SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Salt Lake City police say a man found dead inside his tent at an encampment of protesters likely died from a combination of drugs and carbon monoxide poisoning. Police Chief Chris Burbank ordered the protesters to pack up their tents and leave Pioneer Park by Saturday night after the body was discovered Friday morning. The Occupy Salt Lake group has been in the park for weeks, protesting what they say is corporate greed, in solidarity with the larger Occupy Wall Street protests in New York and elsewhere. Burbank says authorities found a propane heater inside the dead man's tent. He says the Occupy group can protest in the park during the day, but cannot stay overnight.
This is cowardice at best.
Time to put back on the blue coats and call ourselves minute men, Time to take to arms for our country, I'll be glad and honored to be the first to die.
There are over 10,000 gunshot related deaths a year in America. But yes, 7 deaths out of tens of thousands is a reason to shut down this movement. Where would we be if we decided it was to cold to fight the English? Where would we be if MLK Jr. decided going to jail was enough of a reason to stop speaking.
Stop trying to make excuses for us, I know how to put on my big boy pants... you needn't hold my hand.

And your point is?
Just more of the same from OWS drugs, stupidity. This is now I believe the 7th death of OWS not including the many crimes that are being committed on a daily basis, nature does have its ways.
Apprently when they read the books from Darwin, they only read the "ape to man" part and not the "survival of the fittest" part.
