What a bunch of spineless clowns. I applaud the Mayor for dosing them with some reality and telling them to take a hike. Nomadic Occupy? Really? Go home, kids.
WRAL reported:
Carrboro, N.C. — A protest group calling itself Carrboro Commune took over a vacant downtown building Saturday that they hoped would become a community center, but was recently purchased by the CVS Corporation.
Interim town manager Matt Efird said the people who broke in are related to the “Nomadic Occupy” movement, a local off-shoot of Occupy Wall Street. Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton went to the site and asked the trespassers, who had built a table and were carrying in containers of food, to leave peacefully.
“You have the opportunity to leave without getting arrested. You can leave now,” Chilton told more than a dozen protesters.
“Why should we?” one of them shouted.
“You don’t have to,” Chilton said. “You can get arrested if you prefer.”
Police officers then entered the building.
“This is the point where I’m not longer asking you to leave. I’m telling you to leave,” Chilton said.
Also, this gem:
“I make barely above minimum wage. The only thing between me and getting evicted is two months’ rent,” a man who identified himself as Johnny Moran told Chilton. “I’m sick of living in a society like this.”
When Moran described the police as an army between hungry people and the food in the grocery store, Chilton told him, “You’re full of crap.”
I think I have a crush on Mayor Chilton now. Yes, they are and they like to get rid of it in public. Their little band of miscreants then left, but threatened to come back and rally again. Oh noes!
I think perhaps Mr. Moran misspells his name?
Indeed. Anytime I type it I have to correct myself…
Is it Moran or Moron? Oh never mind I figured that out.
-and suddenly, his approval numbers doubled!
“You’re full of crap.”
As O’Reilly would say, “That’s pithy.”
Indeed. I laughed. This Mayor Chilton fellow is my kind of Mayor.
