Occupy Wall Street Protesters Greeted With Earliest Snow in 59 Years

New York City was hit with snow for the first time before Halloween since 1952, making life miserable for the already cranky Occupy Wall Street protesters. Central Park set a record for both the date and the month of October with 2.9 inches of snow, leaving demonstrators in Zuccotti Park drenched after the storm moved through the region. In an “Urgent” post on the Occupy Wall Street website, protesters called out for help from supporters willing to send gloves, long underwear, winter coats and other supplies to bailout demonstrators unprepared for the early snow. The post read:
“It’s been dumping snow here in NYC all day, high winds and 3 inches of slush on the ground. With theNYPD and FDNY confiscating six generators on Friday and this unprecedented October snow, those occupying Liberty Plaza in downtown NYC are in need of emergency supplies crucial for cold weather survival (and occupation).
We’ve made a lot of headway on getting winter gear here in the last 48 hrs but definitely need more. Please help by purchasing or donating supplies directly. Winter gear and other necessities can be dropped off in person, delivered, or shipped.”
CBS New York writes that protesters have been reportedly receiving winter weather survival tips from the homeless. Since their generators were confiscated Friday, protesters are waiting on stationary bike generators from Boston to have their media center and food service area fully powered and illuminated by Monday.

They collectively could have done humanity some real good by the following: Serving in a homeless shelter, passing out meals, cooking for the homeless, volunteering at a abused and battered womens shelter, passing out groceries to some unsuspecting passerby in need, donating their funds to a local charity, church, temple or synogue, helping to tutor a non-english speaking single mother IN English reading and writing, collecting trash alongside the roadways of America, wrapping packages for our troops overseas, selecting gifts for the needy, taking a low paying job to help our economy.

Posted on October 30, 2011 at 9:40pmThis sure is different from the TP protests. They went home for goodness sakes when the Freedom Works busses who brought them came to take them back home. And besides, Freedom Works only paid for a light lunch, and they were hungry. And sure, FOX gave them positive coverage 24/7 but once FOX made it’s point, the TP were expendable. Sure they went home!
Now, thanks to FOX and this website, the movement is getting 24/7 coverage. Why? Because the protestors are addressing the inequality in the US, something that doesn’t support the millionairs. The TP would happily pay more taxes, to the detriment of themselves and their children, so that the rich can become even more rich and the poor and middle class can become more poor.
What is this OWS nonsence about government policies helping the average American?

Posted on October 30, 2011 at 11:33pmThere are a lot of REAL homeless people who would truly appreciate such kind donations, amazingly the OWS thugs are barring and banning homeless from Zucotti park which is an ironic turn of events – I thought this movement was about socialism/communism, so should’nt they equally be sharing everything with all… its amazing now they are barring people – that’s just like a “border fence – no open borders…” and what, will they issue some kind of badges to check people’s status? Well don‘t they say that is racist to check someone’s ID…
Seems the OWS is learning that you can pretend to hate what makes America work, but in the end, in order for them to continue on, they will have to adopt and use the very things they claim they are against, this is what happens when fools lead fools.
Welcome to the Real World.

IF this cold spell keeps up, do you think that the owsers might start praying for a little good old fashioned global warming, or climate change, or whatever it’s being called now?
Oh, sorry, I don’t think many of them pray.
But I bet they wish they could increase the size of their carbon footprint right about now.

Posted on October 30, 2011 at 11:56pmWeren’t they complaining Friday & Saturday that the homeless were eating up all their expensive donated food, and camping out with them? Now it’s those same homeless, who’re giving them winter weather survival tips? Gee kids, maybe you should look at it this way, “THEY’LL TRAIN YOU HOW TO SURVIVE ON NOTHING BUT HANDOUTS AND PEOPLE OFFERING FREEBIES! Maybe not all of them are there because of the kind of choices you guys are making, MOST OF THEM JUST WANT TO SURVIVE, YOU WANT TO TURN THE WORLD TO COMMUNISM! Go figure, it’s been in America for years, under the guise of the homeless population, proped up by your heroes in the democrat party. AND YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SPECIAL???

But while they’re there, someone should put up on one of those buildings, a 24/7 picture of Gen George Washington, and his troops, barefoot and tattered, with bandages wrapping their feet because of frostbite, praying in the snow, that they might establish this free country they’re trying to destroy!

Posted on October 31, 2011 at 10:15amThe OccuWhiners are blind. They, in all likelihood were never taught about George Washington and the Continental Army going thru all they had to do to make America free. They probably think the Pilgrims landed here, immediately started killing the Indians and enslaving everyone they could find.
I really doubt they know any of the true history of the birth of America and how hard it was for our ancestors to win their freedom from the British.
