Charlotte Occupiers Arrested for Burning Flag Without Fire Pit
A group of Charlotte Occupy punks were arrested yesterday for burning an American flag without using a fire pit.
Police also charged Jason Bargert, 28, of Charlotte; Michael Behrle, 23, of Matthews; and Stephen Morris, 20, of Matthews. Bargert has been identified as a spokesman for Occupy Charlotte.
Tyler told Occupy Charlotte members Friday that he'd met the three other men about 12:30 a.m. Friday.
"I've seen this group lose its activism and become lazy," said Tyler, adding that the other men told him, "We're going to give Occupy Charlotte a wake-up call."
According to a police report, officers spotted a fire being set about 12:30 a.m. on East Trade Street near the movement's site.
Do these people have a permit for this perpetual protest? And if so, who’s paying for it? The tea party people had to obtain one, and that was good for only a couple of hours.
I’ll give a little credit to these misguided idiots; at least they’re not defecating on police cars, or raping and killing people within their encampment. As for drug use, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised about that.
