So what is it like down there? Where is everyone going to the bathroom?
I wonder if any of these people have offered the clean the restrooms for the businesses that are being so accommodating. I feel that would be fair, if not, why?
It would. That's a lot of butts on a few toilets.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO RESERCH A PORT-A-POTTY COMPANY WHO IS WILLING TO DONATE!
I would like to ask why would a company donate towards what is starting to lean towards an anti-capitalist movement. A company is not a charity and they wouldn't be willing to clean up urine and feces for free I can promise you that.. Now on the other hand we don't know how true these claims are.
and until then, where is everyone peeing?
This is an obvious ploy to develop an excuse for the police to remove the 99% from Zuccotti Park. Leave it up to Fox to formulate this fabrication.
Yeah, obvious ploy. Forget about the fact that these people decided to do some urban camping without forethought to basic facilities.
This story has been on CBS/1010Wins since real early this morning based on a statement from Brookfield Properties (the park's owner). Fox probably picked up the story from CBS.

Actually a blogger is the first person, after 20 days, who finally contacted Brookfield for a statement. Now the news media is jumping all over it.
Sometimes the MSM is so intellectually lazy. You would think that it would dawn on some of these 'professional journalists' to ask these kind of questions. It's pretty basic.
But the question does remain: Where is everybody peeing?
They've been going to the restaurants in the surrounding area. They've said that the workers at McDonald's in particular has been very accomodating.
I was at Liberty Plaza the day of the Brooklyn Bridge march and there were long lines at the places directly across the street for the bathrooms. I walked four blocks to a deli to find a quiet place to grab lunch and use the facilities.
The park itself is only a one block pocket-park affair. They are surrounded by restaurants & office buildings
Thanks for satisfying my curiousity. That's pretty cool that the restaurants are being so accomodating.
Would be bad press not to.
