Gaaah. Protesters...

[Inspector Fowler]

Normally I'm not a super political guy. I educate myself and I vote, and that's normally as far as I go. So I don't post a lot about politics in the forums I visit.

But these Occupy Fort Collins protesters are killing me. Now they have permission from the local bike co-op to set up a tent city on their property. They're begging for donations to keep the protests going 24/7. Wait - you are protesting how the rich are manipulating the system so they can stay rich, and to keep protesting you need the middle class to donate "environmentally friendly food staples"? I thought they were barely scraping by! How can they afford to give you guys food or a "portable toilet"?

I often joke that hippies are my natural enemy, but I'm starting to think it's true. I hope that the neighboring businesses start whatever process they need to to declare this some kind of nuisance and make the city kick these lazy *******s back to their parents' basements.

I'm surprised they didn't just take over the bum park by Rodizio's.

The bums would kick their arses and rob them.

I think if they took that over the city could do something about that. The bike co-op seems to be private property. Besides, we all know that real hippies don't actually co-mingle with homeless people, they just look like them.

Seems like a pretty elaborate way to describe a Molotov cocktail.

If that happened I would be wishing I owned the nearest liquor store...if the "99%" idiots even had anything!

Ft. Collins is becoming another Boulder. I grew up here and it is changing. Every place you look are cars from Illinois and Massachusetts with "Coexist" and "Obama 2008".
Damn!

best thing to do is honk while next to them, then flip them off.

If enough people are mean to them maybe they will leave.

I've been watching the Denver ones. They pushed the local drug dealers from the Cofax and Broadway corner to the center of the park. I walked thru today and the only capitalists I saw were the dealers and the mexican burito salesman.

I saw signs looking for the downfall of the rich which acording these folks is anyone with a few dimes they don't want to share. I have not seen a single American flag, not once.

Basicly I see the people who are unemployable regardless of the economy, requesting that the gov level the outcomes because they don't fit in the current society we live in.

Just for fun I circle the park in the am at 5:30-6 on my way to work with my horn going, just to be sure they are keeping the protest going 24/7.
