Okay, I'm not here to bash anyone. I work R E A L L Y close by those protest by the Capitol, and the other day one of the Occupiers went to my place of work to use the bathroom. However, the workers at my place of work, told the person that we don't provide public restrooms, but since they didn't know, it was okay for them to use the bathroom this time......... WELL ...... The person who used the bathroom made a MAJOR MESS, and no I'm not talking about a mess with toilet paper or paper towels, I'm talking a mess with $#!T. The thing that really gets me, is that there are portable bathrooms station on the sites that they're camping at. Moreover, there are also multiple locations nearby that provide public restrooms.
That is some nasty $#!T! Sorry about that.
Please don't let one moron portray the entire movement with his foul and uncalled for actions. Sorry to hear this.
Maybe it was an instigator to turn you off from the movement. I am sorry. I hope it wasn't one of us. But who we are protesting might be scared and trying to use these tactics to turn you away from us. I hope this incident doesn't. We believe, in our hearts, we are doing this for all of us.
The most obvious conclusion is that the shadow one world corporation government facists hire double agents to walk into random business to make a mess in their bathroom in order to discredit the movement
I agree. If some people are trying to discredit the movement then it is too bad. Hopefully they will wise up. I second the apology. I believe the movement will help make the world better for all of us.
That sucks don't think of all of us that way because of one douchebag.
Just admit it you loser protesters - you want something for nothing, just like this person that left the mess. You're jealous about the 'haves' because the majority have earned what they have. You, the 'have nots', don't want to work for anything, you just want it given to you. You can't get free food and shelter from mommy and daddy anymore, so now you want Obama and his union bosses to force the real taxpayers to give you what you want.

What can we say Americans have problems.
Sorry? That was just one person, though.
sorry. i don't believe that this person was a legit protester or member in good standing with the protest. but if they were. triple sorry.
Sorry to hear that! People in this country need to act like responsible human beings, not animals, regardless of their political views.
You should be upset. We all should be upset. I mean, we just experienced the biggest Wall Street scam in the history of this nation. 22% of our nation's GDP was wiped out by this criminals on wall street. Millions of Americans were relegated from middle class status to poor in just a few months. Millions remain under water on their homes and healthcare costs are breaking the American middle class. Meanwhile our politicians are completely disconnected from this reality. They have failed to get meaningful reform on Wall Street, which by the way, begins by bringing the criminals to court first.......If you are not frustrated then you are either ignorant and naive or you are part of the 1% beneficiaries.
That very well could have been done by someone who was anti-occupy. Perhaps even by someone you work with or for.
There are people who are doing their best to put a stain on occupy in the public eye
That is the act of a provacatur, people sent out to discredit the movement. It's the oldest trick in the book. Recently someone staged a thing where somebody supposedly from the movement was defacating on a police car - turns out it was a car from a different bourough.
Good grief, sorry about that.
My advice would have been to photograph the mess (probably impossible now), and if the person returns, photograph them, too. In any case, bring some material to the Occupiers, either online or in person (ask around for someone connected to the Assembly), and give them half a chance to deal with the specific idiot in question. OWS is slowly getting better at dealing with saboteurs and morons, and we're increasingly image-savvy.
Hey, good idea, but If I saw a picture of a fecal matter, I would probably get sick too.
Feces are damn gross, and that's part of the outrage here. Unfortunately, a big forum can't do much beyond expressing sympathy without SOME means of identifying the dung-throwing throwback.
I am soo confused what occupy site has portable bathrooms not in Bloomberg town that is for sure. When Bloomberg heard that the OWS crew was coming to Washington Square he put a fence around the portable bathrooms. He is a jerk, I have yet to see a portapotty at Zucotti park. Is there portapotty's at Zucotti park I haven't been there in a week? I doubt it.
no they won't give them a permit
"I want to do what I want when I want and everybody better go out of their way to accommodate me or I'll really throw a tantrum." Why can't you bring your own portable toilets?
Out of curiosity, Mariana, what is the nature of the business you work at?
What happened there is disgusting.
I work for a non-profit organization, and we are literally on the corner near the protest.
I was just wondering if this idiot who did this had some attitude of opposition toward what it is your business does.
They Occupied the Toilet :)
oh oh you have poo poo probrems??
i doubt it. whats the name of the biz?
My bad, I thought I would decorate your washroom. I thought it looked cool! The bathroom smelled bad before I walked in there.
So you're part of the 1%, huh? Anyone from the 99% isn't too good to clean up the shit of another member of the 99%.
Now you're talking like a 1%!
No! You're talking like a 1%!
No! You are.
Nuh, uh! You are!
I'm rubber. You're glue whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.
Yeah? Well you're ugly! So neener neener!
I'm telling!
