I don’t have a problem with protests.

I don’t have a problem with freedom of speech, I exercise that right, in this space pretty regularly.

Hell, I’m unemployed and part of the reason I’m unemployed is that my industry was linked to the government. As the markets became uncertain, so did congress. One of the first things congress did was  to stop making decisions about funding.

As the time for decisions passed, contracts in my industry starved. This caused a slow painful death of the project I was working on and many others. The deaths of those projects meant thousands of people being laid off.

If anyone would have a reason to be encamped with an Occupy (whatever) protest it would be me!

I am, however tired of the Occupy Wall street movement. I’m  tired of their directionless unfocused protests.

I’m pretty sure that there are a lot more people like me at this point than there are of the protesters.

Whatever point these people were trying to make they’ve made. It’s now time for them to exit the stage and stop being PAINS in the ASSES!

These Occupy people are costing all the tax payers money. This at a time when most cities are having a hard time meeting  budget in the first place. It’s not just about the special police protection… It’s about clean up, and disruptions in traffic.

In LA anything that disrupts traffic (Including Presidential visits!) costs everyone time and money in the form of work and gas.

The LA Occupy Wall Street group is sucking up even more tax payer money by asking a Federal Judge to stop their eviction. This is plan wrong on it’s face.

It’s interesting to note… while these people are against capitalism, they are selling buttons to fund their cause. If that’s not capitalism in it’s purest sense I don’t know what is.

LAPD as said that they’re going to evict these people. They made a big deal about setting a deadline. The deadline came and went they’ve still done nothing.

LAPDs inaction and failure to execute their plan makes them look weak and impotent. Exposing to anyone else in LA that the rule of law and authority need not be followed.

The Occupy crowd needs to move on and change the world by finding the architects of the banking collapse and exposing them. Bring the people who caused and fed the criminal banking excesses to account.

Then Occupy will have done something useful.

Anything less than that and it’s pretty obvious that Occupy really was nothing more than a bunch of overeducated, unemployed, whiny never do wells,
