Occupy Wallstreet

[Pete Nice]

The Occupy Pittsburgh people are camping out on private property owned by Mellon Bank. They were supposed to leave by noon Sunday due to safety concerns with trash and propane heaters. They refused, saying that it is not Mellon's property, it is the people's due to money received by Mellon or some shit. Mellon usually closes off the park in the winter to the public. Again, is there really a need to trespass and break the law? NO there is not. Why can't they just go home and come back the next day and legally demonstrate on public property.

So Mellon is taking the high road. The people wouldn't leave by noon yesterday, so Mellon had them all served with trespassing notices this morning by the Sheriff's dept. It gives the trespassers the opportunity to speak their peace in court. The assholes refused to accept them.

Seriously? Are they asking to get arrested? They don't give a fuck about the original Occupy premise, they just want to take video of police removing them from private property they should not be on in the first place and taking advantage of the liberties afforded by them by Mellon for 3 months. Mellon could have had them all arrested for trespassing the first night.

Assholes.
