Should Occupy have to pay??

[Baron]

The Tea Party is thinking the Occupy Protestors should have to pay for property damage, extra security, space and other expenses associated with their protests.

Since the Tea Party paid for all the permits, processed all the paper work necessary and cleaned up behind themselves, shouldn't the OWS have to as well??

I hear they are collecting quite a bit in cash donations. Seems like they could reimburse the cities for the costs.

That's a very good idea, the dumb communists must pay for everything.

 

[Ravi]

1. So you admit you were wrong about the tea party group refusing to pay.
2. We agree that any group regardless of political leaning should pay for expenses that their rallys/protests/gatherings incure.
3. You disagree with me and you personally feel that, under the law, the tea party protests and OWS protests are treated the same

No, they didn't pay. They said they need more time, that they were over charged, but in the end the refused to pay and Trump payed for them.

Back at the beginning....they never refused to pay they asked for more time.

So you are being dishonest again on that one point.

They refused to pay approximately $6,000 in charges they disputed. That's why Trump paid.

What's also amusing is they said they shouldn't really have to pay anything for exercising their freedom of speech rights.

Surely OWS will help pay for the clean up and damages. They have plenty of money

Wall St. protesters have money problem: Too much of it

NEW YORK – After a month of bashing banks and other corporations, the Occupy Wall Street movement has had to become a money manager itself.

A volunteer serves meals at Occupy Wall Street's Zuccotti Park headquarters in New York.



It has $435,000. Most of it came from online credit-card donations, but $85,000 has been donated in person at the Manhattan park that's become the center of the global "anti-greed" protests, said Darrell Prince, an activist using his business background to keep track of the daily donations.

Handling the money, and figuring out what to do with it, could be one of the biggest challenges for a movement united by anger more than strategy, and devoted to building consensus among activists with wide-ranging goals

Just look at the damage and problems those dirty liberal bastards are causing in NY.......Christ, those pieces of shit are even stealing the soap and toilet paper from local restaurants....Nothing more than typical liberals who have zero respect for anything or anybody.

What a great opportunity for the guerrilla entrepreneur: Separating gullible saps from their money.

Mebby I should go t the 2nd-hand store, pick up some ill fitting clothes and a set of bongos, then go hang out in Boulder with an empty 5-gallon pail.

 

[Rozman]

No American should have to pay to walk in a public space.


I never complained about the tea party publicly protesting.

I never demanded they pay for anything.

Yet here is the right wanting American tax payers to pay a second time for the upkeep of public property because they dont like their politics.

I doubt very many in this Wall Street crowd pay taxes...The crowd is 98% college students who should not be blowing their parents tuition money like this...
These folks are the student type who major in being students.They go to school forever
taking liberal arts studies and just want to hide from the world,go to class,get high,get laid and waste their parents money...

That wasn't american tea

The tea party vandals weren't Americans. They were British.

Well then it doesn't even relate at all does it

It does if we have another revolution.

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

No, they didn't pay. They said they need more time, that they were over charged, but in the end the refused to pay and Trump payed for them.

Back at the beginning....they never refused to pay they asked for more time.

So you are being dishonest again on that one point.

They refused to pay approximately $6,000 in charges they disputed. That's why Trump paid.

What's also amusing is they said they shouldn't really have to pay anything for exercising their freedom of speech rights.

The truth still eludes you a little bit. They disputed that the total was too high, they asked for more time to pay, trump found out and offered to pay, they accepted his offer.

Like I said earlier I don't think that protests like the tea party protests or OWS should have to pay for permits to have their events however the laws on the books say people do.

Property Damage, yes. Permit's where Necessary.It's a learning experience for the Cops which is priceless, thanks to Bloomberg's slow action. We might as well make the best of it.

Just keep lying to yourself, trying to convince yourself they refused to pay. They were willing to pay, Trump stepped in because he was the key-note speaker.

Hell, Occupy hasn't even offered to pay, they will be offended if anyone asks.

Freedom of Speech doesn't mean free for some but not for all. You have so lost this argument, you are grasping at straws Ravi.

Did MoveOn pay their bill?

It's pretty pathetic and cringeworthy to watch you refuse to be honest.

Seriously, what sort of profound insecurity must you have when it's so hard for you to admit being wrong? So hard that you brand yourself a liar?

That's just fucked up.

Some people, no matter how bad they look, are willing to admit they are wrong. Those folks don't have a whole lot of close relationships with anyone let alone strangers on a message board. It's pretty sad when you think about it.

 

[Bigfoot]

It is an extremely sad state of affairs when our President has to divide the country as his only hope of winning an election. His personal affairs so out weigh the affairs of the country that the man looks pathetic, yet some fools still back him. When they are not intelligent enough to SEE with their own eyes how Obama has harmed the country, almost bringing on another depression, then they are truly in a precarious position themselves.
