Occupy Madison has temporarily been denied an extension in their protesting permit because members of the movement violated "public health and safety conditions." The group also did not properly fill out the form.
City officials cited several specific reasons for their decision. The most notable was repeated complains from a nearby hotel, which stated that protesters were "publicly masturbating" in full view of passersby.
The city also cited health violations because the group had "no restrooms," implying that the protesters may have been defecating in public as well.

On the permit, Madison Fire Prevention Officer Jerry McMullen stated, "You can't be affecting the safety and health of other people around you. With the public health violations and the complaints I've heard, I don't believe it meets the spirit of the ordinance to a street use permit."
He went on to say, "You can tell us what your proposals are, but we have no idea what you are doing, how you are doing it or what your safety and security plan is. We have nothing in writing to back it up, and we usually require that all events have [written plans]."
In the meantime, Occupy Madison has relocated to a different location. They hope to be back as soon as possible.

What's worse... the guy on the right of that photo wants you to "occupy" Madison, which I can only assume is the name of the son of the guy on the left.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY like the Tea Party /sarc
ReplyDeleteThey're spending too much time occupying their hands
ReplyDeleteThis is obfuscation at it's worst. Worthy of FOX News. Good job jerk.
ReplyDelete@anon #1 "jerk", huh?
ReplyDeleteSo... I'm pretty sure that dude above has no idea what obfuscation means. Is he denying this happened? Even if he is denying this happened... I'm not sure how anything in the story above is obfuscated.
ReplyDeleteWill the "Occupy" chefs make do without their secret ingredient?
ReplyDeleteWhen one goes to a Tea Party rally, there are no pre-manufactured T-shirts, union produced signs, paid protestors and useful idiots who should be at work contributing to society and the economy.
ReplyDeleteAnon #2 is right, they're totally obfuscating the situation by... telling the truth?
ReplyDelete"We will continue to address issues as they come up."
ReplyDeleteHey, dummy, that's what cost you bunch of jackoffs the permit in the first place.
GET OUT OF MY TOWN YOU STINKY MASTURBATING FREAKS.

Very special wonton soup for you
ReplyDeleteI thought the pudding tasted a little salty.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Madison for five years, thus this is quite believable. In 2004, they keyed cars with Bush bumper stickers, stole Bush lawn signs and burned swastikas into the lawns with weed killer—and complained that Bush was trashing the constitution! Including, I suppose their constitutional right to shut down other folk’s freedom of speech. They are basically nihilists justifying their barbarism and anti-social fun with a cause, any cause. Meanwhile, the country slides closer to fiscal collapse, followed by social and political collapse. Their degrees in art, theater and peace studies will prove even more useless in a subsistence economy. I will link to this from my Old Jarhead blog.

ReplyDelete...Didn't obama "wrap his arms" around it...
ReplyDeleteWhy did you expect these animals to fill out form correctly? These animals never learned to reads or write. And, yes, these animals are no different than other animals: They breed in the open and do other things in the open without embarrassment.
ReplyDelete'Public Masturbation'....that's a very apt summary of the whole #OccupyWallStreet phenomenon right there
ReplyDeleteSo they caught some union teachers doing what they do best? Imagine that.
ReplyDeleteOWN IT!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of Jerkoffs,I guess they just went and did it till they went blind,or at least blind to reality.
ReplyDeleteYou have no opinions.Your just all judging something way over your head.
ReplyDeleteI bet you people got your information from one person.Fools!This guy doesn't have a clue either.
ReplyDeleteThe SOWS (Squatters Occuping Wall Street) do not represent me. I'm tired of these lawbreakers claiming to represent 99% of the population. They all need to be removed from the public places they are destroying.

Stupid people will believe anything. You DON"T need a permit to protest in Madison. And there is no hotel near the previous campsite.

