Also, to claim that there was a "moat" is disingenuous at best. There is a pool surrounding the elk, but the manner in which they worded their accomplishment made it sound as though it was a purposefully built border of water for the express purpose of fortifying what is inside.
The claim that they "outsmarted" anyone is also misleading, at best. People were climbing the elk all night, and the only opposition given to anyone attempting this was from myself and others working as medical volunteers who did not want to see anyone fall and hurt themselves particularly since many of the crowd doing the climbing were inebriated individuals who, for lack of a better term, were merely spectators at the event who had little to no actual interest in defending the protestors or the park.
Anyways, glad you got your petty little jollies by stealing someone elses property who had hung it as an expression of their first amendment rights. Also, a good number of the Occupy protestors locally and abroad support Ron Paul. But I wouldn't expect you to know that, as you admitted to not knowing much of anything about Occupy and from the slight slur in your voice I am presuming were at least a little inebriated.
That having been said, at least Tea Baggers didn't cost our city nearly a million dollars.
(and without getting anything done too)
I didn't see you bracket this with and , so are you serious? Have you not read the manifestos of both groups?

Occupy is in transition towards being a long term force, probably not camping, or doing pranks. The Tea Party has likely peaked judging by polls.
best quote ever.
@Andy: The Tea Party doesn't stand for shit. It was a well-financed marketing campaign to trick angry people into voting and mobilizing against their own interests. People seeking "fiscal responsibility" and "civil liberties" then voted in a bloc of elected officials dedicated to increasing spending while not paying for it, expanding warrantless wiretap programs targeting American civilians and bitching about fluorescent lightbulbs and pizza being a vegetable.
If you think the Tea Party is anything other than that, I would love to see any kind of evidence you can offer. But it's not. It's just that.
2. Anyone readin Yahoo for news is....I don't even know where to start with that one.
3. Keep not responding to fact-based criticisms in favor of knee-jerk, shallow retail politics. I sincerely hope you don't get fucked over by the Tea Party congress. I can point to existing legislation they have gutted or shot down that directly affects my life and livelihood in detrimental ways.
Good job Republicans. Owning stuff that isn't yours. Kill a Republican, save the world.
Oregometry, as soon as the OccuFail movement write any factual criticisms, please notify me so I can respond.
