New York – Rep. Grimm to OWS: Lowlifes Pack Up, Buy a Bar of Soap, and Get Out of NYC

    23

    An Occupy Wall Street protestor is grabbed by police as he tries to escape a scuffle in Zuccotti Park, Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011, in New York. Two days after the encampment that sparked the global Occupy movement was cleared by authorities, demonstrators marched through the financial district and promised mass gatherings in other cities.

    “These people have overstayed their welcome and it’s time they get the heck out of New York City. Between the filth, the smell, the incessant noise, and threat to public safety, they have done nothing but cause a nuisance to the people who work and live in Lower Manhattan. They’ve cost the city and surrounding businesses millions of dollars, and it’s time these people find a more productive use of their time. New Yorkers have had ENOUGH!

    “The people I represent are the hard-working ‘99%’ who simply want to go to work, do their jobs, and get home to their families without being hassled along the way. They already face one of the longest commutes in the nation without having to deal with this mob. It is reprehensible for these lowlifes to overrun the Staten Island Ferry or the subways to Brooklyn and add further hours to the trip home.

    “I applaud the efforts of Mayor Bloomberg, and the NYPD under Commissioner Kelly’s leadership, in cleaning up Zuccotti Park and managing a potentially violent and destructive situation. They have done a tremendous job! However, it has been two months and now it’s time for the OWS protesters to pack up their tents, buy a bar of soap, and head home.”

    An investigation needs to be started to see who coordinated and/or funded the national efforts in the name of “Occupy”. It is improbable to believe that it wasn’t an official organization.
    I won’t be surprised to learn that it was a politically connected organization.

    Funny….

    I’m pretty sure the Occupy Wall Street protesters feel the SAME WAY about the greedy 1% working on Wall Street who make more money than 150million of us put together!

    Gee…. wonder how they got so rich!

    Bet they ALL made earned their money fairly, wisely, without greed, and didn’t use or abuse ANYONE to make their salary!**

    A poem for the Occupy Wall Street Activists:

    My dear sir on the street corner
    Can you spare a cent?
    I walked into the Wall Street March
    And that was really low rent.

    The OWS movement is yet another example of how socialism is introduced, in this case on the issue of “wage inequality”. I don’t want to live in an “Amerika” that puts limits on what I – or you – can earn. The offenses on Wall Street happened with government complicity. Don’t forget that. And your “Jewish majority socialist Obama” stepped in to bail out the banks. Don’t forget that. We have ourselves to blame for voting in this cunning buffoon. And yes – OWS is a national effort, supported by another “great” Jew – George Soros (tzuris) as his MoveOn group.

    A) There is greed dishonesty selfishness at every level.
    B) In the USA every person has equal opportunity to become like the 1%
    C) “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”. “A poor man pays twice”. “Poornes runs after poor people” These are saying”s that were written in the Chasal more than two Thousand years ago.
    D)Our country has problems but its the best system we’ve got.

    Sherry the noahide
    This is not the place to be jealous on the people who made it rich
    Its american land of opportunity
    unity and not communist russia and china

    But this isn’t the point
    My main point is the people who suffered rom the ows are not he rich but the working and middle class who has to go to work around there
    I however didn’t go for sales in that area since
    It wasn’t worth the hassle

    You’re just jealous, Sherry.
    The government is in charge of making sure the corporations & its executives abide by the rules. If they’re flaunting it, the protests should be directed at Washington for allowing them to do flaunt the laws. But, “greedy” is not what the rich are, that’s what people who want to keep what’s theirs are (greedy) and if its theirs, they don’t have to give anyone anything (as long as they paid their taxes). If you feel they should pay “more”, protest your politicans to change the laws. OWS protesters are jus “jealous” of what someone else has and they don’t.

    Where was the kindness of the OWS crowd when they found that homeless people were coming around to share in their food…they tossed them out…so much for love thy neighbor.
