Hazmat Called After Occupy Charlotte Protesters Used Storm Drain As a Toilet…
The world is their toilet.
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.
About four protesters watched as haz-mat crews scooped debris into five containers for testing. Eric Dow, who has been on the site since October 2011, says he never saw anyone using the drain as a toilet. He says new protesters are told where the closest public restrooms are.

Hazmat Crew? A little overboard I think.
But then again, they can charge these hippies for the rendered services too!!
Shitter’s full!

Damn! Where’s a cop car when you need it
But, what about the environment? What about the Rivers and Bays? Don’t we want to save them? /sarc
Hey-y-y-y-y, man … It’s all organic. Okay, dude?
The cops should rub the pukes noses in it…….
Trashing the enviroment that the tax-payers will have to pay for the clean up.
Meanwhile why are they protesting? They want the American Tax-payer to pay for there student loans!!!!!
And they get away with this because why???
All because Obama wants there vote!!!
What a mess this country is in.
Share the bodily fluids with everyone down stream.
Just like a 4th world country.
Overkill, and a completely idiotic response.
Now they’ll be using their own shit as bioweapons to disrupt everything.
I live here in Charlotte and had the distinct honor to witness a hippie beat down. Yesterday at 230 pm the cops here moved in and removed the trash. Several were arrested and made for a fun filled afternoon.
Make em drink it.
Getting my camera ready for the DNC convention. I may have to get in on the hippie beat downs. Any here have the honor of punching a hippie?
FYI… just to call out a HazMat team, the cost starts at $10K.
I’d guess Barry’s OWS Riot Squad isn’t going to pay for this… the taxpayers of Charlotte will.
The City Government should all be recalled, thrown in jail and have to pay all associated costs.
My favorite sign for a toilet in Kalifaggafornia :
“Flush twice, it’s a long way to the bay”.
Don’t be so quick to dismiss the precautions. G_d only knows what these filthy fcks are incubating in their bodily excreta. Hep A, B, C, e-coli, who the he11 knows.
Evidently these spoiled little assholes never had the benefit of proper toilet training.
Daycare generation, where they were allowed to express themselves by defecating all over the place til they were five.
Why can’t the EPA get involved here. Purhaps at the next occupy they will make them to a enviormental impact study before they are allowed to set up a camp.
I was told these people were one with nature, now only to discover they are pollutors.
My what a shame
@vagabond
You aren’t upset are you?
Eric Dow, who has been on the site since October 2011, says he never saw anyone using the drain as a toilet.

Again with the “not me” excuse.
Typical government overkill. Yeah the hippies should crap in a john or on their brother John and yes and yes they could have a disease but a hasmat team call out? Dog crap, horse crap, bird crap and even mosquitoes infected with whatever humans can catch get into storm sewers everyday. It is as stupid as the time somebody called out the HAZMAT team for the white powder on frozen turkeys in a store after the last biological threat.
Reminiscent of Haiti?

Maybe they are dumping the after math from there meth labs in the drain also?
But since these people are Democrats everything will stay out of the public eyes.
@Ohio Dan:
If it were not directly connected with the drinking water source, that may be a different tale all together. However, this does seem to be directly connected
“Plus the water goes downstream for other people to drink further down.
@Ohio Dan
Not really overkill. These filthies no doubt use meth and other drugs, as well as some STD cooties thrown in the mix. Everything about them is nasty and cleaning up their poo is 10x worse.
@Hickster:
Can’t yell at the cats, gotta let loose once in a while.
To the folks saying “overkill” — so next time you’ll volunteer to clean up? And won’t need all that fancy and expensive gear?
Can I donate a cut up 55 gallon barrel, diesel, matches and a stir stick to the Occupodders?
@vagabond:
@Tackleberry….wear protective gear.
Yippee!!! Only seven more months until the convention comes to town!!!
////////////////
The occupyers need to return to the sewers from which they crawled out of
Wait a tick, Didn’t we see a few weeks ago where a maintenance engineer got a felony conviction for MISTAKENLY directing sewage into a storm drain?
Their first clue that the occupods were peeing in the storm drain should have been a week ago when a couple of frogs hopped into a local 7-11 and loaded up on twinkies, fritos and dr. pepper.
the EPA would be in an uproar about this if it was cow manure.
A decade ago when mr fubar and i were still dairy farming, the valve on our slurrystore busted off and sent fermented manure out into a stream. It was a fiasco you’d think it was toxic waste.
all those centuries of cows pooping while getting a drink in streams, but when occupodders do it, it’s ok.
