BOSTON (CBS) – Three people arrested Thursday night inside the Occupy Boston camp have been charged with dealing crack cocaine.WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Carl Stevens, who spent the night at the camp a few weeks ago, talked to a man who spends most nights at Occupy Boston. He said things have gone downhill.“Things have changed drastically. It seems to be deteriorating,” the man told Carl. “A lot of drug use, alcohol use, people getting into fights… It’s deteriorating pretty quick.”

The announcement came after police officers were called to the park around 10 a.m. on reports of a death. An unidentified male was found deceased in a tent. The death does not appear to be suspicious.It appears as though the death may have been the result of both carbon monoxide poisoning and a drug overdose, police said.The Occupy SLC movement is one of many protests being conducted nationwide in protest of corporate greed.
Steven Sclafani, 39, of Burlington said he was walking through City Hall Park at around 3 p.m. when he heard a bang.“I thought it was a loud firecracker,” he said.Sclafani said he then saw smoke coming from a tent. Three people ran out of the tent, he added. “I heard someone say ‘He shot himself.’ I ran over and saw a man lying on his back,” Sclafani said.The man was inside a tent, and at least one other person was trying to help him, Sclafani said. Sclafani said he immediately called 911 and police arrived in the park a short time later. Sclafani took a picture of a handgun placed on the park grass amid fallen leaves; he said he believed it was used in the shooting.
With wintry weather poised to swoop into the cramped outdoor quarters of Occupy Wall Street protesters, it may not be long before more campers catch what's being called "Zuccotti lung."That's what demonstrators have dubbed the sickness that seems to be spreading among them at an unpleasantly high rate these days: "It's a real thing," Willie Carey, 28, told the New York Times.With little sleep in cold conditions, cigarettes and drinks being passed from mouth to mouth, and few opportunities to wash hands, Zuccotti Park may now just be the best place to catch respiratory viruses, norovirus (also known as the winter vomiting virus) and tuberculosis, according to one doctor.The damp clothing and cardboard signs wet with rain are also breeding grounds for mold. Some protesters are urinating in bottles and leaving food trash discarded throughout the campground, providing further opportunities for nastiness.“Pretty much everything here is a good way to get sick,” Salvatore Cipolla, 23, from Long Island, told the Times. “It’ll definitely thin the herd.”Some protesters have refused free flu shots, citing a "government conspiracy," the Times said.There is also the increased risk among the encampment of sexually transmitted diseases, said the doctor, Dr. Philip M. Tierno, Jr. of the NYU Langone Medical Center. And the site's pounding circles could lead to hearing damage.
Michael Moore, who is rumored to be worth 50 million dollars, addressed an Occupy crowd in Denver last week and railed against “greedy” corporations. Though that isn’t why he went to Denver in the first place.Moore was in Denver on a tour to promote his $27 memoir, ‘Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life.’By the way that book is published by Grand Central Publishing, a subdivision of the French company Hachette, which is the second largest publisher in the world. Hachette is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lagardère Group, a multinational conglomerate headquartered in Paris which does business in nearly 40 countries. Among other things they hold a 7.5% stake in EADS, a global defense and military contractor, which absorbed the Lagardère subsidiary Aérospatiale-Matra, a French missile and aircraft manufacturer.
“Pretty much everything here is a good way to get sick,” Salvatore Cipolla, 23, from Long Island, told the Times. “It’ll definitely thin the herd.”
Most embarrassing moments in U.S. History:1. Slavery, 3/5th's compromise, Jim Crow etc. 2. Trail of Tears3. Fall of Saigon4. Failed rescue of Iranian hostages5. Obama's support of OWS
This reminds me so much of the Tea Party protests. How many Tea party candidates were elected in 2010? 40-50?With the backing of the Obama administration, this could be the beginning of a big swing in congress. How many Occupy candidates will be elected into the house and senate in 2012? I see a tidal wave of support for the movement. Maybe 60-70 Occupy candidates could be elected.

Looks like Obama's support of OWS is the second most embarrassing non-military moment in US history, right behind slavery.'grats B.O. really raising the bar in D.C.

Teapot Dome4. Lewinsky5. vomiting on Japanese PM
