Does this shit come to any surprise to you?
Members of Occupy Boston — the social movement founded on demands for fiscal accountability — were divided yesterday on whether they should surrender any of their $60,000 in donations to cover the hefty costs of restoring the muddied Rose Kennedy Greenway where they built their tent city.
But they were united in saying there’s no way they’d contribute some of their tens of thousands of dollars in donated funds to defray police overtime costs.
Occupy Boston member Shane Aspinall, who is part of the group’s money-management team, said the group absolutely should pay to restore, to its pre-occupation grandeur, the Atlantic Avenue park where they squatted for months.
I’m not holding my breath that they WILL pay to clean up and repair damages…that being said this was an illegal occupation of public land. Now I don’t agree with the bullshit where one needs a permit to peacefully protest. (Not that this rabble is peaceful in any sense of the word) but squatting public land is an illegal act, and I have to agree with that. If we’re going to have public land (and in an urban environment that’s just a reality) then it simply can’t be squatted.
Of course the money they have in their accounts won’t pay for a tenth of the damage as well as the resources squandered. Bah!
OK, we know they have cash, they have now publicly put out a number. . . where are the City of Boston lawyers? Why are they not suing them for payment of Overtime and Repairs???
If I was living in Boston I would be calling Menino on this one since we all know the money has to come from somewhere to fix this and I wouldn’t want it coming out my kids schools. . .
You know Mumbles won’t press to trouble the kids. Remember he actually LIKES them, hence why he turned his back for as long as he did.
That being said, I wonder how easy it will be to seize the money even if the desire is there. I mean its not like there’s leadership at Occupy Boston. That’s why I call them the “Kill the Jews” movement, the guy who holds this bank account with the money in it is just as much a “leader” as the person spitting on the cops, or proclaiming we kill the Zionist Jews.
