    They say the motley crew hanging around Zuccotti Park is destroying their businesses.

    Fox 5 News reported that small businesses in the area have lost a reported $479,000 due to a lack of regular traffic.

    The business owners, who employ hundreds of people, will be on the steps of City Hall at 5 p.m. Their main message will be that it’s time for the crowds to go home. They are also upset that Mayor Bloomberg has done nothing to help get rid of the encampment.

    The only one to blame for this, is that idiot by the name of bloomberg. How dare he let people suffer and lose money, in today’s economy no less, because some lowlife sick anarchists decided to create havoc out of boredum ???

    What a disgrace. This has crossed all lines of “free this and free that” already. There’s no freedom to shut a city down!!

    And our mayor doesn’t have the guts or brains to do anything about. I’m actually appauled that he can get away with this….

    These protestors have attracted the lowest scum of the earth, such as vagrants, vagabonds, panhandlers, drug users, pickpockets, mental cases, drunkards, sex offenders, etc. Whereas they may have had good intentions at the beginning, these protestors have let their movement become hijacked by the degenerates referred to above. It is time to end this madness, now!
