Occupy London Now Protest-Pooping In Neighboring Cathedral

They seem to have a problem with the concept of feces, as a general matter.

Occupy Santa Cruz, for example, has a real problem with the poopie.

And in London:

The St Paul’s Cathedral protest camp has become littered with human waste and graffiti, while alcohol and drug use are rife, according to legal documents filed by the City of London.

The Corporation, which is taking legal action to evict the protesters, highlighted the filthy conditions ahead of the court battle which is due to start this week.

Parts of the dossier come from registrar of St Paul’s, Nicholas Cottam, who wrote to a corporation official outlining the disruptions faced by the cathedral.

Mr Cottam wrote: ‘Desecration: – graffiti have been scratched and painted on to the great west doors of the cathedral, the chapter house door and most notably a sacrilegious message painted on the restored pillars of the west portico.

‘Human defecation has occurred in the west portico entrance and inside the cathedral on several occasions.’

Occupy London has added a new twist, too: Freely roaming dogs.

I have nothing against dogs. But generally it's a sign of disorder when unattended dogs roam the streets.

Verum Serum excepts a good piece about the media's well-night absolute whitewashing of all this.

The non-coverage of the Occupy movement has been a watershed, at least in my mind. What has been so shocking about the liberal coverage of Occupy Wall Street is its total and complete submission to politics. With its disease, drugs, assaults and rapes (hundreds more than were reported at Altamont), the Occupy movement has become like a series of small Altamonts. When the Occupy crimes began to escalate, I thought: Surely the media will cover this. I visited the Occupy site in Washington a couple times and asked about the rapes. I was told by someone, a journalist in fact, “Well, you know, people get drunk, go into a tent to sleep and try and feel up somebody.” It was said with a shrug. Imagine the reaction if such a thing happened at a conservative conference. Actually, we have an example — the CPAC conference several years ago where there had been drug use and an attempted rape. It was the talk of the town, until it was revealed that the entire story had been made up by New Republic fabulist Stephen Glass.

And, via Hot Air, Occupy shows up to Occupy the Super Committee, at least 48 hours late -- they've declared failure and gone home already.

We can't even read a schedule, or match a schedule to a date on a calender. Quick, put us in charge. We have really good idears n stuff.
