[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I am truly I have a great idea, all of you who support the occupiers should foot the bills for the police, clean up etc.  Why should the rest of us have to pay for these idiots?  Personally I was disappointed here in Calofornia that the LAPD didn't go "LAPD" on the occupiers.  I just about threw up when they brought them turkeys for Thsnksgiving and let them squat for 2 months.  Imagine how many job applications could have been filled out, while all these buns sat around in tents doing nothing.[/quote]

1st Amendment rights are guaranteed and don't come with a bill. The police could easily reduce their expenses by ending the shows of force. There is absolutely no reason to deploy what are essentially armies against peaceful protesters who are doing nothing more than chanting. But, if you want protesters to begin paying the costs of their activities, let's apply that across the board. As a resident of DC, my tax dollars are constantly used to pay for the costs of protests from an entire slew of causes. Our public safety resources are almost always being diverted to some march or other that rarely has anything to do with local DC issues. You don't thing Glen Beck's demonstration with its "five million" participants was free do you?
