which means you wont see things like these. Im in my local OWS camp. How are we going to continue? Many in our camp are becoming disheartened at violence in Oakland and things like this.

CBS LA reports (via):

SAN DIEGO (CBS) — A pair of Southland street cart vendors who were forced to shut down their businesses after “Occupy” protesters vandalized their carts are hoping to get some help from local residents.

KNX 1070?s Tom Reopelle reports a fundraiser in the Gas Lamp district in San Diego on Monday night [11-7] is aimed at helping two vendors get back on their feet.

That group first settled in to the plaza Oct. 7 and set up a tent city which has since twice been taken down by police.

Coffee cart owner Linda Jenson and hot dog cart operators Letty and Pete Soto said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.

And according to one city councilman, bodily fluids were used in the attacks.

“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio.

The damages will likely require at least a complete cleaning if not a replacement of the cart covers, DeMaio said.

In addition to the attacks, the vendors also said they recently received death threats.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to help the two business owners.

by not relying on the OWS brand. find other projects, they are popping up all over, and get your weight behind it, or as many as you can.

Interesting. Isn't it apparent to you that the democrats have been behind this from the get go? To help bolster them for 2012 elections?

The 1st week of the movement, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid say the movement is going to be effective? Effective to do what? They are both in the 1%. If they truly thought it would be effective, they would not be supporting it.