And you have proof of this? Links please, or I have no reason to believe you either.
These are the... jack offs... that will recall Walker(R)?
ReplyDeleteThe 99% does not refer to who is supporting OWS. The 99% refers to everyone who is not part of the richest 1% of people in the country. Most OWS protesters are part of the 99%. Most people that are against OWS are part of the 99%. Whether you support OWS or not, odds are that you are part of the 99%.
ReplyDeleteYou can rightfully claim that OWS does not reflect your views and that you do not support them, but that does not suddenly make you part of the richest 1%.
Time to get out the fire hoses.....
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that Elizabeth Warren is the intellectual mastermind behind the activity described here..
ReplyDeleteOccupy Wall Street and it's various subdivisions are the end product of resentment and envy. I am not much of a "Bible thumper". I am, however, a Christian man who tries to remember the Ten Commandment and live by them every day. It really makes you a better person and it affords you a better and happier life. I want to direct the OWS crowd to the TENTH Commandment: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; neither shalt thou desire... his servant, nor his handmaiden, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is his." The tenth commandment forbids coveting the goods of another.
ReplyDeleteI'm not preaching here. I'm just using one of the most commonly understood moral codes, designed to maintain social order and build happy lives....
Honestly, it's funny how the OWS commenters on this site are lying their faces off (though, that's what they always do, so I am not surprised).
ReplyDeleteTherefore, to the liar that said there's "no hotel" nearby, all you have to do is Google the protesting spot (30 West Mifflin Street) and you can find that there IS a hotel on THE SAME BLOCK called the Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=30+West+Mifflin+Street&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x88065338923a9c2f:0x8719f0525a2020c5,30+W+Mifflin+St,+Madison,+WI+53703&gl=us&ei=k_KrTov-NsXq0gHc18mxDw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCMQ8gEwAA
No surprise, OWS is lying.
I am not one of the 1% but I am most certainly not one of the wankers in the 99% ....
ReplyDeleteI think the 99% is really only about 5% of the population, most citizens are getting on with their lives, only the stupidest of the loser class are out there in public, spending mommy and daddy's money and wanking off in public.
Very nice.
I've learned alot about Wisconsin this past year. I never knew it was so full of freaks. Good to know.
ReplyDeletecall out the Ohio National Guard. they have plenty of experience dealing with trash. Look at how they handled Kent State. Thats what we need now to send this trash packing.
ReplyDeletethis is a crock of shit and you know it
ReplyDeletecons have to lie when they have no way of dealing with the failure that is their tax free, small foot print war making. You broke it cons, you refuse to let anyone try to fix it and how you try to explain why a growing number of Americans hate you is by making stuff up.
ReplyDeletePitiful is your place in history.
Yeah, this is all a lie! Various news site, Drudge, dozens of hotel employees, city officials, and hundreds of people in Madison are all in on the conspiracy! My logic is impeccable!
ReplyDeleteThey got money to have those shirts made?
ReplyDeleteWhat is being totally missed in all of this, is that all of these people, those who are "occupying" and those who look at it as a freak show, those who were at Tea Party rallies, and those who thought that it was a circus --- we are all citizens of the same country, we should be trying to work together and solve some of these problems. How can people insinuate that these people are lazy, that they are animals, that they have no justifiable cause. The country is having the worse recession since the 30's; and if you are unemployed long term, it is not a recession, it is a depression. Everyone should be angry with the real cuplrits that have brought us all to this point. The government, that because they put party over country, will drive this country into the ground and ALL of us with it, rather than compromise, admit past mistakes, and work together. There is enough blame to go around for both parties; the GOP looks out for their constituents, who are wealthy, are corporations, are the large banks. They want to maintain the status quo. The Dems sat by and allowed it to happen and also contributed to the mortgage mess with the idea that "everyone should enjoy home ownership" --- duh, not if you cannot afford it. But the money was loaned out anyway. Then Wall Street got very creative with new ways to make a buck and screw Main Street in the process. Bush lowered taxes while starting 2 wars. Mathematically that was just stupid, yet congress allowed it to happen. But what is happening is that you are all calling your fellow citizens "animals" and believing anything that comes out about OWS without any real proof. If people were really masturbating in public and apparently were witnessed, where are the photos?? Everyone has a phone with a camera these days. Maybe we the people should take all of this crap coming out of both the left and the right with a grain of salt. Are those who are anti OWS really that hateful that they can have absolutely no empathy with the unemployed. Is it productive to say that they are "animals" because they are camped out trying to prove a point? All of this going on and "anonymous" is concerned about t-shirts?" Really? They are not lazy --- there are no jobs and people are falling farther and farther behind. They are a very diverse group of people and they certainly do look different than the Tea Party group. But if you look, really look, they are just people who are in a lot of trouble. This movement is happening all over the world and that is significant because of the way all of our economies are intertwined. Or are people just afraid because change is coming and the unknown is a very scary thing
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather lived through the great depression. He had three jobs. If you are willing to really work, THERE ARE JOBS. If shoveling horse shit wasn't below my grandpa, it's not below you. It's not impossible if you're willing, so stop whining about being unemployed and start really working. Grow up and deal with it.
DeleteThat's what I have to say to the unemployed and complaining. Perhaps if you buckled down and suck it up, you'd have a job.
Masturbating in public? Then when they gather to threaten others, we must beat them off!
ReplyDeleteThat, friends, is a lie. There have been no verifiable reports of anyone involved in Occupy Madison performing public masturbation; this is nothing more than a vicious rumor intended to discredit the movement. Nor has there ever been a permit for Occupy Madison. From the Occupy Madison Facebook page:
ReplyDeleteOccupy Madison has never sought a permit, and therefore could not possibly have been "denied" one, nor had one revoked. One individual chose to seek a permit for 30 on the square for himself, which had the side effect of temporarily holding off city officials from trying to remove us from that location. That individual did not and was never empowered to represent Occupy Madison. It seems that individual's application to renew their permit has since been rejected by the city. Why the Daily Cardinal thinks that we had anything to do with that, one can only speculate.
Pretty great post. seo services I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I have really loved browsing your blog posts.
