Occupy Boston Tagging Up the City, Menino About to Go All 2007 Aqua Teen Hoax on Their Asses

Official Shitter of the Occupy Movement


Boston police are investigating a rash of graffiti in the city's financial district that appears to be in support of the nearby Occupy Boston movement. Police say nearly two dozen locations, including banks, were hit over the weekend by spray-painted messages that say things such as "End the Fed" and "Tax the Rich." Some of the graffiti includes a capital A in a circle, a symbol used by anarchists. Police say they have made no arrests but are looking at surveillance video from the area. Protesters from Occupy Boston are living in a tent city on the edge of the financial district. Some protesters say vandalism is counterproductive to their goals and they don't condone the graffiti.

Cue all the overly liberal friends of yours from college claiming conspiracy today! I haven't logged in to Facebook yet but I can think of three people in my feed that should be all over this and I'm almost guaranteeing that 2 of the 3 will blame Menino or the Boston Police for the Grafiti, using it as a set up to disperse Occupy Boston.

Because it would be absolutely unfathomable to think that out of 100's of people living in tents in the middle of down town, not one of them is a bad egg who would lash out in an illegal way in support of their cause. Impossible, just wouldn't happen, right guys? Out of all those people down there making creative posters all day long like it's their job (oh yea, it is...), it would be way too much of a stretch to assume a few of them are into tagging.

Glad you guys had fun while it lasted, but I'd say your time has just about run out. Menino will tolerate a lot, spitting on female coast guard members, absolutely ruining the Greenway which just happens to be the best park in the city, listening to Marxist chants from entitled students and chuckling, and even paying for police detail overtime, but I'm pretty sure when you lash out like immature children or adults that never grew up, that's where Mumbles will draw the line....Lest we forget the guy basically called for martial law in 2007 when some guerilla markters for Aqua Teen Hunger Force went around pinning up Lightbrite pictures of cartoon characters...I'm pretty sure he's going to throw a shit fit once he ties this grafiti back to the Occupy Camp.

Of course all this would've been avoided if you'd rented a hall a couple weeks ago and let leadership organize your group and run it like a real organization instead of a bunch of ragamuffins.

Joey Quits: Rhode Island Man Quits Job With Help of Hipster Bandmates


(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A Rhode Island man who was fed up with his job quit with a band on hand. Joey DeFrancesco, 23, of Providence, says his boss didn't treat him well during the three-and-a-half years he worked at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Providence. Check out the video, which has become a YouTube sensation with more than a million views. 

Congrats Joey, I'm sure it's no leap to assume you're camped out with Occupy Providence now, holding some kinda homemade sign complaining about not being able to get a job. But hey, congrats on the show.


All seriousness, that guy had it coming. At first I fig'd Joey and his hipster friends were just lazy bastards who didn't want to conform to adulthood, but this manager or whatever he is just seemed like a grade A prick. Absolute fascist.

Occupy Movement Spreads to Providence Where They Protest...The Mall?



PROVIDENCE, R.I.—The Occupy Wall Street movement made its mark Saturday in Rhode Island, as well over 1,000 protesters with the group Occupy Providence marched peacefully through the capital city then set up camp in a city park. Stopping outside Bank of America, the Providence Place Mall and the Statehouse, among other locations, the marchers decried "corporate greed" and celebrated democracy. They said they represent the 99 percent of the country that is disenfranchised as the U.S. economy and government have become dominated by corporate interests.

That's so cute of Providence, pretending like they're a real big city and not more like Worcester than Boston.  Seriously, if you think Boston has a New York inferiority complex, it's nothing compared to Providence's Boston complex.

How can you not laugh at this? New York protestors are outside Wall Street, the financial center of the world, Boston protestors are outside our Financial district, while not as big as NY's, still respectable...and Providence protestors are outside the mall...Yea, the Mall. Protesting the GAP and Forever 21. Way to be heard Providence. Did you all duck into Fire and Ice after for a nice buffet?

If you're in Providence and are going to protest how do you not focus on workers rights for Rub N' Tug girls and even looser legislation for all the Under-21 bars throughout the city?
