Charlotte Occupiers Squat Over Storm Drain

The Charlotte Occupiers haven’t just been squatting on public property for months without a permit, they were also squatting over storm drains.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- A haz-mat crew with the Charlotte Fire Department was called to 600 East Trade Street, the site of the Occupy Charlotte movement, on Tuesday morning.

City workers who had been cleaning the area noticed toilet paper on top of a storm water grate that drains into a nearby creek. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police and city officials believe some protesters have been using the drain as a toilet.

"We're looking at the environmental impact on the stream down there with the wildlife, and things like that," said Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Dulin.

"Plus the water goes downstream for other people to drink further down. But again, we're just trying to cover all our bases, and make sure that if there is any type of environment impact, that we're able to identify that and then correct that and make sure there is no further environmental impact downstream," he added.

What’s a little fecal matter to the 99%? Hasn’t the 1% been dumping on them all their lives?
