The Urban Grind

You’ll see that my title Occu-Turd is quite fitting given what these protesters recently did in Manhattan.

A Philadelphia man was arrested for allegedly helping Occupy Wall Street protesters dump human waste into various locations in Lower Manhattan.

Surveillance video captured Occupy Wall Street demonstrators dragging containers of human urine and feces to an open-air plaza at the corner of Nassau and Cedar Streets just before 8 p.m. last Wednesday. They are then seen pouring the waste down the stairs.

Police say a separate incident happened the same night around 20 minutes later. One of the suspects, also captured on surveillance video, entered a Chase ATM vestibule on Water Street and poured the human waste into the vestibule.

Another 100 of these protesters were recently thrown out of Union Square Park as well.

Initially, the Trinity Episcopal church, located near the old World Trade Center, was supportive of the Occupy Wall Street people. However, since the protesters were recently evicted from Zuccotti Park, they wanted the church to let them set up their camp in a gravel lot near Canal Street. (The Trinity Church owns a lot of lower Manhattan.) But this time, the church said no. And so the occuturds have now turned on the church.

Here’s what one occupier had to say, which I think sums up perfectly what their whole movement is about:

“We need more; you have more,” one protester, Amin Husain, 36, told a Trinity official on Thursday, during an impromptu sidewalk exchange between clergy members and demonstrators. “We are coming to you for sanctuary.”

In other words, their raison d’etre is jealousy, and their battle cry is “gimme, gimme, gimme!”

I like what this one commenter at Powerline had to say:

Perfect! OWS and the left in general in one slogan–pure aggressive, threatening beggary.

When Mayor Bloomberg’s police came for the moldy, torn, used books, I was silent, for I was not a moldy, torn, used book.

When they came for the filthy, used, fast-food containers,
I was silent, for I was not a filthy, used, fast-food container.

When they came for the smelly, old boots, I was silent, for I was not a smelly, old boot.

When they came for the abandoned tarpaulins, I was silent, for I was not an abandoned tarpaulin.

When they came for the leftover leaflets, I was silent, for I was not a leftover leaflet.

When they came for me, there was no more garbage left
that could protest.
