The situation is just getting worse and worse for both protestors and residents in New York.
The quality of life for the Occupy Wall Street protestors have been drastically declining, with residents claiming that they are living on urine-filled streets and have even gone so far as “defecating on our doorsteps,” according to one neighbor.
They are also disturbing residents with loud drum beats that go on throughout the night.
Neighbors have gathered together and have asked for the protestors to vacate Zuccotti Park, where they have set up their base camp.
The board however, has called for a resolution that doesn’t affect the protestors’ First Amendment rights, but still calling for a crackdown on noise and public urination and defecation.
Holy shiz.
U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer and state Sen. Daniel Squadron said that the resolution is:
“…an attempt to establish a sensible framework that respects the protesters’ fundamental rights while addressing the very real quality of life concerns for residents and businesses around Zuccotti Park.”
What a crappy situation. Literally. Is there any way to get some porta-potties for the protestors?? Or maybe an agreement with local businesses? This just doesn’t seem right for anyone involved.
