Fed Up: Retiree Clashes With D.C. Occupiers After Attempting to Cut Down ‘Tent of Dreams’ With Scissors

Tuesday afternoon D.C. Occupiers were in for a rude awakening as a local retiree walked up to their “Tent of Dreams” — pitched over a statue of the General for whom McPherson square is named — and attempted to cut it down with a pair of scissors.
Rick Mangus began cutting the strings that held the tent together when protesters realized what he was doing and closed in.
A confrontation ensued, almost escalating to physical violence by protesters against Mangus. Park police stepped in and assisted the tax payer and concerned citizen out of the square to safety.
Mangus was not alone, however, as another fed-up resident also attempted to take down the Occupiers’ tent earlier that afternoon.
“Well I was trying to take it down so I could see it, they can put it back up if they want to, they say its free speech to cover it up, I just figured it was free speech to take it down,” said Paul Ferrow, who works as an elevator contractor and is reportedly sick of the Occupy movement monopolizing and destroying the square.
“If you guys had seen this park about six months ago it was beautiful, we had brand new sod put down on the lawn, it was green and it was beautiful and I ate lunch here frequently during the week, now look at it,” Ferrow said.
Fox News’ Megyn Kelly interviewed Mangus about the incident:
“I’m not an avenging angel, I’m just an average person who has seen this park transformed into a beautiful spot where people can go for lunch, or just to go down and read a book, or whatever — it’s now a desolate wasteland,” Mangus said.
“The grass is gone. It is overrun by rats. It’s a dangerous spot. There are hypodermic needles all over the place laying on the ground. The place smells of urine, and it’s very disgusting.”
He added, “President Nixon used to call the American people the silent majority. Well, we have turned in now into the comatose majority, and something needs to give here. I mean our politicians don’t listen to us. For example, the Mayor of this city plus members of the city council has embraced these people. This has cost the city almost a million dollars in support, back up support for the US park police, or when these people decide to block a highway in the city, plus the trash pick up, and other items.”

It will be just a matter of time before TRUE RED BLODDED AMERICANS decide to stand up to what has been purpetrated upon us, without our knowledge. It will be carnage times ten, so the park won’t make much difference will it, when America is totally destroyed.

I wished we could educate the Socialist OWS’s.
Winston Churchill said if you are not a liberal at age 20, you have no heart, and if you are not a conservative by age 40, you have no brain.
These kids will slowly learn the truth. Remember, they have been indoctrinated by a progressive school system.
we should organize groups of us to go educate them about the difference between capitalism and crony-capitalism.
If they were capitalists protesting the UN, W.H., Congress and the federal reserve banks, I would be one of them.
They did protest NDAA in masse at Grand Central Station.
So I would march by their side for that, and I appreciate their patriotism, although I disagree with collectivism.

So when you violate our rights to use the park as it is intended, we don’t have that right? If I am a taxpayer and you are not, I think I have more rights to the park than you.

Posted on February 2, 2012 at 12:54am“You jerks are of the same mentality of the neocons” Then a few lines down you type “Your generalization of the OWS is abhorrent and promulgates your complete nescience of Politics or Ratiocination.“Corrected the words you misspelled except for ”nescience” as I have no idea what you mean by that.
Get a life, you hypocritical living shade, only in a country that accepts leeches such as the occutards can someone like you think they or their opinion actually matter. Go back to your little tent, and hang out with the 15% this sham movement represents. Peaceful, innocent protest my ass; drugs, rape, and hand outs are what this “protest” is about. Judging by your post, you have the drug thing handled.
It won’t be long before the true majority gets sick of this non-sense. Then we can fulfill the job of the police and expel these useless vermin from our parks; useless eaters or useful idiots, both apply to this “movement”

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 7:55pmI would wonder at what point am I able to withhold my taxes from the city of DC? If I do not support them why do I need to pay for their protest. They need to be charged a fee to pay to occupy. They need to keep the area clean or be evicted.

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 8:15pmJCannon are you really this clueless? What are the OWS doing by destroying the grass, leaving trash on the ground, attracting rats (at least birds of a feather flock together), using the park as their personal toilet. Don’t talk to me about destroying personal property.
Your sense of outrage is pointed in the wrong direction. He was helping the police out. They told them to take down the tents, they weren’t complying.

Posted on February 1, 2012 at 8:03pmThere is something seriously wrong with Obama. There is darkness in him. A darkness that actually scares me. Most politicians lie or bend the truth. But I have never seen anyone lie the way Obama does. His lying has no effect on him. One could almost say that he believes his own bs. And yet, he is completely detached from his own words. At best he is a pathological liar. And I bet he laughs all the way about what he has gotten away with. If you pay close attention you can actually see it sometimes when he suppresses the joy of being able to say certain things and get away with it.
Obama is an enemy to the US. It is so obvious that he doesn’t like America.
Please God, let the people wake up.
