Belligerent Occupy Eugene Shuts Down City Council Vote on Extension of Freeloading

On December 15, 2011 Occupy Eugene's stay will no longer be welcome, according to the current lifted camping ban deadline. Eugene city council held a public hearing for petitioning occupiers to address the council December 12, 2011. The meeting quickly turned into a belligerent frenzy of occupiers in discontent of any opposition and talk of eviction. At one point the council was forced to leave the chamber from occupiers breaking out in pathetic song, with no regard for others in the room. In the end the council was forced to postpone the vote until Wednesday at a more peaceful time, rather than in front of the hate filled crowed that shouted them down Monday night.

The Register-Guard article is balanced and fair. Your headline shows that you are biased.

@rcoates97402 I don't Sugarcoat it like the Mainstream Media.

@lindabebe835 It's terrible how they shout anyone down who opposes them. Especially when repeatedly asked not to by the council.

that is a funny lady in red said they were on the defense you were is charge you should be on the offense. But they were in charge and that was the course of action they chose to take and I thought they made a good choice.

@manholewisdom I like how Councilman Mike Clark just sat there.

Yeah, cause these people are just FILLED with hate. Because if I really HATED someone, I would go to a meeting on my night off and address a set of people that supposedly have authority in the same building that supposedly justifies their authority. I would TOTALLY come prepared with comments that support my cause while at the same time leaving room for a democratic process that I completely disagree with. Civil disobedience is the highest form of patriotism. You're lucky they don't throw rocks.

Classy. This is what happens when natural selection is obstructed. How anyone can honestly believe that actions that mirror that of a three year old having a conniption will produce positive results is beyond me. On a positive note the criminal records of these mouth breathers will ensure that they are not allowed to attain a position of power. Moonbeam Dustpan will have to settle for minimum wage while the actual 99% go to school to enact change within the system, and not by killing grass

@rcoates97402 Aaron is much like the Fox News Channel. He is "Fair and Balanced" as long as you agree with his world view. If you disagree, you are suddenly labeled an evil communist, socialist, Liberal out to destroy America.

Looks like a bunch of Elderly Senior Citizens trying to relive their glory days of the 1960s.

If you only had the slightest clue about what journalism is really about.....how sad. Though on the bright side I'm sure you might have a career at Faux News--this is EXACTLY the kind of "gotcha!" hit pieces that they love and adore.......

You're fool and a waste of Oxygen.......

[joeysixtysix]

They continue to hurt their own cause (whatever that is) with these ridiculous actions.

[westernciviliznation]

Actually, I'm rather impressed by the Occupy & Council sparring match... Eugene does it kinder and gentler than other cities... and it shows... at confrontation.

why did the bastards runs?
