It is great to see that finally, somewhere in the dreaded "Occupy" protests, a city has said enough is enough.
That city is Salt Lake City, Utah.
Police took action, albeit way too peacefully than your humble blogger would have. They actually negotiated with the "Occupier" vermin how the event would occur. Of course even with such a negotiation, in which people were going to be assisted with lodging for the night, some would not go away. And of course they were arrested.
Why was this done?
Because an "Occupier", a homeless man, was found dead in one of the tents. I guess death is the only way that the authorities will deal with these vermin.
And authorities are letting the "Occupiers" protest during the day. Just no more tents overnight. Thus it does take one of the most important elements out of the movement. At least in Salt Lake City. That is that the "Occupiers" are taking over and claiming the land in Pioneer Park as their own.
I say it is about time that these vermin are knocked down a peg.
What raised the ire of some is that the Salt Lake City sanitation department used a front loader to knock down the areas that the slovenish occupiers have made a mess. Here is a quote from 21 year-old Drew Baker:
"This is what a police state looks like."
And Mr. Baker was leading a chant of that line.
Well, Mr. Baker, if it really was a police state, let me tell you, the protests that you are a part of would have never been allowed in the first place. You would have started and probably been taken away and never to be seen again. I believe that once you are released from jail, you will be right back at it.
But you will have to stop making it like some big camp-out.
What is happening is that, as I noted in this post, there is a push back among regular people. You know, those of us that actually have to work. Go to many of these areas that are now being "Occupied" by people that, beyond a few, have no idea what they are doing.
Eventually, even in parts of the nation where many politicians, Democrats one and all, have supported the movement, they will have to move these vermin along.
Salt Lake City is getting a jump on it. And there someone had to die for the authorities to do anything about it.
More cities must take the lead of Salt Lake City. Will there be confrontations? Of course there will be. But it is necessary to end this "Occupation" and if these people really want change, let them work peaceably for that goal.
It is time to stop this movement and either they will mainstream on their own. Or become the kind of movement that Americans do not want a part of. A violent one.
