat piles.
As workers broke down tents and placed them in trash cans, Ramir Delgado, 25, snapped photos out of curiosity.
"It's a shame how I see all trash around here," he said. He pointed to his head. "People don't understand that the freedom starts here in your mind."
Delgado said he was disappointed in Occupy L.A.
"You know why this is filthy and not clean is there isn't leadership," he said.
A few feet away, crews in the hazmat suits raked trash of discarded protest signs, nail polish and jars of peanut butter.
"This looks like pure anarchy," Delgado said, adding, “in a Hollywood way.”
Donna Spurgeon, who snapped pictures on her phone, said she was surprised by the mural in the center of the south lawn.
“How did that get built” she asked of the structure that city officials built around an historic fountain, a structure protesters turned into an art piece.
“If you’re here to protest, don’t deface public property,” Spurgeon said.
She said the aftermath looked like a “little war zone, a little ghetto.”
