I said to my wife this morning that in other OWS protests around the country, those cities are cracking down on these loonies before anything gets out of hand. It’s only in New York where our Mayor Bloomberg has given OWS license to stay as long as they want as long as they didn’t break any laws. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani has gone on record stating that he would have never allowed OWS to sleep in the park that first day. Area residents are very upset at the stench that emanates from Zuccotti Park.
But, this is New York where Liberals rule the roost. I think come election time, there’s going to be a backlash at the ballot box against OWS sympathetic Democrats.

The Occupiers aren’t a political movement, they are a crime wave!
It started with sexual assault, drug dealing, rioting and attacks on police officers. Now Occupy Madison has been denied a permit because of a history of public masturbation:
City officials temporarily denied Occupy Madison a new street use permit Wednesday after protesters violated public health and safety conditions and failed to follow the correct processes to renew or amend a permit. …
A neighboring hotel’s staff alleged voiced concerns about having to recently escort hotel employees to and from bus stops late at night due to inappropriate behavior, such as public masturbation, from street protesters.
In addition, officials agreed further occupation should not be allowed to continue without restrooms on site to avoid further public health violations

Despite the media's efforts to prop up OWS, I think in the long run it will badly hurt the Democrat Party.
