It costs what it costs -

In grafitti removal, cleanup of shit/piss/whatever from the
sidewalks, litter pickup, property damage, police overtime,
you name it.  If you scumbags weren't there, these costs
would *not* be incurred. Period.

If a pile of shit needs to be scraped up, that's what it needs.  <shrug>

People who break the law get ticketed.

Don't break the law, you won't be ticketed.
Fucking ROCKET SCIENCE, eh?

That's because they don't piss and shit all over the place.

Nor do they beat drums, accost passersby, panhandle,
make noise all night, throw things at police cars, smoke
dope, shoot smack, smoke crack, etc.

My, aren't we well-informed.

Gart Brothers hasn't existed for several years.  The
"Sports Castle" is owned by Sports Authority.

As opposed to, what - niggers from the hood?

Beaners from the bario? I thought you assholes
were down on racism...or is that just part of the
costume you don when "fighting the power?"
Or perhaps it's acceptable when directed at
white people.  Is that it?

They *paid* for their gear.  Nobody gave it to them.

They worked their asses off for it. They're looking to
get more - which they will pay for with money they
*worked* for.  Deal with it, asswipe.

Damn, I wonder why.

Didn't I address this already?  I believe I said:

"That's because they don't piss and shit all over the place.
Nor do they beat drums, accost passersby, panhandle,
make noise all night, throw things at police cars, smoke
dope, shoot smack, smoke crack, etc."

I reckon that covers it, eh?

Horse-shit.

You *smell*. Your presence is offensive.  You destroy property
and commit crimes. You spray grafitti on monuments and public
edifices. Assaults, rape, murder, drug use, kidnapping, theft -
all of these have occurred in various "occupy" infestations
around the country.  You're a fuckin' *crime wave*, a menace,
and a public nuisance.  Normal, gainfully employed citizens -
many of whom feed their families as employees of the very
corporations you claim to detest - would like to see you
incarcerated.

Yes!

The employess of Sports Authority will make extra
money during the sale; people who patronize the
store will save money and obtain goods which
they desire.  Denver (and environs) will prosper
as a result of extra sales tax revenues generated
by the sale.  Truckers who bring the goods in will
earn more money from working overtime. Everybody
wins.

You're not protesters.  You're thugs, criminals, deadbeats and no-accounts.

Bathe. Get a job.  Or get outta fucking town, all the same to me.

Ah, racism.

Are we talking anti-honky racism, or is this one of
those other types, the kind you of which you don't
approve?  You've already marked *yourself* as
a racist with your own words.

No.

You *hate* Thanksgiving, or any other uniquely American
holiday.  Fuck you and the code you oozed in on.


Got guns?
